Friday Aug 01, 2025
Your New Sales Team Works 24/7—and Doesn’t Call in Sick
Too many landscapers are slammed with calls, questions, and quote requests they don’t have time to answer. And that means one thing: missed leads.
In this episode, Scott and Kati break down how you can use AI tools like chatbots and voice assistants to handle common sales conversations without adding more to your plate. These tools work around the clock, never call in sick, and can be trained to sound just like your business.
You’ll learn:
✅ How chatbots and AI voicemail actually work (no tech degree required)
✅ What they can really do for a busy landscaping business
✅ How to use them to pre-qualify leads and answer FAQs automatically
✅ Why this isn’t about replacing people—it’s about reclaiming your time
✅ How AI can help you stop losing jobs to faster competitors
If you're tired of feeling behind or overwhelmed, this might be the simplest way to get back in control without hiring more help.
🎯 Quick win: Think of 3 questions you’re always asked by new leads. That’s exactly what your AI sales team should be trained to answer.

✅ Why your truck, quote, and crew say more than your Facebook page ever could
✅ The difference between branding and marketing (and how most landscapers get it wrong)
✅ Real talk on websites, logos, and what customers really notice
✅ How branding helps you charge more—and attract clients who actually pay on time
✅ The simple fix to make your business look like it’s worth the price
Ezra and Scott don’t pull punches—this is straight talk about why your image matters, how to stop looking like a one-man show (even if you are), and how to build trust before you even pick up the phone.
🎯 Quick win: Walk outside, look at your truck, and ask yourself—“Would I pay top dollar to hire this guy?”

What to do when "You're too expensive"
Friday Jul 04, 2025
Friday Jul 04, 2025
Ever had a homeowner say, “You’re too expensive”—and not know what to say next?
In this episode, Kati breaks down exactly how to handle price objections without getting defensive or dropping your pants (your prices, that is).
You’ll learn:
✅ Why “too expensive” is usually just a conversation starter
✅ The power of “What” questions to uncover what the customer really cares about
✅ How to turn sticker shock into a sale (with mulch, patios, or planting beds)
✅ Real-world scripts and responses you can steal today
✅ How to use AI (yep, even ChatGPT) to practice these conversations
Kati walks you through examples word-for-word so you can confidently answer price pushback—and sell the value, not just the job.
🎯 Try this on your next estimate: ask, “What would you need to see to feel good about this investment?” Then shut up—and let them talk.
