It's important for us, as business owners, to distinguish between our personal salary and the profits generated by the business. The profit is what remains after deducting all business expenses, including our salary, from the total revenue. This is a way to compensate us for the work and time we invest in our business, and it is crucial to ensure that the business remains financially viable while still providing us with a reasonable income.
On this weeks episode, Scott talks about treating your salary as a cost of doing business.

Convincing potential clients that we're worth their investment is not just about showcasing our skills or the quality of our product—it's about communicating the value that we bring to the table. Confidence in our expertise, a clear understanding of their requirements, and demonstrating the unique advantages we provide can go a long way. Price becomes not just a number but a reflection of the unparalleled benefits and solutions we would bring to each client's specific challenges. It's about instilling confidence that choosing us is not just a transaction but an investment with substantial returns, creating a partnership that extends beyond dollars.
This week, Scott and Kati talk about dealing with the "sticker-shock" that can arise when we charge what we feel we're worth.
QUESTION —Are potential clients often surprised by how much you charge? Let us know on our Facebook Page.

The negative impact of ineffective communication during the estimating process is often under-emphasized. Miscommunication, misunderstandings, and poor client interactions can not only damage our company's reputation but also lead to the loss of valuable clients. The estimation phase of a project is often a potential client's first interaction with our business, and the importance of a good first impression is HUGE. Prioritizing effective and professional communication will enhance our estimating process and, in turn, foster stronger client connections.
In this weeks episode, Scott recounts to Kati an experience he recently had with three companies he approached to get estimates for a project.

Quoting a landscaping project can be complex, but a quick and accurate estimate demonstrates professionalism, responsiveness, and a commitment to the client's needs. It can also be a key factor in securing the client's trust and business. But if out quote isn't accurate, and doesn't reflect our true numbers, we can lose money on the job.
On todays show, Scott talks with Weston Zimmerman about how to simplify, and accelerate, the estimating process with the SynkedUP app.

Efficient cash flow management is paramount for any landscaping business. It ensures that we have the ability to cover daily operational costs, invest in necessary equipment, and navigate the seasonal fluctuations of the industry. By closely monitoring the flow of funds, we can avoid cash shortages during slow seasons, maintain a proper fleet of vehicles and equipment, and seize opportunities for growth and expansion. Furthermore, effective cash flow management enables the business to handle unexpected expenses like equipment repairs or unusual weather conditions without disrupting operations. Cash flow management is not only about financial stability but also the key to thriving in a competitive and seasonal industry.
This week Scott talks to Adam Linnemann of The Green Executive about implementing the Profits First system of cash flow management.

Saying no and sticking to your price is crucial. It demonstrates self-respect and sets clear boundaries, ensuring that we are not undervaluing ourselves or our services. When we stand firm on our pricing, we not only maintain our integrity, but also establish trust with others. It sends a message that our time, expertise, and resources have value, which can ultimately lead to more equitable and respectful relationships, as well as more fulfillment and success in the long run.
On today's show, Scott talks about this and much more with Remmington Holt of Amarillo Land Services.

A robust web presence and effective marketing to your existing customer base are paramount in today's business landscape. A compelling online presence not only showcases your brand's identity but also serves as a gateway for customers to find, engage, and connect with your products and services. Equally crucial is marketing to your existing customer base, as it fosters loyalty, trust, and repeat business. By consistently engaging and offering value to your current clients through targeted marketing efforts, you not only secure their continued patronage but also turn them into brand advocates who can help attract new customers through referrals and positive word-of-mouth. In essence, a strong web presence and customer-focused marketing are pivotal in ensuring sustained growth and success for any landscaping business in the digital age.
This week Scott talks about all this, and more, with Matt Smith from the Service Industry Podcast.

Collecting payment from customers is a crucial aspect of any landscaping business. Effective payment collection ensures a steady cash flow, which is vital for our fiscal sustainability. And while the vast majority of our customers pay up without a fuss, we occasionally run into a slippery eel who will dodge and dart and try to out-maneuver us at every turn.
On this weeks episode Scott and Kati discuss the importance of striking a balance between being firm in pursuing payments, and maintaining positive customer relationships.
