Eight Changes to Boost Your Revenues in 2016

Every business wants to

grow their revenues

every year.

The ones who succeed are

the ones who make strategic changes rather

than hoping for the best.

1) Update Your Pricing to a More Sustainable Model

You might be thinking, “What if I raise my prices and lose my clients?”

The reality is that your customers are altering pricing for their clients as well. Most will understand the adjustments.

You could be wasting

hundreds, if not thousands of dollars during this upcoming busy season by

having your prices too low.

Learn more about how to price correctly.

Analyze your problem

services, adjust prices

accordingly, and get

yourself off on the right foot

this year.

2) Trim your overhead costs to save without even thinking about it

Look for ways to cut down on your overhead costs.

• Shop around for better insurance – it could save you thousands this year.

• Put limits on costs like supplies or repairs that tend to get out of hand.

• Encourage employees to take better care of assets like mowers, blowers, and trucks.

3) Plan for your success instead of just planning for the worst case scenarios.

You should perform an action every single day that will help your lawn

care business thrive.

On a calendar, mark each day that you do something — outside of your

normal tasks —that helps your business grow.

The rows and rows of crossed-off days will serve as both a motivator,

and an accountability device.

4) Be prepared to dust yourself off after failures occur.

Learn how to avoid being one of the lawn care businesses that fail.

Take each failure for what it is: a learning opportunity.

• If you’re too busy to make strategic changes, maybe you need to stop and figure out how to take control of your day.

• If your marketing isn’t working, maybe you need to try new tactics.

• If you’ve got the will but you’re struggling with the way, maybe you should look into joining a group like Service Autopilot Academy.

There is a solution to your problem.But you’ve got to be willing to work!

5) Plan out everything you want to accomplish in the coming year

for the rest of the year.

new clients and contracts.
