Recommending a StrategyGreen Way Lawn Care Service

Vision Statement Provide quality lawn care for people who

don’t own the proper equipment or don’t have the time or the ability to care for their own lawns.

Goal and Objective Earn money Have fun

Today’s Situation Too many lawns for

me to mow by myself I want to continue the

business

How Did We Get Here? Last year’s customers asked for the

service again Neighbors of last year’s customers have

asked about the service I already own two mowers and other

equipment that I used last year

Option #1

I can mow all the lawns myself Advantages

I would get all the profits

Disadvantages I would risk injury, overextending myself I might not do a good job, and customer satisfaction could

suffer I would have little free time I would have to keep up with all billing and collection

Option #2

I can ask Marcus and Julia to join the business Advantage:

Together we can complete jobs faster We would share the profits and work.

Disadvantages: Are there enough lawns to mow? Who would keep accurate costumer records.

Option #3

I do not mow lawns this year Advantages

I would have lots of free time Disadvantages

I would have little spending money I would need to find a summer job that

might not pay as much I would not be using the equipment I own

Recommendation

Recommend I ask Marcus and Julia to join the business

We could work together to earn money and satisfy customers

Marcus and Julia, will you join the business?
