I admit I do not understand this industry. I needed a lawn care guy, so I flagged down the guy doing my neighbor’s yard because I liked his work. He gave me what I thought was a very high quote, but I figured it was worth paying for good work, right? Told the guy “deal” just start on my yard next time your out and email/text me an invoice and I’ll pay it immediately. He agreed and I thought we were set.
Well, he never sent me an invoice and never did any work. He still does my neighbors yard 2x month. I mean isn’t it a slam dunk to my yard at full price, since you’re already here?
That’s the other thing too. Everyone on my block has a different yard guy. 15 houses, maybe one or two retired guys do their own lawn. Everyone pays a service. 12 different lawn companies!! If I got a client on my street, bet your butt I’d be knocking on every door trying to win more contracts, it makes no sense to me that they don’t even try.
