In part 6 of our scaling series, Joey and Kevin discuss building a local network. Local Networking is a key component to creating a brand, building your dream team, and making strategic connections with suppliers. Without building a local network, it is borderline impossible to scale a large lawn care company! We also hear back from Kevin, as he returns from helping the victims of Western North Carolina.

Kevin Salters is a former GM of multiple million dollar lawn care companies. He has led lawn care teams of up to 300 people, and been a part of selling companies to TruGreen and Brightview. He is the owner of Root Development LLC in Connecticut. 00:00 Weather Talk and Community Connection
