In this episode, Austin has a late night rant on life and a wonderful announcement of their new baby girl that is due in August.

This episode goes all over the place...  I was quite tired but I feel like there are some good take away in this episode.

Go start your Google My Business listing today!  If you already have a Google My Business listing, go update it.  Share pictures. Share videos. Make a post.  Stay active.  Utilize it as if it were another social media platform and the dividends of doing so will be immeasurable.

 In this episode, Austin will discuss a shocking discovery he found out about door to door marketing.  Did you know you needed a peddlers/solicitation permit?!  I had no idea.  Once I started to check the local cities near me, I realized that almost every town has one.  In fact, more townships and cities have this type of ordinance than do not.

Stay careful out there when you are doing your door to door sales marketing.

In today's episode, Austin will discuss what he is doing this year to overcome the objection of price.  This year we are utilizing an integration with Jobber called Wisetack.  Wisetack is a financing firm for small businesses that will finance projects from $500 - $25,000.

Lets face it, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.  This is a sad statistic, but even if you are living paycheck to paycheck, you still need to live. You still have unexpected expenses that pop up all the time.  Offering financing is a strategic way to acquire more clients and grow your service business.  Take a lesson from major airlines.  Even billion dollar companies are offering a "Pay Over Time" mantra.

I hope this invokes some thoughts and ideas for you and makes you look into the options so you can continue to serve clients at higher levels.

In this episode, Austin will discuss how CompanyCam software generated $600 in revenue for the company within the first week of using it.  Utilizing the software more than 10x the investment of the monthly payment.  

Software's can be a burden on a company if too many are being used.  They can also be a massive revenue booster if you use them the right way.  This is one example of how using a software can generate thousands of dollars within a month of using it.  It unlocks a door in your mind.  It allows you to serve your clients at higher levels.  It can change your business forever.

I didn't buy CompanyCam the first time I heard of them. I waited.  I had to think of systems and processes that I would utilize the application for, and, I had to see how it would generate money.

Well...It did not disappoint.  

I am super excited to be using this software this year just based on the first initial results.  I will keep you posted throughout the year as to how much money CompanyCam makes us this year.

In today's episode, Austin will be interviewing and discussing plant health care, lawn care, and the green industry with Gary Eichen from SavATree.

Gary has an extensive back ground in the plant health care and lawn care world with over 36 years of experience in the industry.  He is a wealth of knowledge and has a very practical approach to both plant health care and lawn care.

I first met Gary at a class he was teaching for the MGIA (Michigan Green Industry Association) back in 2020.  He had a way of teaching that would pull you in if you were willing to learn.

He is now a mentor of mine as I am pursuing my teaching career within the MGIA as well.

I know you will get some immense value out of this podcast.

Never stop learning.
