www.gopherforum.com – Have you spent much time thinking about your lawn care customer sales funnel? Many newer lawn care businesses dont think about this so I thought it would be a good idea to bring it to their attention. What is a sales funnel? Well think of it as a big scoop. You want to go out there and scoop up as many potential customers as you can when you broadcast your marketing message. Then you want to reel them in step by step. You want to offer something and then get something from the potential customer. Then offer a little something more and then get something more from them. You keep this process going in your sales funnel until you have the customer signed up for services. Ultimately you want to take the customer from step A to step Z, one step at a time. A lot of newer lawn care businesses dont understand this and they tend to rush the sale with the end result of losing it. They want to take the potential customer from step A to step Z all in one step. So how do you take the potential customer in step by step. Say for instance first off in your advertising, you say call my phone number 24 hours a day and listen to my voice recorded message on the 7 secret steps every homeowner needs to know to obtain a full and lush green lawn. What this then allows the potential customer to do is call your number knowing full well you wont pick up the phone.

Lawn care packages help you sell more – GopherHaul 55 Lawn Care Customer Show
www.gopherforum.com – We all like to know what lawn care marketing works and what doesnt. By reading such stories on the topic, we hope to cut out those lawn care marketing ideas that are ineffective. What amazes me about all the stories we see on the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum, is how one theme seems to ring true time and time again. Lets take a look at some marketing ideas a lawn care business owner shared with us. He wrote As far as what has worked or hasnt in gaining new lawn care customers 1. Leaving flyers on cars at Home Depot – hasnt worked. 2. Leaving flyers at businesss on Sunday, when they are closed – no. 3. Direct contact with businesss when they are open – not so much. 4. Newspaper ads in the local paper alongside the other bazillion lawncare companys out there doing the same thing – nope ( and Im $40.00 poorer ). 5. E-mailing local Real Estate Agents with my company info – a waste of time. 6. Providing excellent service and going the extra mile for existing customers and getting referrals from them – JACKPOT !
