How to Go from lawn Care into other Companies

What happens here

Upon returning home, Eric started a lawn care business. Initially, he made 'uncomfortable phone calls' to people he knew and businesses, offering his mowing services. He secured his first significant contract with the school he used to attend, eventually earning their snow removal contract two years later after proving his reliability and service quality. This marked the beginning of building a well-established lawn care business over 3-4 years.

Goal: Establish a reputable and profitable lawn care business.

Tools and materials

  • Phone — Making initial contact with potential clients
