What happens here

The video opens with the creator introducing the central theme: how to get paid for landscaping and lawncare proposals. He highlights three key areas he will cover: the method of getting paid, identifying which jobs warrant a paid proposal, and the criteria for writing a proposal valuable enough to justify a fee. He explains that even if he doesn't undertake a job, providing a paid estimate serves to educate the client and offers them a detailed plan they can use to hire another contractor, thereby protecting the client.

Goal: Understand the concept and benefits of paid landscaping proposals

can you get paid to do estimates the answer to that is yes you can get paid to do estimates there's a time and a place and I'm going to try to teach you how to get paid just to do an estimate not to do the job just to go out to a person's house and give them the numbers now it's going to feel a little unnatural and it's going to feel a little ballsy the first time you ask to get paid to do a proposal but once you do it once you get it down you'll be able to do it time and time again and you're going to know when it applies today is a great example I'm going out to look at four jobs two of those jobs are paying me $200 just to come out to their site just to give them an estimate now I want to clarify how I got them to do that and why two out of the four jobs are paying me and not all four jobs so the first thing is the two jobs that are paying me to come out and do the estimate are two jobs that I don't want plain and simple because I don't want those jobs I don't care if I go out to do an estimate for them or if I don't do an estimate for them you will not take the risk of asking to get paid to do the proposal on a job you want hence two of the four of the out of the four jobs only two I'm asking to get paid on the other two I really want those jobs and I'm not going to ask them to pay me to come out because there's always a risk there is always a risk that they're going to turn you down when you ask to get paid now let's talk about the two that I am getting paid to do um one of the jobs is really far away that's why I don't want it and I want to make sure that I'm compensated for my drive time I don't feel like spinning my wheels driving all the way out there to find out that they don't want to do it the $200 they're paying me is going to pay me for my drive time pay me for my proposal and there's something else that I need you to remember the way that you're going to ask to get paid you've got to be extremely professional when you go out there and you have to represent yourself as the expert in the industry without a doubt one of the two that I'm going to go out and do is an attorney
