make it personable to my business just like you guys can now do because this is an editable version of the same form we gave away last year so without further ado let's check it out [Music] alright guys so if you're new to the channel I'm all about helping you guys grow and more successful lawn care landscaping business and how I do that is by sometimes giving away free stuff that you guys can download to implement into your business a lot of you guys have seen our lawn care postcard we just did a video on that about a week ago maybe two weeks ago I'll make sure to link that at the end if you guys want to check this out but in terms of marketing and growing the business this is the freeform that I'm gonna make available to you guys all you gotta do is go to the launch premier Academy com scroll all the way to the bottom punch in your little your name and your email and you can download this form for free I'm giving this away to the lunker community just as a resource to help you guys out to help you grow your business I wish I had something like this about ten years ago when I was starting my lawn and landscape business now here's the deal before you just rush off the video to go download the form this is not a silver bullet okay there is a little bit of a system here that I want to explain to you guys for just the next minute or two so you can understand how to use this form in the rest of your system to help you guys grow your business as you go into the 2020 season now I'll be honest with you guys I think like 2,000 of you downloaded this form last spring which was just absolutely crazy I had just made my launch premiere academy.com website which allows me to keep in touch with you guys just you know have an email subscription list if you will so many of you guys have really jumped on that and appreciated it and here's the deal two thousand plus of you downloaded the forum but a lot of you guys also wanted to have a DES table well at the time my own forum was just a PDF so you get what you get right but a lot of you guys took the same template made your own so on and so forth and made this for your own business which is really cool well I heard a lot of you guys that wanted an editable downloadable version so here you go it should be a Word document now when you open up in Word you're still gonna have to modify some things naturally so it's not just an instant download instant plug-and-play but that's why I wanted to publish this video now to give you guys a week or two to implement this and clean it up and to make it your own as you guys implement this into your business as we go into spring so not to make this video any lengthier than it needs to be what is this forum about and how does this help me grow my lawn and landscape business well a lot of you guys have watched this video for two or three years now that I've been giving this forum away or sharing this resource that I've included in my own business and so here's the deal a couple years ago I was noticing that every time we go into spring it was almost a like a crapshoot it was almost a guessing game about who's signing up who wants certain services how much revenue are we really gonna make and my calendar wasn't really booked going into the season it was kind of just a crapshoot like I said it was a guesswork are we gonna make 50 grand in revenue 150 grand in revenue some of you guys two three four hundred grand in revenue we just never really knew where we stood with all of our customers with what kind of services they're going to want for the upcoming season so I said I had to slow down the speed up and kind of backtrack a little bit and say well how do I start to get an inquiry or a pulse on my clients and what they're looking for how do I know somebody wants mulch this year how do I know somebody who wants landscaping how do I know somebody wants fertilizer well if you're large national company you have confirmation phone call season that's usually in January okay well good for those guys I don't have people on staff in a call center or in a boiler room to make all those phone calls right something I learned way back in the day working at TruGreen well instead from my business this is what we use we use a snail mail this is an old-school just mailed this out to our customer we usually send it out the first week of February which is what we're gonna be doing and we're gonna send this out to all of our customers in entire day the idea of this form is to capture interest and see what folks are looking for for the upcoming season now really simply I'll go through the form which it takes 10 seconds but folks have a way to update all their contact information which you run a business it's actually really critical you have everybody's up-to-date milling address their phone number their email people move people you know over four or five months of winter they might move and sell the house you don't even know again you're about to go cut their grass you think for the upcoming season and collect $1500 of revenue but you know just like you did last year but the reality is they don't even live there anymore this form already solves knowing that problem in February first when you mill this out and you get it back versus you know walking to the season April May June thinking that you're gonna just sign that customer up and you're good to go again it was a way to just clear out the clutter and make sure I really knew what I was walking into for the upcoming season so everybody's contact info is really critical now here's the deal on the bottom it's all the different services we're going to be offering that upcoming season they have little checkbox systems I got away with what they did last year the extra square and now it's just a single square where they can just check off what they want for the upcoming season now a big thing like I said a lot of you guys wanted this editable well some of you didn't offer mulch some of you guys didn't offer fertilization some of you didn't offer spring fall cleanups and that's totally cool so now if you guys see different services on the bottom that you don't want to include part of this form for your business you guys can remove those and just clear up the space or add something different maybe you want to add weed pulling or something like that or flower install totally up to you now here's the deal some of the services like mulch install and fertilizer you're still gonna have to estimate and you know get some pricing together so it says please call for estimate but a weekly mowing price or an aeration you should be able to add a glance or even just on a good mapping software be able to price those over the forum or over the phone if you will when I send this whole thing out it comes in snail mail and a number 10 envelope and inside is a number nine return envelope right so it's a system to get all this information back we don't pre stamp or anything like that they can spend their forty-nine cents whatever it is right now here's the deal these go out to all of our residential clients now commercial we do send out a commercial contract form I made one of those available for you guys it's like 20 bucks I'm not giving that one away for free cuz it's kind of meaty it's got some really good language so if you guys want a commercial lawn care contract while you're at launch preneurcast com getting this form for free hey support the channel support launch premiere academy support your own business buy the other lawn care maintenance contract for 20 bucks it's a steal like I didn't have a contract ten years ago I wish somebody would have made something like that available right so all of our commercial accounts they get a actual contract it's pretty much the same thing very similar by Nature we're gonna attach that to the email we send to those as a proposal we get that back same thing we can book our calendar right that's commercial whole nother video for a whole other time I'm gonna do some other videos like that in the next two three weeks residential coming back we get about a hundred of these back in the middle well really it's about eighty percent right eight out of ten people send these back by the end of March usually and what I do is now I can make a whole master file I you just use an Excel spreadsheet on my computer and then I just start booking my calendar right so if I get obviously everybody's who's probably gonna get this is gonna sign up for lawn care because I'm a lawn maintenance company and we get ATP no people sign back up I can start making my days my routes and kind of figure out what we're gonna be doing to book our calendar right when I get you know fifteen or eighteen or twenty different folks that check off the mulch box now I can start Clem hey what colors what how much where do you want service so on and so forth I can start getting all those mulch pricings and estimates together in March instead of trying to have those conversations in April or May and just when it's already busy while not doing anything and you know early February in March I can start doing all those estimates now as you guys would imagine we get all these forms back we get all of our aerations all of our mulch all of our flowers all of our weed pulling whatever services you guys offer and now we can start filling in our calendar for the whole six months in advance and as an example we got fall aerations fall pruning and we got fall cleanups right in this summer time for example in the past what I don't let me know if you guys have ever been in this situation in the past I'd be going in the fall going man I have no revenue in the books I don't know who wants to fall cleanup hopefully we can pay our bills now when I send this form out people already pre scheduled their fall aerations their fall over seating their fall cutbacks and pruning and their fall cleanups now I go into fall with 20 30 grand of revenue on the books versus playing defense back in the day I didn't know what I was doing right I didn't know what we were gonna be making hopefully this makes some sense hopefully this helps you guys out if you guys want to get this form like I said earlier go to launch / new Academy com scroll all the way to the bottom you can plug it in it's not a weight set start spamming you guys with a bunch of emails we send out like a monthly newsletter just to keep in touch with out but here's the deal this right here was a game-changer for my business if you guys are trying to get organized with your lawn care business your long career season this is something that might aid you guys so let me know you guys like free resources like this is this helpful I really sincerely just want to help you guys grow out more successful business this is something that changed my business about three years ago and it's been just I don't see a silver bullet but it's been a huge focal point and a cornerstone to my business as we go into the season having an inquiry on the upcoming season so I know what we're gonna be doing for revenue up here like I said everything in bold you guys can change out I need the language you guys can change out the logo obviously you can change out your business name anything that's in bold you can change out likes it all these different squares if there's different services you guys offer you can change out maybe you don't offer fertilize you know take it out put weed control in or something like that and you guys can add that instead alright guys sorry for the raspy voice I'm still getting over this sickness this head cold that I had this last week I wanted to get this form out to you guys this last week of January here so you guys could start downloading it plugging in your own information and then get all these sent out snail mail the first or second week of February and start getting these all back so you guys can start growing your company and playing offense in the spring so if this video helped you guys out if this forum helped you guys out do me a big favor shoot the video a big thumbs up feel

other videos here about our postcards and marketing if you guys are trying to figure out that stuff as we go into spring as well so alright guys that's it thanks so much for watching you guys have a good one
