We’ll Keep You Sharp
One lesson we’ve learned over the years at Grunder Landscaping Co. is just how much poor communication can get in the way of great performance.
No matter how much energy and effort you devote to installing and maintaining landscapes, if your team members aren’t communicating with each other and with your clients, you’re going to have problems.
As we all know, most everyone in our industry is struggling with finding and keeping good workers. Yet when our executive coaches Jim Cali and Jason New, who facilitate several of our ACE Peer Groups, ask owners how much time a week their spending on solving their labor problems, they almost always hear the same answer: “Well, a couple hours, but that’s because I have so many other things to do!”
Now, as an owner of a landscaping company myself, I can completely relate to that, but I also know that if you don’t make confronting your greatest challenge a priority, you’ll never get past it and your business won’t thrive.
As we all know, our prospects and clients have a lot of landscaping companies to choose from—some 505,643 to be exact, according to the most recent IBISWorld Report on the state of our industry in the US. So how do you distinguish yourself from so many competitors? How do you stand out in a sea of sameness?
The Grow Group team is busy making its way to Denver to ensure we’ve got every last duck in a row before GROW! 2019 kicks off Wednesday afternoon. But if you aren’t able to join us, don’t despair—you can follow along on social media, where we’ll be sharing out tactics, insights, photos, and videos from the conference all week long.
