December 11-12, 2024
Dayton, Ohio
Give us 24 hours. We’ll give you your best year yet.
Our GLC Field Trips bring owners and their teams onsite to Grunder Landscaping Co. headquarters in Dayton, Ohio, which founder and CEO Marty Grunder has led to become one of the most successful companies of its kind in the Midwest. In this event, you'll tour GLC's office, shop, and grounds, and see the ins and outs of how they use Aspire as a competitive advantage.
Not only will you learn from the Grunder Landscaping team, but you will also learn from the Aspire team of educators and implementers as well. We are purposely limiting attendance for this event to guarantee you get the one-on-one attention you need. This event is for current Aspire-users only, if you do not currently run Aspire but are thinking about switching, we recommend you register for our Grunder Landscaping Field Trips instead.
Presented in partnership with Aspire Software.
““What I liked best about the GLC Field Trip was how open Marty and his team were about their company—the issues, the mistakes, and the successes. It was eye-opening to see the amount of organization that goes into their operation.”
“Seeing Grunder Landscaping in action has really helped me realize what’s possible and what it will take to transform The Flower Guys into my market’s premier landscape company.
Seeing Is Believing
Our Field Trips begin with an afternoon tour of Grunder Landscaping Co. and a dinner with the group so you can get to know Marty and the other attendees and have some fun, too. The next day we’ll spend at GLC, where Seth Pflum, president and Chief Operating Officer, will lead you through presentations and in-depth discussions on the keys to business success while using Aspire:
-
Performance improvement
- Optimizing how a company uses Aspire
-
Operations, including scheduling, quality control, and equipment maintenance
-
Marketing and communications
-
Sales, from training to tracking
-
Client satisfaction
The Focus Is You
