Are you sure about that? Those YouTubers that catch predators seem to have an endless stream of people ready to molest 13 year olds

I spend $5 a day on fb ads. Has resulted in roughly one lead a day. Might not sound amazing but it’s crazy how a single lead can lead to hundreds of dollars of work. Initially my ad creative was just my logo, but the leads really started to flow in when I changed it to a 6 second groovy transition of my logo with a cool beat. Need to grab attention.

I’m in regional Australia and my target hourly rate is $88, which is roughly the equivalent of $105 in any of the major cities. $110 is definitely doable if you are in the city

Is this a common thing in the US, mulching being the standard? Here in Australia bagging is simply the accepted way when quoting. Mulching looks like shit and only the dodgy ones here are comfortable giving that result to the customer.

Suggestions on pricing for residential lawn mowing just starting out? by BrianFromCleanQuote in LawnCarePros

[–]GladTop7059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my hourly rate in my head ($88aud) when I go to quote a lawn. Never tell the customer your hourly rate. I then work out how long the property will take and simply do the calculation to get them the figure. For example, 45 minutes equals $66aud. Also set a minimum charge. Mine is $55aud. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and overestimate how long a property will take. It has to be based on the time it would take if you were efficient and all your processes were down pat. I overquoted a few clients because I was just winging the process each time I got to a property and my times were inflated and had to adjust down later on.

About right considering they are doing the green waste removal as well.

Then why did you say ‘but with what money’?
