How to win commercial lawn care jobs - GopherHaul 47 Lawn Care Business Tips Show

http://www.gopherforum.com - This is a very interesting topic. Lawn care business owners are always looking for ways to land commercial lawn care bids. But whats the best way to do it? There are many ways to go about getting close with property managers to win bids but there is nothing like hearing the inside scoop straight from a property manager himself. That is what we were lucky enough to hear in this discussion. A lawn care business owner had asked on the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum this, my question is how to get commercial properties? Everyone tells me I have to go to them, they wont come to me. Before we get into this I would like to tell you about my business.

I started my lawn care business four or five years ago with about four accounts my first season and second season I got up to about ten. Thats all I had for the next two seasons. So for this season I advertised with signs and that got me up to about twenty five accounts give or take. I now moved up from a 21 in push mower to a 36 in commercial walk behind. What my question is, is that I would like to expand into commercial businesses in my area because all Ive been doing is residential yards. Im wondering when to start looking for these commercial properties for next season and how to land them?

Great question and here is some insight shared with us from a property manager. He responded Hello, I am a property manager of 2 million sq ft. I was reading this and thought I would throw in a few thoughts.
