How to Implement Basis Systems to Grow Your Landscaping Business - From Solo Operator

The Untrapped Podcast With Keith Kalfas

In this episode, Keith shares valuable insights for small business owners, particularly in the window cleaning industry. The discussion delves into overcoming anxieties associated with running a service business by implementing a thorough follow-up process similar to a 21-step system used by larger companies. Keith emphasizes the importance of pricing strategies, the 'one and done' method for task completion, and the benefits of using software like Jobber for systematization. Additionally, it highlights the need for small business owners to simplify their services, raise prices, and potentially hire employees and virtual receptionists to handle administrative tasks. Real-world examples, such as receiving tips and raising prices, are provided to illustrate these strategies.

"The moment your business changes and you wake up and it starts to become successful is when you realize that your business isn't your whole life and you stop stressing about your business and making it this big, stupid, and stressful thing."
