Are You Missing Opportunities To Make Your Business More Profitable?

Judging by discussions on various social media platforms, there are a lot of very worried people in the landscape industry right now. Folks are concerned about low numbers of enquiries and an even lower conversion rate.   I've even seen a couple of posts from people who have decided to leave the industry all together.  That's sad.  All of that talent and experience will be lost to the landscape sector - and what is there to encourage newcomers to join this fabulous profession.

So this week's blog aims to inject a little hope into the hearts of industry colleagues.  Yes, the UK economy isn't looking pretty right now, but I believe that us landscapers are a resiliant crew.  We have a remarkable skills set and we're all of us adept at problem solving.  So why not sit back and have a think about how we can adapt to the current economic crisis?

I can thoroughly recommend the services of Neville Stein to help anyone to explore every possibility for improving business health.  From cutting out unnecessary expenses to thinking of ways to use resources in different ways.

Neville's contact details are at the end of this blog - please have a read and get in touch with him if you think he can help you.

"Hi Billy, that's a really good idea, even if the contracts are a mix of 'subsciption' and ad-hoc, it at least covers the expense in a worst case scenario. "

"My 130T arrived and was tested today.   It certainly runs fast...the high motor noise is slightly irritating compared to the rumble of the 130R though.  I've got used to working without ear defenders.    Planet tool owe you a finders fee."
