HOW To Bid A COMMERCIAL Client! Breaking Down The Numbers!
Рет қаралды 165,370
Күн бұрынToday we're showing you guys exactly how we bid a commercial lawn care client and how we pick up commercial clients for the new season. This customer was a snow removal customer of ours but naturally we'd love to submit a bid and try to turn them into a lawn care customer!
If you guys are just starting a lawn care business or you are getting into commercial landscaping, hopefully this how-to style video helps you guys out. Whether you get commercial customers with a lawn care flyer or postcard, or any other form lawn care marketing, these account can be hyper-profitable and a great asset to your business.
We share with you guys how we bid and price out the 7 or 8 common categories when bidding a commercial site. One that I left out was shrub pruning, since we usually price that separately with its own bid and proposal.
If you guys want to see the form we use to submit the bid, you can check it out here: bit.ly/3c4WVJi
Once we compile this whole bid, what we do is email it to the client and upon receiving a signed copy, we're good to go. We usually invoice commercial work end of month with net 30, just incase you guys want a few suggestions of the wrap up process of the work.
Hope you guys enjoyed this one, I tried to pack a bunch of FAQ's and tips into it at the end! Good luck out there as you guys grow your business this spring!

I’m sure that’s not always what happens, but it did in this case. Businesses don’t always want the cheapest quote!

This was an older complex with about 60% of it occupied; they were always late to pay and claimed that they didn’t have the money. I put up with that for two years, as I was just starting my business. No shrubs to trim and about 3 hours of labor for 175.00, but it was every two weeks and mostly crab grass. It's totally my fault for my misery, I should have walked away way sooner.

@@dgoodinground not entirely correct. Price fixing is a result of the govt taking control and fixing prices, this occurs in communism. and after a while, once socialism starts to fail, you have 2 options, price fix, or go free market. You are referring to collusion. Active collusion is absolutely illegal, active which means all the barbers in the city activity get together and raise there prices together. This is absolutely illegal, plenty of people are in jail because of convicted of collusion.

I run a web design company here in FL and while the industries are completely different, the business skills and the "get paid for the little stuff" principals are critical. It's one of the main reasons small businesses go out of business. Don't be afraid to charge what you're worth. If guys/gals are in business, they need to make sure that the business gets paid as well as the owner-operator.

the NUMBER ONE question I have is, Who do you have to talk to in order to get a commercial client? big businesses are more of an entity than a single person, and they never seem to know who handles their landscape maintenance. Also you brought up a good point about working together for our prices. There really is enough out there for everyone, so cutting prices kind of hurts us all. Another thing I've noticed is when I get a new client who just dropped their service and switched to me, they're not looking for a lower price. They're willing to pay the same or even more for someone to really take care of their needs.

Agree with J and B Lawn Care below regarding avoiding or at least being cautious about signing on with Big Box companies. They almost all seem to hire separate Property Management companies and my experience has been only fair to really terrible with these third-party folks. In one case, I was hired by a guy over the phone for snow & ice management at a VERY large comm-tech company (whose name begins with "V") in my area. I stopped service after they stalled on a $2,000 invoice, and of course they paid up real quick and insisted I resume service. Then they ran up $10k and after chasing everyone in their accounting dept, they directed me to a Property Mgt company in Georgia. Turns out the guy who initially signed my contract was a Virginia SUBCONTRACTOR of the Georgia Property Mgt company, and nobody could tell me how to get ahold of this sub or his company. I persisted for 3 months and got all but $487 of my money. Plus I reported the whole thing to the State Attorney Generals of my state, Georgia, and Virginia (no response, of course). Moral of the story: Make them sign YOUR contract, or carefully read their contract, or do what I now do: refuse work for Property Management companies unless they are local. Oh, and way back at the start of the whole thing -- I insisted that guy on the phone sign MY contract.

Love your honesty. Many try to act bigger than they really are, you keep it real. A year or two i think both us will be able to do bigger business sites if we'd like. To me it's more of a head ache. And yea sir i average 120 a hr for my crew To make money like I like. We need to do 3 residential lawns an hr with one truck and 3 guys. So my numbers are rite on with you bud, give or take obviously. Thanks brother. You rock bud!!! Ha lol

The big money doesn't have to come from big businesses. Think of residential clients as well for creating a large profit margin. Targeting the right residential customer will often times lead to more loyalty (because those bigger companies often are price shopping and will fire you when someone cheaper comes around regardless of how satisfied they were with your service) and the less client turn over we have the better because it costs money to get new clients. Bigger jobs also take a lot of time in your day limiting you from taking on new customers which isnt a big deal until that business fires you and you had 30% of your workload into that job and you have to scramble to find a whole lot of work to keep your price the same because as use rates on equipment go down, the cost goes up. So hopefully those other 70% of clients don't mind a price increase or you can just eat the lost profit margin. Having those high quality residential clients also allow for a lot of opportunities for diversification into leaf removal, aeration, power seeding, landscaping and more with a wider range of clients to do this higher profit margin work for. Just a thought!

Spot on !! I am glad to see this video. It really helps the industry standards. Most lowballs are just under educated and do not know what it cost to run a business. Thanks for sharing.
