Call‑backs quietly kill profit. You burn fuel driving back. You pull off another job. You lose momentum. All because you didn’t fix it while your machine was already sitting there. On last week’s OPS training call inside Accelerator, I shared the exact “5‑Star Question” we ask at the end of every single job to turn potential call‑backs into 5‑star reviews and referrals. If you run a skid steer, mulcher, or excavator and you’re sick of call‑backs and bad reviews, you can steal this script.. 🎥 Comment “5 STAR” and I’ll DM you the clip from the live training last Saturday. Inside the full training from last week, we also cover: - The exact review script to use on‑site - How to turn every finished job into 2–3 more jobs - How to create Proof Assets that build trust with your future customers before you ever show up That full Proof & Referrals engine is what we install with you inside OPS ACCELERATOR so you can stack profitable jobs instead of driving back to jobs for callbacks. If you already own a real machine and want to grow with a proven lead engine & simple system, you can apply to join OPS Accelerator here: 👉 CLICK HERE TO APPLY

Hello everyone. First post here. I’ve been following along for a few months and have learned a lot from this group. I started a land clearing company about 4.5 months ago. I’ve kept my head down, invested heavily in marketing, focused on customer service, and by my 5-month mark I’ll have closed a little over $300k in work. It’s gone better than I prayed for and feel extremely blessed with the opportunity. Right now it’s still just me. I’ve moved away from small mulching jobs and am taking on larger land clearing projects that involve grubbing, hauling, and subcontracting a horizontal grinder. I’m at the point where I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to scale. My biggest challenge is that the company I sub to grind is also one of the largest land clearing/logging companies in my area. They have multiple high-horsepower mulchers, stump grinders, excavators with grapple saws and shears, a CBI 6800 grinder, skidders, and are adding a feller buncher. They also have a dirt work division helping fund their growth. I’m not looking to become them overnight, but I do want to continue growing into larger commercial land clearing projects. For those of you who have successfully scaled, how did you compete against companies with significantly more equipment and capital? Did you stay focused on a niche, gradually build your fleet, partner with others, or take a different approach? If you were in my position today, what would you do over the next 3–5 years?

OK for those of you who have followed the template offered here by Austin and Jacob, you have probably reached the "I can't juggle this much anymore" phase. What is the first step? Jobber or something similar? If so, exactly HOW has it helped take some of the day to day time consuming parts of this business away? Yesterday while in the skid 8 hours I responded to 7 leads. All within 30 seconds of getting them. The META algorithm is now clicking on all cylinders and most of my leads are actually GOOD leads, which leads to another problem; How to visit this many sites to give quotes? I really only have Saturdays to do quotes and so far I have 11 visits this Saturday with 3 more days of leads to come in. So far, nobody has fallen through the cracks but I'm at the point that it could (will) happen. None of these are $20k jobs, mostly $1k -$2k jobs. Do I start weeding them out waiting for larger jobs? I can only do so many. It's just me. BTW, I am in my second month of this adventure. I'm in Central Florida and it's supposed to be saturated with mulching people. What I've gathered is that most of them are just waiting for jobs to come to them. Any and all help is appreciated. Just don't know what trigger to pull next.
