Focusing your lawn care business on property managers can be a fantastic way to grow quickly. Here’s why—and what to watch out for! 👇
Why Work with Property Managers?
✅ Fast Growth: If you contact all the property managers in your area, you’re bound to land jobs. Persistence pays off!
✅ Steady Work: Property managers handle multiple properties, meaning consistent opportunities to keep your schedule full.
✅ Marketing Opportunities: Drop a business card magnet with the property and another at reception. Fridges and filing cabinets are perfect spots to keep your name front and center for that next call.
What to Keep in Mind:
⚠️ Payment Delays: Larger property management companies can be slow with payments. Stay on top of invoices and don’t be afraid to politely follow up.
⚠️ Quick Turnaround Required: Most property managers want jobs done ASAP, often with tight deadlines. Equip yourself with reliable gear and a solid plan to handle the workload.
⚠️ Dependence on a Few Clients: Many property managers may lead to much of your work coming from a small group. While great for cash flow, it can make your business harder to sell later.
Pro Tip: Set clear expectations upfront. Let them know you’ll handle jobs promptly but expect timely payment in return. Most will agree this is fair.
By working smart and building strong relationships, you can create a thriving lawn care business working with property managers. 🌟
