Just thought I would introduce and tell a little about my company. My company is Chad's Lawn Service located in Pataskala, OH. I have been in the lawn business part-time for the last three years and I am finally going to take the plunge this spring and go into it full-time.

I am expanding my business to include pesticide applications which I am very excited about. I have taken the core part of my test and have passed and waiting to take the turfgrass part. I will also have my bachelors degree in Business Administration in March. I am very excited about the new adventure.

Biggest concern is getting the clients, and being able to compete with the large number of competitors that are out there.

Have you thought of your unique selling position?
