Default Hello from West Texas

I started my business back in April with 3 yards. As of today I have 4 commercial accounts and 22 residental customers. I just put in a bid for 3 apartment complexes. I found that Craigs list and service magic have really helped me get new customers. I hope to see more success from other companies out there good luck and God bless.

Lawn care business tips
Welcome to our forum!

WoW! You are really doing great!

I am sure many other new startups are wondering how the heck were you able to get that many customers so fast! What kind of marketing did you do to reach 22 customers?

Also it seems getting commercial accounts is a very big step for most small lawn care business owners. Do you have any advise as to how to go about bidding your first commercial properties and how did you find them?
