How many customer calls and texts start with:
“Hey, just checking in…”
 
That is often a communication problem, not a customer problem.
 
In this episode, Scott walks through the customer communication timeline every landscaping company should have—from the first inquiry through the completed job.
 
The goal is not to communicate constantly. It is to give customers the right information before they have to ask for it.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The two questions every customer update should answer
What customers need to hear after requesting an estimate
How to communicate between proposal approval and the job start
What to send customers before your crew arrives
How to handle delays without creating unnecessary frustration
How to build a simple communication timeline for your company
Your Homework
Map every major step from a new lead to a completed job.
At each step, ask:
What does the customer need to know?
Are we telling them?
Who is responsible for telling them?
Then fix the three biggest communication gaps first.
