Just delt with the worst customer I’ve ever had. Wrote out an estimate for 2 men 16 hours. We were pulling honey suckle vines that had been left on a boxwood row about 200 ft for over 5 years. Then had to prune a lot of dead out of a fig tree. After me and my helper worked for 4.5 hours client came out and was telling me I wasn’t going to finsh today I could come back and I said ma’am we are already done with the box wood we are headed to the fig tree now there’s no way I don’t finish today. Well she then tells me that we agreed to weed another Shrub that was about 15ft high and 30ft in width. I said No ma’am I have the estimate you clicked Agree on right here this wasn’t quoted. I would have to raise the price $200 for that. Well she said she wasn’t going to pay that to stop what I was doing and she would pay me $300 for 4 hours of work when the job was for $1,200 I said that’s 75 and Hr for me not $75 per man like we agreed. So I packed up my Tools and left. Moral of this post is Always get a signed Contract on Top of the accepted Estimate. Some “Karen’s” will expect us to give them a premium service for little to nothing.

I have been testing this for a couple of weeks with my own business, and it works really well. It goes through your client list and asks for reviews. Automatically. Here's how it runs: ✅ One request a day. We want to keep the growth natural. ✅ When you get a review, it sleeps for 7 to 21 days (you decide), then starts again. ✅ If someone gets asked and doesn't leave one, they won't hear from it again for 90 to 180 days (you decide.) So your reviews keep growing in the background, and nobody gets annoyed. More reviews, more calls. Reviews are one of the biggest things that rank your Google Business Profile. I want a few beta testers before I roll it out wider. 👇 Join the $9 a month plan and mention the robot when you sign up. I'll set you up. I am only taking on three beta testers this week, so first in, first served.

Last month, Emma-Jane won our Premium Plan draw—scoring a free custom website build hosted for the life of her membership. All she had to do was send over her business name, coverage areas, services, and a few job photos. 🌐 Take a look: https://bloomingfantastic.co.nz/ 📍 Targeted for local SEO: Every page is written specifically for her area and services, making her the top result when locals in the Bay of Plenty Google lawn mowing. 💼 Built for real business: It’s hosted on her own domain, looks professional, and sends lead forms directly to her inbox. That means actual booked jobs, not just social media likes. Here are a few details worth knowing: 🎟️ Crazy good odds: Only four people were in last month's draw, giving Emma-Jane a 1-in-4 shot for just $9.
