The spirit to set out and try that you guys have is awesome.

I really like the way all of you are working diligently to take care of customers and make new relationships with new ones. A few of Austin’s videos caught my attention and now I am here to learn internet marketing and the techy sales software that is out there to track your lead and sales data. Our family works in real estate investment. Buying, hold the land, some of it building houses on, some of it resell without building. In the past we have hired forestry mulchers. I am also here to get some advise on deciding whether adding forestry mulching as a service makes sense before we jump in. It does fit with what we do now in the sense that the land management could be mostly or all in house. We don’t hire enough forestry mulching on our own properties to justify a mulching head although we do own a 333g high flow machine so adding a head could be halfway justified. We are in Knoxville TN, and here there a quit a few land clearing/excavation services. A 2 of those specialize in forestry mulching and seem to have a decent website and may run some adds, but it seems the rely mostly on Google local service searches. There are a lot of what looks like owner operators who have smaller machines some are newer looking and some not. These guys seem to only put up FB Marketplace adds against Marketplace policy. The adds will read forestry mulcher $200 or something like that. My question biggest question is that even though there a lot of guys with a skid steer and mulching head, who don’t seem to have a sustainable marketing strategy with a good constant source of lead generation or quick response times when called, is it possible to simple out market them and acquire 15 -20 full days a month worth of jobs? I am not sure they are even thinking of this or maybe just have the mind set of “I just want to run the mulcher.” I’m mean, I get it, it is a fun thing to do and very therapeutic in some ways. Definitely easier to just think about one thing. I would really like to hear anyone who has some thoughts on this. Especially, someone who started a land clearing/mulching business in an area where there are plenty of owner operator mulchers who mostly rely on some business cards and some contractors and really cheap prices to keep them busy, which could be keeping them from growing and making it into a sustainable business for years to come without wearing out their machine and not having much money saved. Thank you upfront for any feedback back. God bless you guys in the name of our Lord Jesus. He is big enough to bless us all.
