I might be the only ding bat that didn't know this. But when running facebook ads make sure you check the actually lead center inside your Meta Business Page. Leads where getting routed through my messenger and that is where I assumed they were going. Someone would fill out the form my messenger would pop up with the lead and information. WRONG. Igo to my lead tab this morning and there were 6 leads sitting there that I did not get notification. My ads only showed 7 leads total but inside my actual lead center there were 13 leads. So just a heads up for some other.

Hi SKOOL Group! Just wanted to share the results from running my first on camera ad with Meta. As I mentioned before, I'm not the most tech savvy, so am unsure how to take the results as far as how they stand with industry standards or what you guys are typically seeing. The ad was ran in North-Central WV, which is more rural than other larger areas, so just wanted to share for if that is necessary for understanding reach potential. Also, let me know if there are any other metrics you guys would like for me to share for better understanding. Thanks for any and all help or advice you guys have! (Yes, I'll do without glasses next time 😂) Overall, I am running this at $50/day. There was a time when I had to shut the ad off for several days because so many leads were coming in at once, I needed time as a solo owner/op to get caught up. While many of the leads were "tire kickers", several converted to quotes/jobs, including two that were quite large. One lead was a 4 day job for $12,500 that has been completed with a happy customer, while another has placed a deposit to begin 6/15 when i return from vacation for $13,700. To summarize, work has been BUSY!!! Moving through jobs at a good pace, 275xe and Shearex are powering through, and feedback has been fabulous from customers. Full steam ahead from here!

I bought my first skid steer a cat 275 xps with a HM 316 Mulcher. I’ve been trying to find someone to do my own property for the last year. Everyone’s equipment was sub par (disk Mulcher) this lead me to believe there must be a gap in the market rather it’s businesses or education. I have 50 hours on the machine just doing my own property. Next step is a bigger truck, trailer, and fuel transfer tank. Any pointers on where to start from here is greatly appreciated. I have a Facebook page that I’ve launched, still need to finalize the LLC and insurance. Some pictures from my own property. I’m impressed with this machine so far.

Is anyone in here working in an over saturated market for forestry mulching? Our company has a high flow skid steer now and we hire forestry mulchers to clear the land we buy to resell. The market here in Knoxville TN is pretty saturated. Trying to decided if we should make the investment in a mulcher and add it to what we do now. It looks like most of the guys here don’t really have a good marketing strategy. Any thoughts? Any opinion is appreciated.

Hi everyone, has anyone else had difficulty getting general liability insurance for their forestry mulching business? The broker I've been working with is telling me that I keep being denied coverage because of the type of working I'm getting into and the combination of being a start up company, anyone have any suggestions on a route to take?
