Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone while a zero-turn mower or leaf blower is running in the background.
!Failing to ask for the property address during the first 30 seconds of the call.
!Giving a 'flat rate' quote over the phone without seeing the property's slope or gate width.
!Not mentioning that debris removal or 'hauling away' costs extra for cleanups.
!Letting the phone go to a generic voicemail that doesn't state your current availability.
