Scaling to $10MM & Beyond: Staff Accountability Secrets for Rapid Growth Landscapers

You’re a contractor — and it’s balls-to-the-wall busy season. If your company’s at a size where you can’t be on-site all the time…problems creep in. First, deadlines get missed. Your staff lacks focus. Then, quality starts to dip, leaving you to deal with mistakes that shouldn’t have happened. Petty finger-pointing becomes an ongoing issue…and you bleed profits because of all the inefficiency.

The bad news: Your vision of being the cool, calm leader of a high-performing team feels more like a fantasy…

The good news:  Improving accountability with your team is surprisingly easy to fix.

The solution for smart landscapers is to rethink your system for holding people accountable.  In this talk, Benji will share: How highly effective leaders get their staff to understand what’s expected of them.  How to remove “that’s not my job” from your team’s vocabulary. (No more ugly surprises.🤦‍♂️)  A $10MM contractor’s weekly management ritual that helps them beat targets WHILE strengthening relationships with customers, trade partners, and staff.  PLUS: Get Breakthrough Academy’s Goal Setting & Review Tool. This helps you cross the chasm between thinking about a company goal and seeing your staff complete it.  If you’re struggling to hold your staff accountable during the summer rush, you aren’t alone.  It’s a problem that every growing contractor eventually faces.

Winning on Paper. Losing in the Field.

The hardscape world has seen ridiculous growth over the last five years and while thousands of businesses were able to surf the wave of demand created by the pandemic, most are, sadly, not prepared to take the next step forward. It’s a shame because another wave of opportunity is coming. There are four very noticeable trends that have taken shape and if we are not taking a good hard look at what they mean – both in terms of challenges AND opportunities – then, we are selling ourselves and our futures short. The surging demand for pools and outdoor kitchens cannot be ignored, and there are a few keys that are consistently leading to contractors having the winning bid. But once the shovels hit the dirt, too many teams are leaving money on the table through lack of proper planning, preparation or people.  This talk will explore these opportunities as well as highlight some of the all-too-common pitfalls that are taking place every day citing real-world examples.
