Lawn Care Contract
Before we discuss lawn care contracts, please understand I am not an attorney, my advice should not be considered
as legal advice.
I frequently get asked if having a lawn care contract is important, and my response is always the same..."it depends". If your
goal is to eventually sell your lawn business, then getting your customer to sign a lawn care contract becomes a little more important.
But I'm still not convinced they are neccessary.
The purpose of a lawn care contract is to "protect" both parties involved. Most people who start a lawn business believe the
sole purpose of a lawn care contract is to protect their business. They tend to forget that the lawn care contract also
exists to protect their client.
The first thing many lawn company owners tell prospects is that they will be required to sign a lawn care contract. I can't
think of anything else that will scare off a prospect quicker. Put yourself in the prospects shoes...when a prospect hears
they will have to sign a contract they hear, "I'll be forced to use your lawn company even if you provide horrible service."
I'm a firm believer in using a lawn care contract as a selling point for your lawn business. Here are a fews things I did to help convince prospects
to use my lawn company.
 Never mention your lawn care contact initially. - You
don't want prospects to fear using your lawn business because of your lawn care contract. Once you have won the prospect over
then mention your lawn care contract.
Put the power in their hands. - Give your prospects the power
and to cancel your lawn care contract at any time they see fit.
Sell with your lawn care contract. - Tell your prospect that if
they are not 100% satisfied then you don't want their business.
With careful consideration you can make your lawn care contract a valuable part of your lawn marketing.
