Get Your Team Ready for a Busy Spring
In this tight labor market, you can’t afford to skimp on employee education. Use the off-season to invest in your team. You’ll enjoy increased productivity, reduced errors and higher retention all year.

Make the most of winter training by:

Tracking where you need “better ways”. Review your call-backs, time-wasters and communication breakdowns. Address these proactively in your training meetings.

Getting hands-on. Practical training involves not just listening or watching, but also doing. A good trainer can make this happen, even indoors.

Making it fun. Use contests, teamwork and discussion to keep participants engaged. Use real-world examples in problem-solving challenges.

Developing your “seconds in command”. Prepare your organization for growth and free up your time as owner by growing the skills and capabilities of your middle managers and crew leaders.
 
Using all of the resources available. Hands on classes, insightful videos and on-line seminars provide knowledge that is easy to absorb and understand. Ask us for free and low-cost options.

Pro-Packs Make It Easy to Sell, Price and Install Professional Lighting
Your customers want landscape lighting, they just forget to ask! National consumer studies show homeowners are more familiar with the benefits of outdoor lighting than ever before. They want it in their new landscapes. They will buy it when a professional proposes it as part of their overall project.

Planning and pricing landscape lighting installations just got a whole lot easier. Vista's new Pro Pack includes everything needed for a basic project, from lights to lamps to transformer - at a lower price than purchasing each item separately. And, it's easy to expand a customer's ProPack system with additional fixtures as needed.

Pro-Packs make it easy to quote lighting on every project. Ask us for details.

Adding Drainage Boosts Customer Satisfaction & Your Profits
An effective drainage system is a profitable part of any project that, if overlooked, can result in costly damage to a property, creating unsatisfied customers and fewer referrals. By installing a drainage system with every project, you have the opportunity to grow business while improving your reputation.

Most irrigation contractors already have the right tools and staff to add drainage jobs to their services. A small drainage job such as a catch basin could net profits of $400 or more.

National consumer research indicates that almost every home has some type of drainage problem that can be fixed easily with drainage products. Research shows that 90% of contractor suggestions are accepted as work orders by homeowners - so simply by pointing out these issues to your clients, you can earn new business to solve them.

We can help you add drainage to your services by providing technical training, installation training and marketing materials. Ask us for details.
Time to Say Goodbye? Weeding Your Customer List
You had plenty of work in 2021.
 
And there were a couple of customers who drove you crazy with unreasonable demands and abusive behavior.  

It might be time to say "goodbye"? Which customers might need to go? How about these:
 
Never Pleased. These are typically customers with finicky preferences, odd-requests and expectations that you'll do lots of extras for free. They want 80% of your time, but contribute very little revenue.
Abusive. Don't allow customers to be mean, condescending and rude to your employees. It hurts morale. It's disrespectful. Draw a line and let them know you won't tolerate it. Your team will thank you!
Slow Pay. You deserve to be paid fairly and on-time. You shouldn't take on financial risks to take care of clients.  
Bad Ethics.  Avoid associating your company's reputation with customers who don't match your values. Clients who ask you to cheat, cut corners or break laws should be first to go.

Fill your list with great customers. There are plenty out there!
