Got any contracts up my way or just south?

**vctree** · 11-02-2006, 06:59 AM

Yes, we have allot of contracts up that way. We do 90% commercial, the residential we do is typically in the communities we have contracts in. I shy away from alot of the res quotes people request.
I believe the tree industry needs to help itself from within, we should be networking amoungst ourselves to keep the business we are in stay in focus and protect itself from hacks. I love refering work to proffesionals in the area. If interested, and looking for more work, send me a pm with your numbers and I would be more than happy to send the res work we don't do to you. At that point it will be up to you to get the job and do it. I'm only doing the jobs inside our communities, I won't refer just junk work.
I will be attending the TCIA next week. I know that allot of guys would love the oppurtunity to go but just can't bail on that much of their work week. So, with that said, I would be more that happy to pick up any info available that anyone may need. As long as you are in the area. I also have alot of safety info available to me as well as some pretty impressive formulas when it comes to pricing that I would be open to share with anyone interested. Hell, lets start a local networking group and get together for coffee and discuss what works and what doesn't.
I recently read a statistic that just came out the there is a 1 in 3000 chance of dieing in the business we are in. We can change that number by helping each other out whenever possible. We can also change the portion of the publics impression of tree workers. There is safety in numbers.
