[QUOTE="mckeetree, post: 4285778, member: 15248"] I had an interesting conversation with an Austin, Texas tree service owner the other day about how the percentage of people just looking for cheap and cheap alone has tripled in the last 20 years. We both had the same number in mind...if you take PHC/diagnosis/treatment out of the equation and just count the callers that want pruning and or removal the number would be around 45% or almost half. Probably 15% twenty years ago. Of course that's just in our necks of the woods. When I say only looking for cheap I mean price is the ONLY factor they consider when hiring someone to do the job. They don't want to hear about references, insurance, certs, degrees, all the equipment you have or anything else. They just want to hear cheap. [/QUOTE]
