    Anybody sell PHC packages

    We almost exclusively do packages. Most customers get a program with 3-4 stops (min of 3, up to 4) where we will spray anything necessary on those visits as part of the cost. Injections are sold separately. Usually, the program is bid out for the entire property (cultivated areas), but sometimes...

    salesmen commission scale

    We pay a salary plus commission, but we're not implementing a cap on that so that your salary plus commission cannot exceed 20% of your gross sales. Commission is paid when your customers pay. You forfeit your commission if your bid is below cost.

    Super RG50 operator presence device?

    I assume it didn't die if you had the wheel stopped, right?

    Green Teeth Worth the investment?

    Using Green Teeth voids the manufacturer's warranty? The word "warranty" doesn't appear on their website anywhere. link

    Pay for sales reps.

    5% of gross sales. 7% of PHC gross sales. Base starting salary for a salesperson with 2-5 years experience is $32,000. You're expected to start selling $100,000 and go up from there. =)

    Normal Nutrient Levels in Oaks

    I’m wondering if you’re familiar with any tables or charts of normal nutrient levels in oaks. I have a tissue sample analysis of a chlorotic oak, and I’m curious to know whether the results I’m looking at (in ppm) are within the normal range or not. I was able to find a write-up for pecan trees...

    And ISA will be in Hawaii next summer. I'll be there for the conference and a wedding afterwards (an arborist wedding, of course).

    City Trees and Customer Complaints

    I thought it was New York that has a nut in every car! :eek: Enforcement would help in Milwaukee too.

    Merit vs Touchstone vs ImidiPRO

    Well Bayer certainly didn't seem that knowledgeable when I talked to them two weeks ago. In fact, the Bayer rep didn't really know anything about Merit. The people at Bayer that know a lot about Merit are in their customer service department (particularly the research people), but they have...

    Merit vs Touchstone vs ImidiPRO

    Yeah, but Xytect isn't available yet... I'll definitely give it a shot. Well, not having heard from anyone, I bought a mini-drum of Quali-Pro's imidacloprid for far less than the other generics and will be using that.

    compressor for air spade

    Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for renting if you haven't been doing this already for quite a while. Just renting one for the first 25 jobs will give you an idea of what you want when you do buy one.

    Brits talkin about Brit stuff

    I'm leaving Milwaukee on Saturday to help my girlfriend move to the University of Durham. Anyone want to meet up with me somewhere in the UK? We're looking for places to check out, cheap hostels and free pillows. I've got two weeks, about half of it in Durham. Did I mention that I can haul...

    Merit vs Touchstone vs ImidiPRO

    Has anyone used the generics since Bayer's imidacloprid patent expired? Thoughts on quality or effectiveness?

    How to hire a good employee

    Oh yeah, I'll go after your reputation if you're being a fool. It's the whole point of it... Looks like nothing has changed.

    How to hire a good employee

    We sub a climber out for a handful of jobs, but it's our ground crew and equipment for everything. Unless the climber wants to use their own rigging gear. It's the same old, same old for every size company. You have to have standardized hiring procedures to be taken seriously. On Ekka's...

    Profit Margin

    Thanks to our government for that. When you consider taxes, a lot of poor financial decisions turn good.
