Hi all! My names Darrell. My business partner and I happened to stumble across this website looking for ways to improve our Tree Service Business. We both have experience prior to opening our own business. Officially purchased our license and insurance the beginning of this year along with a rope, saws, and pretty much anything we would need to get going. We didn't have as much to start out with as most companies do but my partners father in law owns a dump truck, flat bed trailer, and a brush trailer that we use at will. We purchased an ad in the phone book which we have gotten quite a few jobs from, but our main source for finding work right now is going door to door and bidding jobs on the spot. We drive around nice neighborhoods, looking for people that could use work done and 90 percent of the time the answer is not right now but 10 percent has been paying the bills and getting us by. My main question for the pros in this business is where do we go from here? Is the best way to build our clientele the way we are doing now? What more can we do? We are dedicated and would love to turn this into a life long business, eventually becoming arborist. Thanks for the advice in advance.
