Question 4

How long have you been doing this?  Are you busy?  - good operators are generally very busy because word of mouth is the best advertisement.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Usually about price, the average house mowed front and back with edging is usually between $20-50.  I try to keep my business to suburbs south of the city to reduce transport costs.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

I pride myself on being on time, and if running late ( sometimes does happen) I ring the next customers to let them know.  I am totally trustworthy and can provide a National Police Clearance upon request.

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

Spud's Lawns provides an affordable, friendly service.  We work hard to provide the best service possible.  Spud's lawns are fully insured and give pensioners discount.

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

Only general quotes can be given over the phone or internet.  It is much more accurate to quote in person.  All you need to provide for a free no obligation quote is to let me know you address and your availability

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

If your yard is generally tidy it is easier for me to move around and also I then don't have to spend time picking up toys etc... If you could  roll up hoses and pick up dog poo, and ensure that gates can be unlocked easily are all things that can make my job easier and therefore cheaper for you!

For ongoing customers that commit to regular mowing, I will mow the first job for half price (* max. $50 savings)

Accepted Answer

I am a one man business, and do not pay any administration costs as I do these jobs all myself, and can pass the savings onto my customers.  My pricing is very competitive and affordable.

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

The average lawn mowed front and back with edges ( done with a mechanical edger not snipped when possible ) ranges from $20-$50, although prices can vary depending also on the length of your lawn.  For other garden work I work on $30 per hour , but give pensioners a discount $25 per hour.

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?

I concentrate on the basics - mowing lawns and good edges.  Also hedge trimming, pruning, mulching, rubbish removal and yard tidy ups

Question 15

What experience, skills, qualifications or training do you have to make you the right person for the job?
