Growing a Balanced Landscape Business With Rich Goldstein

Our special guest is Richard Goldstein, President and Founder of Green Meadows Landscape Contractors located in Oakland, NJ

Growing a successful landscape design/build and maintenance business is incredibly difficult.  Not only do we have the traditional headaches of employees and customers, managing payroll and insurance, as well as marketing and advertising. We also have to deal with the weather, language barriers, trucks and equipment and enough governmental regulations to make you want to scream.

As all of you know, despite the insanity, the real reason that we do this type of work is, quite frankly, because we love it.

On tonight’s show, we are going to discuss:

• A step by step approach to growing your business
• Design/Build vs. Maintenance
• Commercial vs. Residential
• Best management practices (BMP’s)
• Job descriptions and responsibilities
• The importance of a good estimating system
• Top quality customer service
• How to attract good people
•  

Special Bonus: Throughout the summer call in to the show and ask a question live on the air and you’ll receive a “free 30 day membership” to FromDesign2Build.com.  Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question.
