Show Notes

Look ahead at your schedule: do you have enough winter work lined up to get you through the colder months ahead? For the time between snow storms, there are certain kinds of work that can keep crews working.

He discusses strategies for identifying viable services, setting achievable goals, and networking with top clients to uncover unsolicited project opportunities. Listeners will learn about a significant winter project involving a massive retainer wall at Grunder Landscaping Co. and how seeking winter work can not only maintain revenue but also attract and retain employees.
