Tech Up from the Start

Summary

It’s hard to come to terms with the amount of time that you will spend on your computer once your business becomes successful, but it is possible for that time to be productive and efficient. I work with a lot of people that have built companies to hundreds of clients, and they are absolute disasters because they didn’t invest in software. Without the organization and planning that a solid software platform offers, these companies are far less profitable than they would have been had they had software from day one. Think you can wait? Switching software systems when you’re a million dollar company is an extremely tedious task.

I really recommend getting a software system that can run everything from your marketing and websites to your job costing and scheduling to your equipment tracking all the way down. You need one system that can do it all and tie into your financial system. It is critical. I used Service Autopilot to grow my business into the tens of millions per year. It’s perfect for the lawn care and landscaping industry, even if you’re just starting out. It can handle your accounting, your scheduling, your marketing, and pretty much everything else you’ll be doing in your business.
