Coaching owners of Landscape Construction Businesses
John Corban (founder of landscaperCoach) understands the way a residential landscape construction business works and what challenges a business owner experiences every week, every month. He knows what the owner of a construction business needs to do to increase profit, win more jobs, manage his guys better and have the company running smoother. And don’t tell John that you can’t make a healthy profit out of a Landscape construction business, he has coached many that do!
So how does coaching work?
It starts by helping you define what areas are not working as well as they could and helping you create a simple plan to improve those important areas. The coach, John Corban, will guide you step by step giving you templates, systems and showing you how to implement the changes at a pace that works for you. He will not turn your business upside down, that would be destructive and damage your business, instead the planned changes will be at a comfortable pace. Remember John has coached over 50 owners of landscape business and over 220 business owners, so he knows what to do and how to do it to make it work for you.
John will talk with you once every fortnight or month for about an hour. Each session John will talk about something/s that you have both highlighted as an area that needs attention like improving your quoting or creating your project management system. During the weeks if you get stuck or need help you just call or email John and he will help you the same day. Remember, John will provide you with templates and systems to make to easier for you.
