In memoriam: Brodie Bruner of Weathermatic
There are a few things that are certain in Pensacola that you will have to deal with at some point - tree removal and tree trimming.

Some of the things you should consider include: - The type of tree that needs to be removed - The size of the tree - The location of the tree - The condition of the tree If you are unsure about whether or not you need to hire a tree removal company, contact Tree Services Pensacola for a consultation. We will be able to assess your situation and give you our professional opinion. It is with great sadness that LM reports on the loss of a friend of the magazine and a friend of the industry. Brodie Bruner, executive vice president of Weathermatic, passed away last month. He was 49. Bruner was a husband and a father of three. A graduate of Baylor University, Bruner joined Weathermatic right after college and never left. He was passionate about saving water as well as delivering clean drinking water to impoverished countries. Over the last 10 years, 30,000 people and 100 communities have been impacted by Bruner’s and Weathermatic’s efforts. A frequent guest on LMYouTubeouTube channel, LM’s Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones once tried to catch Bruner off-guard with a surprise question: did his Baylor Bears have what it takes to win it all? “(The basketball) I see is making me start to believe,” Bruner said. “(Coach) Scott Drew, our Baylor Bears, they’ve got what it takes.” The Bears went on to win the 2021 national championship, beating Villanova 86-70.

Grow with Grunder: Sell more to your existing clients

They have been in business for over 10 years and have the experience and expertise to get the job done right. Fully licensed and insured, so you can rest assured that your property is in good hands. Pensacola tree service is a company that specializes in removing trees. They have been doing this for over 10 years and they are really good at it. They also do stump grinding, which means they get rid of the stump left behind after the tree is removed. They are fully licensed and insured, so you can be sure that your property is in good hands. In March, I did a training session with our salespeople at Grunder Landscaping Co. where we went over how enhancements can help us hit our sales goals and what they can do to find more enhancements. Here’s what I shared with them: If you assume there are 50 weeks in the year to sell — taking two weeks out for the end of the year, when we know it’s rare to close sales — we can pretty easily find another $250,000 in revenue by selling $5,000 in enhancement work each week. That’s a doable goal and breaking it down into a weekly goal helps us to wrap our brains around it. The activities needed to sell enhancements require salespeople to go out and be order makers. This means they have to be out in the community, walking the properties they manage and actively looking for ways to create work. Here’s what I encourage them to look for: Safety issues. Is there anything unsafe on the property? Trip hazards? Low-hanging branches? Bare spots. Are there bare spots in the mulch where we could add additional plants to fill it in? Less mulch and more plants is a tip I learned from my friend, landscape architect and industry giant, Doug Hoerr. Usage improvements. Could we do something to improve the functionality of the property for the way that it’s used? We’ve had success selling retaining walls when they give a client more usable yard space. Aging or damaged plants. Are there plants that are damaged or deformed from the winter we could replace? Is there a tree or shrub that’s nearing the end of its typical lifespan? Be an order maker I emphasized to my team, and I’ll emphasize to all of you, that in no way do I want them to have commission breath or sell our clients work they don’t need. We don’t need to be overly pushy. Often, just making suggestions about what’s possible is enough to find additional work. Our clients choose to work with us because they know we are experts in outdoor spaces. They want us to bring them ideas on what could be done on their properties. Often, our clients are grateful we brought things to their attention and love the improvements we suggest. In sales, sometimes the orders come to us and we can be order takers — writing down what the client wants and then doing the work. Other times, the orders are slow, and we need to go out and create demand and make them. In past years, salespeople could just be order takers and hit their goals. That’s increasingly unlikely this year. I hope that these tips help you go out and be an order maker this year. If you’re looking for additional help with sales this year, either for you or your team, I encourage you to join us in May for our Virtual Sales Bootcamp 2.0. This event is a companion to our original Virtual Sales Bootcamp (although they don’t need to be taken in order) and will cover information sales teams need to know to close more sales in 2024 in six live online sessions.

For a full list of services Tree removal services visit Pensacola Tree Removal Service for a fast, friendly and reliable quote that you can count on. This will help not only beautify your property but also is the safest way to do it. Well, this one is going to be weird to write … because I want to stress that this is not goodbye. This is ‘wait for what’s next!’ Last month, the timing was just perfect. To celebrate the entrance of spring and the growing season ahead of us, on this page, I shared a photo of me and my local lawn care applicator, taken a few hours before we went to press. This month, the timing is again fortuitous. As I write this page (the last page I write of every issue), only hours ago, we shared this news with our readers: we hired a new Editor-in-Chief for Landscape Management. His name is Scott Hollister and I’m so excited to introduce you to him. A little history here: Scott and I were co-workers from 1999 to 2012 when we both worked on the magazine Golf Course Management (GCM), the official publication of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. In 2012, I was hired away by North Coast Media to lead the magazine Golfdom, a competitor to GCM. I was young(er) and eager for the opportunity to lead a magazine on my own. In the ensuing years, I think it’s OK to say that things have gone well. So well, in fact, that a little over five years ago I was asked if I would lead both LM and Golfdom in a dual role — working as Editor-in-Chief over both publications. I said yes to the promotion (of course) and I’m thankful I did; the people I’ve met and the places I’ve seen over the last 64 issues have been remarkable. But with staff turnover and the continued growth of the magazine, a change was necessary. We knew we needed another veteran editor on the magazine, and we knew we wanted someone who could come in on day one and have the connections and the experience in the green industry to make an immediate impact. That was the moment I decided to text Scott — to invite him to 23rd Street Brewery in Lawrence, Kan., so I could ask the question, ‘Can I talk to you about an opportunity I have at Landscape Management magazine?’ Scott spent 26 years working for GCM, so it was not an easy move for him. But after multiple lunches, meetings and phone calls … I’m excited to tell you that Scott is again my co-worker. I will move into the role of Editorial Director of LM, which is a fancy way of saying, ‘I get to do what I want to!’ I will also maintain my position as Editor-in-Chief of Golfdom, a job I’ve had for 13 years. Once the news went out today, Scott’s LinkedIn account erupted with new LinkedIn connection requests. That didn’t surprise me. He might be new to you, and you might be new to him, but he isn’t new to the green industry. I know he’s the perfect person to come in and build upon what the team has been doing for the past five years: creating the most trusted, valued, best magazine in the industry. I hope you’ve enjoyed the last five years of this magazine and found the content useful. Trust me when I say that you’ll be seeing more from me and all your friends at LM — in person, online and in the magazine — soon. I wonder what’s next?

Communication Coach: Never fake your company mission

For a full list of services Tree removal services visit https://treeservicespensacola.com/tree-removal-pensacola/ for a fast, friendly and reliable quote that you can count on. This will help not only beautify your property but also is the safest way to do it. One of the cardinal rules of business is being true to your mission. It’s like a compass that keeps your purpose aligned for serving a target audience while showcasing your unique strengths. Back in the late 90s when the lawn and landscaping industry was experiencing its first major round of consolidation, I attended my first ALCA (now NALP) Executive Forum in St Petersburg, Fla. The energy in the destination hotel was electric and contagious. I was the owner of an aspiring residential design/build company among a sea of commercial landscape management leaders. At least that’s how it felt because all the conversations eventually led to whether your company was open to being acquired. Many of these companies were second-generation businesses with different challenges than mine. Yet, their stories inspired me. Since I was an industry newcomer, it was like a big door opened to reveal attractive new opportunities. When I brought these ideas home to my team, they pushed back. I tried to explain that the bigger profits and growth were in the commercial markets. They continued to resist. That was the end of that until we picked up a residential client who also wanted us to take on a large commercial property he managed. The grounds included over five acres of landscaping and an equal area of sidewalks and pavement requiring snow and ice management. We agreed to take it on with the same attention to detail our residential clients expected. We learned two valuable lessons from this experience: You can successfully serve multiple types of customers, but not without redefining your company mission. If you cannot work out the incongruities, you may want to reconsider or risk faking your mission. You will have to work harder to integrate (and sometimes separate) their respective differences. This includes equipment, production methods and standards, and communication styles. We retained that commercial client and others like it for more than ten years, but eventually returned to our residential roots. The one exception was retaining the profitable commercial snow and ice management business. Know your strengths One theme remained constant amid the transformations. The core strength that allowed us to prevail in every situation was communication. Our residential customers greatly appreciated this skill, and it turns out it’s highly valued for managing risk in commercial snow and ice operations. This story has one more lesson. When we recommitted to residential properties, we opened the door to much larger and more profitable projects. Despite their greatly expanded scope and complexity, our core strengths assured us we could successfully handle them.

Make the most of your space to keep your truck organized
If you're in the Pensacola area, then you have probably already experienced the need for having to remove a tree or stump or getting your tree's trimmed.

For a full list of services Tree removal services visit Pensacola Tree Removal Service for a fast, friendly and reliable quote that you can count on. This will help not only beautify your property but also is the safest way to do it. For lawn care operators (LCOs), proper organization is an essential element for completing any job. “If your trucks are organized, even if it comes down to your tools and putting them right back in their same spot, it makes things easier for workers to find stuff, get things fixed and be quicker on a site,” says Jennifer Wing, marketing manager for Hannay Reels. “If things are unorganized and you’re spending time looking for things, you’re wasting time and money. Organization leads to efficiency, which leads to the cost-effectiveness of a truck build or layout.” When Dave Arnett, sales manager for Graham Spray Equipment, talks to contractors about organizing their trucks, he often finds himself asking, ‘What do you think you need to go out there and maximize your daily revenue potential?’ “Our rigs are set up one way by their specifications, whereas multiple tanks and systems can spray turf and trees and shrubs,” Arnett says. “We can also offer accessories like backpack brackets and storage boxes for dry fertilizer.” According to Wing, proper organization is about knowing what you need, what things will come up during the day and trying to make the most of the space on the truck. “It’s very easy to roll up a hose and throw it in the truck and go, but when planning a truck layout, a hose or cable reel can save time and protect that piece of equipment,” Wing says. “It can be expensive, but sometimes, cables can be more expensive than the reel itself. It’s a safety issue a lot of the time.” In addition to a reel, contractors should be sure to include tanks for chemicals, mounts for equipment, hoses and safety tools on their spray trucks. Successful truck organization starts with the truck itself. Brian Tabel, vice president of Isuzu, says safety is the company’s No. 1 priority with its offerings to LCOs. When discussing the chassis and new diesel truck from Isuzu, he says that new configurations have made things easier for drivers while operating the vehicle. “The first generation of our truck came out in 2007 and a lot of changes have gone into making it more ergonomically user-friendly for the driver,” Tabel says. “There are different pockets, a rear passenger pocket to slide paperwork into, a new work surface, a center seat, different hooks and positioning of buttons.” As the times have changed, driving has become simpler, he adds. This means that Isuzu’s trucks have new features like steering controls, which limit the time a driver has to make adjustments while driving. While a contractor considers these options and accessories, knowing their budget is an important factor. “Expenses are at an all-time high for almost everything now, so I think contractors need to look at their overall initial expenses on a truck and the longevity of the product they’re putting on it,” Wing says. “You can get an aftermarket part fairly inexpensive, but will it last? Will you have to replace it in a year? Then you’re paying twice. So, paying a little more for a product that lasts will save you money in the long run.
