Benchmarking your business in real time

Every year, the Lawn & Landscape team surveys hundreds of readers to create our Benchmarking Your Business Report, where we bring you industry standards for equipment expenditures, rates of pay and budgets.

The most recent report was in the November 2016 issue, but you can now see in real time how you stack up against your competition regionally and nationally on our website.

Head over to our website at bit.ly/Benchmarkreal to enter your numbers and see where you stand.

L&L, Corona Tools, Jain Irrigation and Ewing Irrigation met up to live tweet the Irrigation Show in Las Vegas last month. We even headed to Facebook Live to bring you the latest news from the show floor. Special guest Conrad Weaver, director of the documentary Thirsty Land, stopped by to chat about his new film and we got the lowdown.

Visit Facebook.com/landscapechat to see for yourself.

If you missed Marty Grunder’s webinar – 3 Keys For Success in 2017 – and you’re wary of what the year will bring, take some time and head over to bit.ly/Grundersuccess to hear his three tips on what you can do to grow your business and be successful in 2017.

In an hour, you’ll hear Marty’s advice on how to find and keep good people, how to improve profitability and how to stand out in a sea of sameness.
