Not gonna lie, once you said it’s just you and a guy in a truck, it literally made my chest cave in and eyes start watering when I thought about how hard I’ve worked, and how hard I’ve still struggled. Also thought about how hard my brothers worked and how hard he’s still struggled, I just wanna be a barrier breaker here and a provider. Your insights are eye opening! I’ve got two beautiful daughters and an amazing fiancé, they deserve for me to step up and become the young father I am. 30 yrs old tommorow and I feel like god brought your insight into my eyesight. It’s crazy when you speak I feel like it comes from inside myself. Man I appreciate the hell out of someone who wants people to know we are able to control most of what we fear we can’t. You’re an inspiration and earned a sub and I will be tuning into your videos from now on. Thanks! And thanks again
@@keith-kalfas absolutely, man I’m loving how you dont leave comments hanging and still follow year old videos and shit! 🤘🏻 it’s going to get done, no other choice. Don’t want to give my strategy away but I feel like where I live in competing with a ton of em, I felt as if I get called and go check out a potential job, offer the first 1hr free lol. May sound funny but I want attention while I’m trying to feed my family and leaving a secured hell hole to make my own hole!
I’ve been at it 8 months and I can honestly say we’ve gone strong. Every customer knows someone. And the older people can’t get on the roof or ladder. I did my own branding, cards, door hangers, I’ve done my shirts. We’ve done EVERYTHING
Could you do a video (if you haven't already), of how to go door to door, what to say to people who you want to give your card to? I need to get past my anxiety of talking to people, but I need a tip or two. Your videos have all been so helpful and inspiring!
I just got done mowing my 3rd lawn for the day and saw this video. I started pby pounding pavement, I discovered facebook and the internet this year. Kieth is is always righ, the internet is a God and advertising is one of the best things to help grow a buisness.
I just spoke into TH-cam and said "how to get more landscape customers" and this video started playing. TH-cam finally did something right. I was looking for a Kalfas video anyway....
If I could "like" this 100 times I would. What you're explaining is completely attainable. I had it cranking for 16 months... doesn't sound like much, but I'm an ex felon that has faced battles and wars along the way. (Drug offenses only marijuana at that) I lost everything to the mother of my youngest child. Anyways, I'm gonna work on this asap. Thanks for the knowledge and motivation Keith

Wow. I know this video is 2 years old, but I am dealing with trying to increase my accounts this year due to a lot of change that was not expected that I am dealing with. I love the line. When the pain of staying the same gets worse than the pain of change it is time to change. Wow, that line is so powerful. I am posting it on Facebook tonight. I remember the day I walked into HR and quit!!!! I have never looked back and regretted that conversation.
this is a awesome video man i’m 15 and i wanna have a job over the summer so i can just work and not be in the house all day and to save up for a nice car. thing is i’m just nervous and don’t know where to start and i feel i won’ know where to start when i try but i’ll be watching your videos to process these tips 👍🏽
This is gold if your not doing it already! I copied competitors websites key words who ranked above me. Google my business with reviews and now I am always 1 in that map ranking bit. The golden three was it? I ranked in two more towns just from using other people’s key words on my site! Lots to be done but super busy so not too fussed now ha! And most of this advice to put into practice is FREE!!
Keith Kalfas haha, not really! Bro got me set-up with a basic site. Wife is good at it (now has small business doing work wear) I can tweak a few bits but it’s a massive learning curve like everything in business. The wife bless her was meant to overhaul mine but did such a good job on hers now too busy haha.
Keith Is the most genuine person, he means what he speaks and actually cares. I messaged him a couple of years ago about how he inspired me to get started and he messaged me back congratulating me. This guys content is gold.
That’s right 👍. Thanks for always giving great advice but explaining things in different ways. All videos are unique and I always learn and boost up my motivation from all around landscaping advice to new business owner advice👍 thanks kieth

So we don't have to get a DOT number for trailer signs and magnet signs? So if you paint it on the truck you need a Dot number? I have signs and want to mount them to my trailer.
Keith, You are an inspiration to me. Not to be mean but I want to be bigger than you. I figure if I want to be the best I have to aim high. Thanks for everything you do. Thanks for the motivation
I have about 8 houses. But I need more houses, mostly during the winter i have 0, because my clients only need me during the summer. I want to focus on my landscaping company only attract more and more clients. Reply please thanks
What size dump trailer do you pull with that F150? How does it do? We have the exact same truck and wanting to upgrade from a utility to a dump trailer. But wondering if we need a F250 to pull a dump trailer
What is the startup cost for a solid setup? I have a truck and trailer. I am looking at doing mostly residential of 2acres or less. I have 10,000 cash to start.
Facebook market place, any time I try and put up an ad on there it says I'm breaking some policy cause I'm advertising a service? Is there something I'm missing there, always gets taken down. I'm outside of USA tho so not sure if that has somethibg to do with it?
Yes you're right. I made a mistake when I said that because someone else mentioned that to me and I accidentally said that. I retract that statement. You can no longer sneak through the Facebook marketplace.

Write scripts and record them on video from the perspective of the person at the door. Watch, and repeat. Write scripts and record them as though you’re on the phone, and listen to them until you’re satisfied, you’re your heaviest critic, so “good enough” for you is perfect to them. Always remember, people remember how you made them feel, not what you said.

How much do you charge to spread stone? Whats your formula, is it based on the stone or do you have a set rate per yard?
would you explain why you don’t offer mowing and does affect your income or do you make more money by not offering mowing.?
Thank you for this video I know I'm just now seeing it but it's helping
So we don't have to get a DOT number for trailer signs and magnet signs? So if you paint it on the truck you need a Dot number? I have signs and want to mount them to my trailer.

What size dump trailer do you pull with that F150?
How does it do?
We have the exact same truck and wanting to upgrade from a utility to a dump trailer. But wondering if we need a F250 to pull a dump trailer
Its just a 6.5x10. And it pulls it with zero lag.
I could say so much! You honestly have no idea how great full I am. Thanks Keith
Love this.. thank you. My questions is.. im at the point where I need someone to schedule/quote. Im losing business to not being able to quote ASAP.
