Trash is most certainly my biggest issue with commercial work. If you target smaller commercial accounts, you can build a good rapport with owners/Management and they will keep you for years if you do the work well. When I was in Tampa, I held on to most of my commercial accounts for as long as I wanted them. Two condo associations for over twenty years.
I do have a good few that has been faithful to us for many years. So I get what you’re saying also. Or even if they all gave us a 2-3 year like some do that would be great also
@@Boglawn22 have you ever tried multi year contracts, something like a three to five year deal with a guaranteed maximum rate increase from year to year? (Fuel costs aside)
I would think about it logistically as well. If you spend 2 hours at a commercial then move, verses a house 30 minutes here load and unload time, more travel. But with residential you could be more flexible and offer and/or winter services. Just something to consider, and also diversity can break up the day.
Would love to see a video on how you go about bidding commercial clients. Particularly new ones that you’ve never bud before. Like the whole process.
