Lawn Care Franchise Ownership Tips - Spring-Green

The Small Business Year in Review

 

 

Since it's already December 17th, I thought that this would be a great day to take a look back in what's been a somewhat average year. (With a few bright spots, of course!)

One of the bright spots has to do with someone who has renewed their Spring-Green franchise agreement for a 3rd time!

A lot of small business happenings took place. (Even some big business ones, like that little problem BP had.)

What other small business-related news items stand out for you? Don't worry. I found some for you...

Here's Why Spring-Green Franchise Owners Are Satisfied Franchise Owners

 

 

The franchisees of the Spring-Green Lawn Care franchise are not shy, when it comes to sharing reasons why they are happy as franchise owners.

Sometimes, their stories are quite telling, as to the quality of the executives at Spring-Green's Chicago area headquarters.

And sometimes, it's the services that Spring-Green provides to it's franchisees that make the difference between franchisees that are just showing up, and franchisees that are very pleased with their decision to partner with Spring-Green Lawn Care Corp.

Go here. You'll see several examples.

The Spring-Green Franchise Call Center Has One Purpose

The purpose of this service franchise's call center is to "encourage" revenue. If you're a franchisee of Spring-Green Lawn Care, you'll completely understand what that means...

From Deliver®; A Magazine for Marketers;

Each year, Spring-Green kicks off a highly personalized direct mail campaign aimed at getting potential customers to reach out to Spring-Green through its company switchboard. Once a recipient phones in, they are urged to sign up for the Spring-Green services through a local franchisee.

Minneapolis Franchisee Is Customer-Service Centric

Rob Leiner, a former store manager for Target, says that his Waconia lawn care franchise  is managed with customer service in mind. To rob, that means giving our Chanhassen, Waconia and southwest Minneapolis area customers the lawn services they need when they need it most....

Rob spoke with Spring-Green's Brad Rusin, and shared a little about his Spring-Green franchise experience.....

Spring-Green's Creed

If you're considering franchise ownership, it's important for you to identify with the franchisor's philosophy. Not all franchisors are equal. Some have a formal creed in place, while others verbailize it.

Believe it or not, some franchise companies don't even have a formal one.

In Spring-Green's case, it's right in the Spring-Green franchise operations manual.

The Spring-Green Franchise Advantage; A Great Call Center

During the busiest times of the year, franchise owners of Spring-Green are doing what they're supposed to be doing; they're out and about, taking care of their customers.

That's because all of their incoming calls are being handled by the Spring-Green call center....

Spring-Green Franchise Owner Renews Agreement For a Third Time!

When a franchisee of any franchise business renews his or her franchise contract for a third time, it's just got to be good.

When you become a Spring-Green franchisee, the franchise agreement you sign is for a 10 year term. (That's pretty typical, industry-wide.)

In this case, Candy Wolfe, has officially announced the renewal of her Spring-Green Lawn Care in Niles for a third 10-year term. Wolfe bought Spring-Green from the previous owner in 1991, but she started working for Spring-Green in Niles as an office manager in 1979. Wolfe currently services Berrien County and Cass County in Michigan, as well as St. Joseph County in Indiana.“Over the last 30 years, I’ve really gotten to know my customers,” Wolfe said. “We’ve grown and expanded, but some of our customers have been around as long as I have. I’m looking forward to another successful 10 years and many more to come.”

Check out Candy's local Spring-Green Lawn Care website.

We have an attractive opportunity for candidates who do not want to be tied to a storefront operation, retail hours or set appointments. Spring-Green currently has about 120 franchises operating in 26 states.

Franchise Control

Some people go into franchising because they want more control. Some people buy franchises because they're sick of being controlled by their bosses..their companies. What about you?

As a franchise owner, there are certain things you can control; your attitude, expenses, (usually) office culture, and more. But, there are a few things that you can't control, because the franchisor does.
