7 Ways to Improve Your Irrigation Service Agreements
Summary
Showing that you have a predictable (and growing) source of revenue, and one that’s down on paper (vs. a handshake with the owner, no matter how much we may miss those days) makes it a much more attractive option. It could be prorated or just a slimmed-down version of specific services, but doing this educates customers that this is the best value for them, and builds the habit! Then layer on the other services you provide (e.g. fertilization, landscape lighting maintenance), or bump up the number of mid-season checks. Consider offering a bundle price for the hardware to add monitoring (usually a timer upgrade) and an annualized cost (e.g. $150/season). Collect and store a credit card, set up payments via ACH, and update your agreements to auto-renew each year.
