30-minute call with Jim. Have last year's revenue and your headcount handy. That's it.

35 yrs running landscape crews in PA

Sound familiar?

  • You do estimates at 11 pm because that's the only time nobody's calling.
  • You win 8 out of 10 bids and you're kind of proud of it. (If you're winning 8 of 10, you're underpriced.)
  • Three guys are rolling back into the shop at 6:45 on a job that'll be there tomorrow — at $39 an hour instead of $26.
  • The customer "adds a couple things," your crew stays four extra hours, and you eat it to keep the account.
  • Every receipt goes on one card and the accountant sorts it out in January. You find out what you made in April.
  • If you're not in the yard at 6:15 loading trucks, the day goes sideways. So you haven't taken a real vacation in years.

None of that is a work problem. You've got the work. It's a numbers problem — and it's fixable.

The Profit Leak Audit

What the audit shows you

1

Your revenue gap

A maintenance company should gross about $175,000 per field employee. Landscape and install, about $200,000. I talk to hundreds of owners a year and the numbers hold. Twenty-five guys doing $3M should be doing $4.3M or more. That gap is where we start.

2

Your real net

Most owners tell me 20–30%. When we look, it's 8%. You'll see your take-home against a 10% floor and the 18% the best-run companies in the network hit.

3

Your number

The per-man-hour rate that covers labor, overhead, un-billable hours, equipment replacement, insurance, taxes — and profit on top. It doesn't matter what the guy down the road charges. This is your number, and it's the one your estimator bids from.

4

Your three biggest leaks, in dollars per month

Morning load-out. Overtime that isn't producing. Scope creep. Mowers bought out of savings instead of out of bids. It's never one big thing — it's pinholes in the bucket, and they drain it.

Run the first number yourself

This is the math I do on every call. Put in your crew and last year's gross.

Mostly
Your crew should gross$1,750,000
You grossed$1,000,000
Revenue gap$750,000

That's number one of four. The other three take 30 minutes and your real figures.

How it works

  1. Apply 2 minutes

    Name, cell, and one question about how you bid. Then pick a time.

  2. I run your numbers before we talk

    You give me six figures at booking. I build your one-page audit the day before.

  3. We walk the sheet together 30 minutes

    Where you stand, where the money's going, what to fix first. If it makes sense to keep working together, I'll tell you exactly how the Profit Leak Fix works. If it doesn't, you still leave with the sheet.

Jim Wertz, founder of the 7 Figure Landscape Network

Who's doing the audit

I'm Jim Wertz.

I started my landscape company at 19 and ran it for 35 years out of Altoona, Pennsylvania — installs, hardscape, snow. Hired hundreds of guys. Hurt my back in my twenties and had 12 employees show up to a shop where nobody knew what to do; that's the day I started building systems instead of being one.

Those systems let me take my family to Florida for 15 days every February in the middle of plowing season, and retire at 52.

Now I run the 7 Figure Landscape Network — a small group of owners doing $500K to $5M across the U.S. and Canada, about 20 companies at a time — and I do one thing: make landscape companies more profitable.

I don't care what you gross. I care what you keep.

The promise

If I can't find at least $50,000 in profit leaks in your audit, I won't take you on as a client.

I'd rather you keep your money than pay me to tell you what you already know.

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for leads. You've got enough work; that's the point.
  • You're under $750K or it's just you and a helper. Come back when you've got crews.
  • You want motivation, a course, or a Facebook trick. I don't sell those.
  • You're not willing to look at your real numbers. The audit doesn't work on feelings.

Questions owners ask

Is this a sales call?
It's an audit call. You'll get the sheet either way. If what I see says the Profit Leak Fix would pay for itself, I'll say so and tell you what it costs. If not, I'll tell you that too.
What do I need to have ready?
Last year's gross revenue, how many guys you run in season, and roughly what you took home. If you have a per-man-hour rate, bring it. If you don't, that's an answer too.
I'm slammed. When's a good time to do this?
Now. Winter's quiet because nothing's happening. The leaks show up in season, when the trucks are rolling — that's when you can see them and fix them.
Who's on the call?
Me. Bring your wife, your partner, or whoever runs the office — the people who already know where the money goes.

You don't need more hustle. You need to know your number.

30 minutes. One page. Math doesn't lie.

  • Four numbers you don't have today
  • Built before the call, from six figures you already know
  • Yours to keep whether or not we work together
