I have been in the lawn care indusrty for about 5 years now. I am continually getting requests for jobs that are just too big for me alone, because i hevent had the manpower or equiptment to do the work.
Well after getting a few jobs under my belt last year, i decided to go for it.
I am really struggling with how do i predict sales when i am getting into a market that i havent really been in?
I have pretty much figured out my costs including tools, employees, taxes, admin, job material costs, my salary, and some unforseen expenses.
I currently have about quite a bit of equiptment, and i am planning to buy some more essentials before the year gets going, so i want to be able to have some sort of a sales goal for every month already predicted.
If i am missing some big aspect of the business please let me know....thanks
