Every decision your customers make is based on emotion.

The real motivation behind a customer’s call to your lawn care or pest control company isn’t what you might think. It’s not just about wanting a beautiful lawn or pest-free home.

It’s about how they want to feel. 

Customers want to feel a sense of pride, confidence and peace of mind. And they want to know that they’re in the hands of a pro who will solve their problems and make their lives easier.


But the biggest mistake sales reps make is trying to appeal to a customer’s logic before speaking to their emotions. Selling on price and features is about logic—but the way to make a sale is on value and solutions because that’s all about emotions.

You have to serve before you sell.

And it’s your sales team’s job to listen to your customers, understand their emotions and effectively communicate how your company will handle their concerns in a way that’s different from and superior to all the other companies out there.

Your sales reps are the heart and soul of your lawn care or pest control business. If they don’t win, you don’t win. 

And that’s why it’s critical to take a close look at how they’re performing so you can identify the gaps and create real solutions that position you to increase your revenue, retention and market share. 


If your reps are underperforming when it comes to showing customers what differentiates your lawn care or pest control services from the competition, customers won’t see your business as the solution to their problems. 


And that means you won’t be able to maximize your return on investment in training and marketing and generate the revenue you need to scale your business or position it as a saleable asset. 

To reach—and exceed—your revenue goals, you’ve got to have a powerhouse sales team with a high one-call close ratio, and they also have to capture sales in other areas like add-ons and cancel win-backs.

The key to moving the needle in your lawn care or pest control business is following a systematized, repeatable sales process.

Whether your goal is to grow and scale, or if you’re planning to sell your company in a few years, it's critical that your lawn care or pest control business has a documented sales process. 


With a proven sales process in place, your reps will become experts at uncovering your customers’ vision of what they truly want and need concerning their lawns and the health and safety of their homes.

“Duane helped us from creating a commercial sales role all the way to providing the assessment, providing feedback, and actually helping us perfect our interview techniques for the sales professional….Since we hired our first sales professional, we had a 12-month annual goal. He’s hit 100% of it within 8 months of hire. I would absolutely recommend Cashin Sales to anyone in the pest control industry who is either looking to begin or explore creating a separate sales team or looking to improve their processes overall.

Sales is about more than hard work—it’s about processes.

Your team can’t win by winging it, even if they’re passionate, dedicated, hard workers. Yes, it’s their job to sell, but it’s your job as the business leader to equip them with the training and support they need to succeed. 


If you’re ready to help your team become skilled sales professionals who keep your customers happy and your business growing, let us help you get there.
