Questions
Common questions about commercial outreach
Residential leads come from homeowners searching online. Commercial outreach is proactive. We identify, contact, and build relationships with property managers, HOAs, municipalities, and general contractors on your behalf. These are larger, recurring contracts rather than one-off jobs.
Commercial sales cycles are longer than residential. Most clients see their first warm introduction within the first month and their first contract opportunity within 2-3 months. The 6-month minimum exists because pipeline takes time to build, and the value compounds over time.
Not required, but it helps. Certifications like ISA Certified Arborist or TCIA accreditation make it easier to win contracts, especially with municipalities and larger property management firms. We can still pursue commercial opportunities for non-certified companies focused on trimming, removal, and clearing work.
Typical commercial contracts include ongoing property maintenance for HOAs and apartment complexes, municipal tree care and emergency response contracts, commercial property clearing and hazard reduction, and general contractor subcontracting for new construction or renovation projects. Individual contract values range from $5,000 to $100,000+ annually.
Yes. We will not run commercial outreach for competing tree care companies in the same service area. Your market is yours for the duration of your engagement.
Absolutely. Many of our clients run residential lead packs alongside a commercial outreach plan. The two services are separate with separate pricing, and they complement each other well. Residential fills your day-to-day schedule while commercial builds long-term revenue.
