Ever had a homeowner say, “You’re too expensive”—and not know what to say next?

In this episode, Kati breaks down exactly how to handle price objections without getting defensive or dropping your pants (your prices, that is).

You’ll learn:

✅ Why “too expensive” is usually just a conversation starter

✅ The power of “What” questions to uncover what the customer really cares about

✅ How to turn sticker shock into a sale (with mulch, patios, or planting beds)

✅ Real-world scripts and responses you can steal today

✅ How to use AI (yep, even ChatGPT) to practice these conversations

Kati walks you through examples word-for-word so you can confidently answer price pushback—and sell the value, not just the job.

🎯 Try this on your next estimate: ask, “What would you need to see to feel good about this investment?” Then shut up—and let them talk.

In this episode, Scott breaks down how small landscaping businesses can outrank national chains on Google Maps—without spending big on ads or hiring a marketing agency.

Spoiler alert: You already have a secret weapon the big brands can’t compete with.

Scott shares the 3 ranking factors Google actually uses to decide who shows up at the top—and how small, scrappy landscapers can win by leaning into what makes them local and trustworthy.

You’ll learn:

1. The #1 mistake landscapers make with their Google Business Profile

2. How to turn everyday jobsite photos into visibility boosters

3. Why your local reputation matters more than brand recognition

4. What “relevance” really means—and how to update your profile to match it

5. How to use reviews the right way to build trust and climb the ranks

Plus, Scott shares the overlooked reason some landscapers with fewer reviews are still beating the competition—and how you can do the same with a simple weekly routine.
