Tree Care Marketing Company Founder Reveals a Simple System to Increase Sales by 30% Overnight

EXTON, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tree Leads Today (TLT) founder Don Dowd is revealing a simple system that he says can increase tree care sales by 30% overnight. The system involves sending a follow-up letter to homeowners who have received an estimate for the tree care company's services. Dowd refers to this system as "the 60-cent salesperson."

"The company is already paying for the lead, and the homeowner has already expressed enough interest in receiving an estimate," Dowd says. "The 60 cents or so that you spend on paper and stamps is the best money you could ever spend to turn that lead into a sale."

Here are the steps that Dowd lays out to successfully make this system work:

1 - Use a white plain #10 envelope with a first-class stamp. Purchase a large supply of these ahead of time along with enough paper to print out a sufficient number of copies of the letter.

2 - Customize this letter with your company information. (You can copy it directly from this article or contact Tree Leads Today to get a free copy emailed to you.)

Good Afternoon!

I recently gave you an estimate for tree services at your residence. If you have any questions or would like more information about the estimate, please don't hesitate to call me anytime!

We at COMPANY understand the value of a long-term client. We would love the opportunity to gain your business now and in the future.

Sincerely,

NAME

3 - Print out a bunch of follow-up letters ahead of time based on the number of estimates you typically do each week/month. Have your estimator sign each letter personally, then stuff the letter into one of the envelopes.

4 - Do NOT put your return address on the outside of the envelope. You are not required to put a return address on the envelope if you use a first-class stamp. Not doing so will help ensure that the envelope gets opened.

5 - At the end of each day, hand-write the name and address of every homeowner who received an estimate that day, place a first-class stamp on the envelopes and mail them. By sending the letters the same day as you did the estimate, the customer will have it in hand usually within 24-48 hours, which is the perfect follow-up timeframe to remind them of your visit.

"Many companies don't even return calls or show up for an estimate," Dowd continues. "Implementing this simple follow-up system sets your business up to outshine the competition. At this point, price becomes a lot less of a factor, because the homeowner knows they are dealing with a quality company, one that won't do shoddy work, leave stuff behind after the job is completed, etc."

The follow-up letter system is hardly used in the industry, even though it is easy to implement and requires minimal resources. The system can be done by anyone in the company and requires no special skills or training.

"If it is a larger tree care company, the letters can be prepared in advance and kept in the office, ready to be addressed and sent out each day", Dowd continues. "For smaller companies where the owner is the one going out and doing the estimates, for example, you can just keep the envelopes stuffed and on hand in your truck, then hand-write the address on them and mail them out at the end of the day."

Dowd's method has been tried and tested in his own tree care business, and many of the tree care companies he works with that are doing well into the 7 figures have also implemented it.

"When I implemented this system in my own tree care company over two decades ago, I saw a 30% increase in sales virtually overnight, and those results are pretty typical. So for example, if you send 1,000 of these letters, you could potentially land an additional 300 jobs. At $1000 per job, that could add $300,000 in gross revenue to the company from 1,000 estimates and mailings."

Dowd believes his follow-up mailing system works so well not only because so few companies do it, but also because direct mail is generally a better way to follow up with customers than emails or phone calls.

"I've found that the personalized letter works more effectively than emailing or calling for doing follow ups after an estimate. Emails can get buried, deleted, or end up in the spam box; and phone calls can seem invasive, especially if you catch somebody at the wrong time. A letter like this will almost always be opened, and it can be opened and read at the recipient's leisure."

Remote Control Grapplesaw Crane Lease Model Innovator, Justin Hartmann (Canary Tree), Partners with Tree Leads Today

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Don Dowd, owner of tree lead marketing company Tree Leads Today, announced his new partnership with Justin Hartmann of Canary Tree. As soon as Don Dowd saw Justin Hartmann's short-term grapplesaw crane leasing model, he knew it was the perfect solution for his clients who struggle to keep pace with their backlog of work.

"Until now, our clients had to find additional crews and buy equipment to keep up with the amount of leads we generate for them. Being able to get a remote-control crane and an operator delivered anywhere in the country gives our clients a way to take on an enormous amount of work and complete it in a minimal amount of time. It also enables our clients to get familiar with this cutting-edge equipment and its capabilities." Don first came across Justin's innovative leasing model on Facebook. Justin was surveying tree care professionals' interest and what they'd be willing to spend on this program.

These specialized rigs are quite a considerable investment, usually in excess of half of a million dollars. With the largest fleet of grapplesaw knucklebooms in service worldwide, Canary Tree Service has established itself as the industry leader in disaster relief tree service. As Justin describes, "This is an unparalleled opportunity to get work completed in the safest, most efficient, and most profitable way, with all human risk taken out of the equation. We even offer grapple debris truck rentals with an operator for efficient debris removal."

Since Tree Leads Today has clients across the nation that are backed up for months, these tree companies are often left scrambling to add more crews and equipment to keep pace. As Don explains, "My clients will no longer need to pause marketing now that they can use this revolutionary offering. And they can usually cover the cost for a whole week's rental on the first day. Justin has created the opportunity for any tree company to take advantage of this lucrative investment in superior equipment by offering a simple pricing structure for short-term rentals. "

When Justin was asked why he chose Tree Leads Today over other marketing companies, he replied, "Unlike other marketing companies that take your money and then hope that leads will contact you, Tree Leads Today only charges you for actual leads that contact you directly. I'm also impressed with their diversified approach."

Tree Leads Today is an industry leader, with an expert in every field of marketing including digital marketing, social media, call-to-action websites, content writing, SEO (search engine optimization), and personalized offline marketing.

Justin adds, "All of this coupled with the fact that the company was founded by a long-time tree company owner who knows the tree care business gives them a huge advantage. I can see how Tree Leads Today is able to deliver large volumes of leads that are highly concentrated in their clients' desired territories. I've seen this firsthand through tree companies across the country who I later found out were clients of Tree Leads Today."

Tree Care Marketing Company Sees Its Most Explosive Growth Amidst 2020 Pandemic

WEST CHESTER, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- "The tree service companies that consistently thrive are those that ramp up their marketing efforts during times of recession, such as the economic downturn of the COVID-19 pandemic." This statement comes from Don Dowd, owner and founder of Tree Leads Today. "During economic lulls, many make the mistake of scaling back their marketing out of fear."

If a company's workflow becomes inconsistent, owners may lose their qualified arborists and climbers to their competitors. Without a solid team, a tree company is at risk of failure.

Tree Leads Today is a nationwide tree care marketing company with clients extending as far north as Waterville, Maine, as far west as Maui, Hawaii and to the south to Key West, Florida. They deliver 50 to 1,000 exclusive leads per month to every one of their tree care company partners.

As Dowd explains, they assign a personal client manager to each of their tree company partners, providing ongoing advice for online and offline marketing campaigns for continual, consistent lead generation. They cater to companies' ever-changing needs, such as ramping up, ramping down, or pausing their marketing when their businesses surge to the point they can't keep up with their expanding customer base.

Tree Leads Today works with the largest nationwide tree companies, such as Bartlett Tree Service and Davey Tree Experts, as well as startup and small companies. Unlike other lead systems, the leads they provide are 100% exclusive. This means they aren't shared with any other tree companies in the zip codes that have been specially reserved for their partners. Tree companies get the calls directly from their leads, a unique feature of Tree Leads Today that makes the process transparent and immediate.

Also, as Don explains, "We have found that 6% of leads are bad, so we built a 10% 'bad lead allowance' into the equation. So, for example, if you are a tree service with a 100-leads-per-month plan, we give you 110 leads per month to ensure we've got you covered."

Tree Leads Today maintains close relationships with all of their partnering tree companies. They look forward to the TCI Expo, the industry's biggest yearly event, to see their partners in person and network with thousands of exhibitors, educators, tree company owners, and equipment suppliers. Unfortunately, it was just announced by the host of the event, TCIA (Tree Care Industry Association), that this year's Expo is cancelled due to COVID-19 guidelines. Don says he and his team are disappointed, but look forward to attending next year. In the meantime, Tree Leads Today continues to thrive through the COVID-19 pandemic, with record-breaking growth in lead generation for the months of May and June, 2020.

Call Tree Leads today to see if your zip codes are available, 610-601-9100.

Tree Leads Today Sees 595% Growth Year Over Year

CHADDS FORD, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tree Leads Today (treeleadstoday.com) has grown more than five-fold during the past year, which its founders say is a strong testament to the effectiveness of their tree marketing program.

There are a lot of marketing companies out there that promise to give businesses an edge over their competition, but very few of them actually deliver on what they say. Normally, you'll have to pay a lot of upfront fees and/or sign onto a long-term agreement before you ever find out what you are really getting. Don Dowd and Jason Lomberg, the founders of Tree Leads Today, started their company with a different approach.

They sought to develop an effective marketing system geared specifically toward the tree care industry, one that would actually deliver the results they promised and make clients pay only for the leads that they received. Going into their fifth year in business, this has proven to be a win/win formula for everyone.

"We started several years ago marketing our services to tree companies in Pennsylvania and on the East Coast," says Don Dowd, Tree Leads Today co-founder. "After proving our concept with tree companies in our local area, we scaled up and went national. Now with so many satisfied clients, word has spread quickly, and our program has caught on like wildfire. Currently, we are up almost 600% year-over-year."

Tree Leads Today is now in over 40 states. They service tree companies from Washington and Oregon down to Beverly Hills 90210, from Waterford, Maine down to Key West, Florida and all points in-between. Last year, they were a featured vendor at the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) Expo in Pittsburgh, where they received rave reviews for their marketing program from those who were in attendance.

What Makes Tree Leads Today Different?

Over the years, Tree Leads Today has tested and tweaked its marketing methods, and they continually make improvements in order to stay on the cutting edge. Using a proprietary blend of online and offline marketing methods that has been perfected over the past five years, they are able to generate leads that are high quality and more likely to convert into paying customers for local tree care companies. Companies are assigned a series of zip codes based on their needs and size and based on the availability of zip codes.

"One of the important things that differentiates us is that we work exclusively with tree care companies," Dowd continues. "Our team is focused entirely on generating leads for our tree care clients, and we know this industry inside and out. For local tree companies, our in-depth industry expertise is comparable to what you would expect from a large marketing firm with huge staff and a much bigger budget - the type of firm that would be beyond reach cost wise for many of these companies. We partner with one only company who receives a series of zip codes, and smaller companies are able to benefit from the expertise of our team and the efficient and cost-effective marketing methodologies we have developed."

There are several key benefits of the tree leads today program that make it stand out from other marketing companies:
* Clients pay only for the leads that they receive;
* Unlike many of the large home service leads providers, leads are 100% exclusive to the client - this means that there is never any worry about getting into a bidding war with competitors;
* Leads are geo-targeted by zip code, which saves companies significantly on travel costs and time, allowing them to work more efficiently. As a result, they are able to effectively double the number of estimates and jobs they are able to secure;
* Leads start coming in usually within one to two weeks after the program is implemented;
* There are no long-term contracts to sign - everything is month-to-month.

"When you sign on with a typical marketing company, you are the one who is usually asked to take all of the risks. We treat this relationship like a true partnership - an 'at will' partnership where either side can walk away at any time if it no longer makes sense to work together. And because our clients receive a series of zip codes/territories that are exclusive and completely locked down, they are not afraid to tell others about the success we are delivering. This has ignited something of a grassroots movement."

With the exponential growth Tree Leads Today is experiencing, territories are starting to fill up, and in some areas, tree companies are on waiting lists to get into the territories they want.

"Given the growth we've seen, we are starting to get waiting lists. There are still a lot of available territories out there, but if you want to get the zip codes you want, it is best to get in touch with us sooner rather than later."

Bill Shipp is the vice president of commercial banking for the People's Bank and Trust, a bank that specializes in providing best in class equipment financing for tree services companies in the Delaware Valley.

Equipment financing can be a risky business, but Bill says he is a lot more confident about the deal when a tree company is working with Tree Leads Today: "I love working with tree care companies that partner with Tree Leads Today, because I know that these companies will benefit greatly from the significant growth in revenue they receive from the leads TLT generates."
