What was different about this customer than the majority do you think?

Intelligence, qualified accountant, responsible person who believes in correctness and quality not how cheap to get things done.

Makes total sense. Thats your target market. So, how can you position yourself to attract more like-minded customers?

If you can promote your point of difference, being the benefits of quality arboriculture as opposed to larry the local lopper, in a way that this type of client will find you, maybe you can get through the "butcher barrier" and get more and more of this work and leave the hacks to cut each others throats in the same way they cut trees.

The question is how........?

I have an idea I'm working on, when I'm rich and done I'll let you know.

LOL, imagine if engineers were as thorough as arborists.

Loved it. And not one person asked if you really knew what you were doing.... What was the DBH of the upright

I think our Engineer's must go to the same school.

Plastic factory is expanding, needed to do this today (Fathers Day) for 2 reasons.

1/ Concrete pour Wednesday

2/ No bugger around, bloody busy place!

Solo'd it, ground it, all done 3 hours including stump grinds and other shrubs, cut and stacked. They get rid of it.

Went to church today, nice day in the cool shade.

Here's Steve looking for the confessional.

Like the ole Holden in the Background? Very original, should be covered not out in the hot sun like that.

Ekka · 20th September 2007, 09:49 PM

And this is how we made it shady.

You Idiot!

i would love to know what the pedestrians were thinking.

typical australian dry sense of humour.

What's your name son?

"Ekka."

Sounds a bit foreign to me!

Yep, probably would have been something like this The Chaser's War on Everything - Terrorist security response • videosift.com

The Chasers war on everything should be compulsory viewing for school children.

They are keeping the aussie tradition of sticking it up authority alive and well.

I just hope one of them doesn't get shot one day

Lol thats great stuff there...

A few months back now, me and my mates were down at the Sydney Harbor Bridge - luna park side at 2 in the morning... From the time we walked down from where we parked the car to the water we already had the security guard following us... We ended up doing 3-4 laps with him following us before we left lol...
