Now I had to explain that his territory was an agreement between him and his franchise. It had nothing to do with me or my business. It solely meant that there would be nobody else from his franchise working in that area. (assuming the master franchise would enforce it) ​ ​ Working away in his orange overalls. He always looked a bit grumpy when he saw me and never waved back and he disappeared within 6 months. ​ ​ Do this before you run out and buy a pair of orange overalls. ​ Stuart ​ |

You obviously mow lawns... But what else do you do? Gardens? Trees? Hedges? Rubbish removal? Lawn treatments? These are all jobs that people expect lawn mowing businesses to do.
