Why You’re Losing Money Even When You Win Jobs

from Growing Green Podcast · host Jeremiah Jennings

Reach Out Via Text!In this episode, Jeremiah Jennings breaks down one of the most critical (and often overlooked) systems in a landscape business—accurate estimating. He dives deep into why most contractors are unknowingly losing money, not because they aren’t winning jobs, but because they don’t truly know their numbers. Jeremiah walks through the power of production rates, how to actually build them in the field, and why templates are the key to speed and consistency in your estimating process. He also opens up about real mistakes he’s made—jobs that doubled in labor time—and how those lessons shaped his current systems. To wrap it up, he shifts to the front end of the business, highlighting how poor lead intake and slow response times are costing companies thousands in missed opportunities. This episode is a practical, no-fluff guide to tightening your systems, protecting your margins, and scaling with confidence.Support the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/[email protected] Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/
