Our People Make Spring-Green The Best Lawn Care Company

One of the highlights of my year is when I take to the road and conduct 16 Professional Development Seminars in 16 regional locations across the US. I will visit South and North Carolina, Virginia, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Washington, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The best part of traveling is having the opportunity to train so many great people that work at Spring-Green. I try to vary the topics every year and start off with presentations on sales and customer service. These presentations include a great deal of group discussions on the attendees part. Often times there will be three or four different Franchise locations attending the same meeting. When I divide the groups, I try to mix them up so that there is a good exchange of ideas from one location to another.
More and more of our courses have been accredited by many states. As a result attendees will receive continuing education units that are needed to keep their pesticide applicator license current.
Part of my responsibility is to include information on the safe handling and application of the products that are used every day. Some attendees have heard the same thing time and time again, but they know it is a good refresher for them.
I have to include some type of technical training during these sessions. This year I am presenting information on Indicator Trees and the diseases and insects that may feed on or infect these types of trees.
An indicator plant is a tree or shrub commonly found in landscapes in an area that often experiences a specific problem. It will cause serious damage to the plant if left untreated. The Spring-Green Tree and Shrub Care Service is suited to alleviate it.
Most tree and shrub problems are not due to insects or diseases, but are due to cultural practices that can be detrimental to the plant. Improper planting, watering, fertilization, pruning and mulching along with many other mechanical, environmental and miscellaneous stresses can take its toll on trees and shrubs and can lead to its demise.
All of the presentations are focused on helping the Field Service and Customer Service Professionals better serve their customers. I am always impressed with their willingness to learn and engage in discussions we have during the seminar.
I have been conducting these seminars since 1998 and I really enjoy seeing the same people coming back year after year. That is why I know that Spring-Green is the best lawn care company, because we have the best people working for us.
