• It's never been more difficult to find qualified employees. Programs and handouts from the government public-traded giants with an unending desire for front-line workers and a growing gig economy has made it extremely difficult to hire for small business owners. The question that is most relevant is: how can we draw talented people and keep them over the long haul? How do I establish the rates of pay for my top performers who are always asking for increases? How can I expand my company without having to manage my Team while they are in the field?
  This is what we call Pay-For Performance (P4P).
  I understand the stress of growing a home-based service company and trying to inspire your employees as you balance the budget and the rising expenses of operating. P4P has allowed me to expand my business in lawn maintenance beyond 7-figures in annual revenues and we now have many locations throughout North America. In a short paragraph, P4P pays employees a proportion of the money they generate for their business. It's that easy. The remainder of the P4P system is designed to ensure that standards for quality are met and that employees don't rush through work or cause damage to the property of customers. If you're sick of snubbling employees' babies, tired of offering low-paying, non-paying job opportunities, and tired of watching employees waste their time and money as well as their potential, I would suggest you to work hard to apply P4P and watch it change your business.

Verified Purchase

Mike Andes is a thought leader in the Landscaping industry. He help me grow my business, Harford Lawn & Landscaping Services from $0 to $258k in 9 months. His content systems and personal one on one guidance were key to our growth. Now we are prepared to take the next step and grow to $500k. P4P will be a vital part of that growth. It will not only increase our employees pay, it will also weed out the bad ones. It will help us become a LEAN organization focused on our clients, employees and increased profits. If you are a business owner looking to make your company more competitive, I highly recommend you read this book.

I implemented P4P in 2021 based on Mike’s direction and it has been amazing for my business. It simplifies how an owner can have a pulse on the day to day health of production crews and it incentivizes the behavior that allows the business and the employee to make more money. Please do yourself a favor and buy this book, you won’t regret it.

P4P (Pay for Performance) in and of itself is a business game changer. This book outlines and provides examples and the "Why" this way of compensation IS the way forward. Mike does a fabulous job shaping and improving the landscape industry as a whole. -JG

Incredible and very simply laid out book. This concept taught by Mike Andes has brought my company full circle landscape solutions from negative profit margins to now becoming a growing profitable company. After listening to the audiobook I just ordered paperback copies for our entire field team and will be giving them bonuses if they finish the book. We are going to be the change we would like to see in the industry.
