Hey guys, I'm a week away from launching a massive direct marketing campaign that has been tested and targeted. I am very sure that this will work out to get a good amount of clients for us. It is a service based business that maintains a residential home's outdoors throughout the entire year on a weekly basis. So all things lawn care, pressure washing, car washing, litter pick up, etc. All throughout the year to keep the entire home looking perfect everyday. We come once a week and do a service. The clients pay a monthly fee. One serviceman can service 10 clients a day and will be in charge of 50 clients for the entire year. (Work 5 days a week = The Same 50 Clients Each Week)
Now here's the thing. What would be a better option in terms of profit and overall? Sub contracting the work out to other reputable companies or going through the process of hiring employees? What are some pros and cons of this?
I'm starting to think that if we do the business end of things and leave the work to high quality service companies (subcontracting), it can create an automated system within the company and a burden will be lifted off for me to be focusing on quality of work.
