The brand has seen major growth in recent years as the home services segment continues to boom, and to celebrate,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lawndoctor">Lawn Doctor</a> recently gathered with its owners in Naples, Florida, for the Lawn Doctor Conference.&nbsp;“The Lawn Doctor conference was a huge success,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericmartinfranchisedevelopment/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lawn-doctor-celebrates-55-successful-years-in-business-at-annual-conference-2721192" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Eric Martin</a>, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “We had an incredible turnout. It was great to be able to gather with our owners and spend time face-to-face. We are already looking forward to next year’s event and can’t wait to see what we learned during the conference in action.”&nbsp;During the conference, attendees got to hear from speakers on educational panels with topics such as: Building a Great Team - Recruiting, Hiring, Training and Retaining Roundtables; Growing Your Business - Increasing Value and Retaining More Customers Roundtables; When and How to Hire a Salesperson; When and How to Hire a General Manager; and Growing Your Business to the Next Level. These roundtables were a great chance for interaction and one-on-one time among owners.&nbsp;Recruiting was a featured topic at the event. “We are leveraging cutting-edge tools to reach the best caliber employee candidates – even those who aren’t actively looking for a new job,” said Martin. “We are seeing great results in using technology to significantly expand the labor pool without relying simply on advertising, networking, word of mouth and other traditional methods.” &nbsp;Additionally, the franchise spent dedicated time focusing on marketing performance tracking with its owners. Martin noted that the brand is using BI to monitor centralized media performance and sharing results directly with franchisees. “Our owners don’t have to wonder what their marketing money is doing because they can track results,” he said.&nbsp;Owners also got to hear about a new sales training program. The new internal program will focus on upsells and increasing revenue within the existing customer base, as well as roll out a new and improved sales follow-up processes. Attendees also got a chance to learn more about Lawn Doctor’s new health and benefits program that rolled out in 2022, to better equip franchisee recruitment efforts when it comes to hiring and retention.On top of providing invaluable informational sessions, the franchise also made time for fun team-building events such as golf, fishing, team Olympics, a dinner cruise, an awards dinner and time for franchisee recognition. “It was great to be able to bond as a team,” Martin noted. “We don’t often get the opportunity to all be together in one place, so this time together was priceless.”&nbsp;The conference wrapped up a banner year for the Lawn Doctor brand. The franchise closed out 2022 with a whopping $204 million in system-wide sales. And all the hard work put in didn’t go unnoticed.
