I think you would appreciate this testimony to illustrate what you were talking about...
I started a yardwork business in August of 2014. I signed up 3 customers for monthly maintenance service (2 at $50/month; 1 at $75/month). Before the holidays, 2 cancelled! ARGH! (LOL) All that winter all I had coming in was $75 a month.
Spring of 2015 (My Freshman Year in business!) my one customer gave us a raise! She was on a huge corner lot, and felt bad about how little we charged for what we did. So, my first customer, and the one who stayed with me, bumped us up from $75/mo. to $100/mo. During 2015 we signed up 19 customers, 4 of which are still with us today! (Monthly rates of $65, $100, $150, & $153) We did do a lot of Overhauls (complete yard clean-ups) that did not convert to maintenance accounts. (We no longer offer overhauls without signing up for maintenance.)
Sophomore Year (2016) we signed up 11 monthly maintenance customers, of which only 2 remain to this day ($153/month each).
Junior Year (2017) we signed up 14 monthly maintenance customers, of which only 5 remain to this day (4 at $153/month and a front yard only for $100/month).
Senior Year (2018) we signed up 6 monthly maintenance customers, of which only 1 remains to this day ($153/month). In October, I sold the company to my wife, and I work for her now as a consultant/advisor. These 4 years were my Business Education. One customer asked me (before even hiring me!) if I had a degree from The Harvard School of Business. Her statement, in my mind, was her handing me my diploma!
Graduate Work (2019) we signed up 11 monthly maintenance customers, of which 7 remain to this day (each happily paying us $195/month).
So far this year (2020) we have signed up 2 customers at $195/month!
In addition to that, we provide free maintenance service to a couple of people in town. We call that Civic Capitalization.
If anyone wants more details, feel free to ask!
