Who should be sending you clients

The same list, turned around. Give first and the rest follows.

National Association of Landscape Professionals
Most landscapers join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licenses, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.
Let us be straight with you. For landscapers, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑
Is your seat open?
Prime Time takes one Landscaping Company per chapter. Put a South Florida ZIP into the form above and we will show you which seats are open.

Prime Time doesn't operate where you are yet.
We have chapters across South Florida and none near you. Telling you to join would be bad advice. The rooms above are the real answer where you are. We can email you the one page version and let you know if we open near you.
