Do you enjoy listening to your landscaper's Bluetooth speaker music?
We make a courteous effort to make things as easy possible for the landscapers. What are your thoughts on Bluetooth speakers filling in the audio space between lawnmowers and leaf blowers?

Not quite sure I understand.
They put on hearing protection and then blast the music to hear it over the noise and muffs/plugs? |

Bluetooth air pods can be purchased for as low as $9.99 on amazon. Buy a few pairs and gift them

It may be that if they are all using the same source for music, some would be out of blue tooth range for ear buds. John is right, those operating machinery should be wearing eye and ear protection. My landscapers come as crew of four plus a foreman. They work hard and leave in an hour or two for most jobs. I'm OK with whatever noise for that short time frame.

I have spent the last 4+ summers listening to constant building, screaming, etc. from building project happen all around me.... so I have no sympathy for something like this.... if it is to much to deal with, plan to be out running to the stores, or on a boat ride while the landscapers are doing their things.... Life is simple, don't be judgemental and look for way to mitigate the mole hills and don't let them become mountains... In the last 4+ years, I have taken plenty of boat rides to get away.....which has lead to great experiences on the water with my wife, watching loons, having lunch with beautiful views etc. You can sour your life by sucking on a Lemon, or you can figure out how to make it into lemonade......or just find a new landscaper..... |
Not long ago a California town banned leaf blowers operating on weekends.
The next weekend, the professionals came out in force...Hundreds of them with leaf blowers on full while shouting... "Sin justicia, no hay paz"! (No justice, no peace). My girlfriend and I went into hysterics. Still chuckling when I revisit that visual memory. I don't think the "law" was ever enforced. |

I think that is why he suggested a gift.

If someone is doing something that you don't want to do yourself, or unable to do yourself and doing a good job, who cares what they are listening to or how they are listening to it. Now if it music that has a bunch of swears and they are blasting it than yes, I'd say something. If it's just a little music that they are enjoying and its making them happy to do a good job, no harm and you got what you wanted done.

It's all noise, my landscapers are in and out in less than a half hour. I can deal with the noise for a half hour.

A friend of mine built up a highly successful landscaping business. One of the things he did was create a database of customer information. This was a huge benefit particularly with his high end clients. His workers would know that at some jobs they couldn't smoke, swear, had to wear shirts, acceptable music to play (or not), time(s) to show up to work, who to bring a paper to, whose mail to get, political beliefs - and in one case, no NY Yankee attire on the grounds as the customer was a rabid Red Sox fan. Tedious, yes, but the payoff was huge as not only did he do a great job, but he treated his customers the way they wanted to be treated. He sold the business a few years ago for a small fortune. The new owner hasn't done a good job treating his clients they way they want to be treated and the business is much smaller and less profitable.

No, it is a good business man treating his customers the way they want to be treated. It is how you build a strong business.
I spent 45 years in sales & sales/BD management. I never understood why business owners paid thousands of dollars to send sales people to sales seminars that told you to be nice to your customers and treat them respectfully and how they wanted to be treated. Isn’t that common sense? Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

But I find the wealthy are actually more easy going than the ''affluent''. Because of the labor shortage... it is easier if management takes the time to engage customers that fit their business profile. Unfortunately, most management has never been taught to develop a business profile. The customer profile route works, but can be a bit more data intense, and generally requires a customer that accepts the pricing/services that matches their profile. |
If it's Springsteen, Zeppelin, AC/DC or other classic rock, then play it all day baby.
But, if it is any of the lousy music from the '90's and beyond that masquerades as rock (or worse, foreign or rap/gangsta stuff) then they need to turn it down or wear the earbuds - you know, in the interest of public noise ordinances and courtesy, of course. |

If the customer is willing to pay enough... why not.
An old marketing phrase is you can have anything you want if you have enough time and money. |
