Being a landscape business owner is a lonely job. The work may be fun, but sometimes you wish that your “boss” had more answers.

• What’s the best way to do performance reviews and address compensation?
• Is there a sales commission plan that actually works?
• When should we hire more managers? Where can I find them?
• How much marketing is really necessary?
• What’s the best way to smooth out cash flow during the slower months?
• How do you handle a crisis such as losing your largest client—or a key employee quitting at the worst possible time?

I’ve spoken with hundreds of business owners in the landscape industry, and I’ve noticed that some contractors simply don’t believe they deserve to be given the right answer.

Think about that for a second…

Many owners will tell you:

• “I’ve always figured it out on my own.”
• “Our business is unique—generic advice won’t work here.”
• “We already tried something like that once. It didn’t work.”
• “I don’t want to copy other people and lose what makes us special.”

Some owners are too timid to ask for help. Others have simply learned to live with the status quo.

There’s Nothing Wrong with Shortcuts

The owner I want to address is the one who believes asking for help is a sign of failure—or worse, cheating.

Who made up the rule that you have to struggle alone? Why not skip the unnecessary “experience” lessons and discover the joy of achieving results faster?

You’re the kind of leader we can help.

Enter: The Leader’s Edge

For nearly 20 years, we’ve built our reputation by sharing practical, real-world advice with landscape company owners—often for free through newsletters, social media, and podcasts.

But if you want something better…

The Leader’s Edge Peer Group is a peer-to-peer coaching experience exclusively for landscape business owners.

Everyone in the room runs a company like yours. Managing crews, equipment, clients, seasons, weather, and cash flow. Speaking the same language—production, maintenance, design/build, snow, margins, labor, and growth.

This isn’t theory. It’s applied experience.

The Leader’s Edge costs just enough that you take it seriously—but not so much that you feel pressure to change everything in 90 days. Progress beats panic, and the relationships you build last a lifetime.

Each group is led by a member of the Jeffrey Scott Consulting team. We:

• Moderate discussions
• Introduce frameworks and tools
• Help members coach one another
• Provide direct coaching when roadblocks appear

Accountability is built in. No one wants to revisit the same unsolved problem month after month.

Not everyone belongs in a group setting, which is why some contractors choose one-on-one coaching instead.

How It Works

Leader’s Edge is one large community made up of smaller peer groups.

Each group includes 12–15 landscape companies. Groups meet twice a year in person and stay connected through Zoom, WhatsApp, and all-member events.

Every meeting includes:

• Business updates and real questions
• Deep dives into systems, technology, and processes
• Open discussion about what’s working—and what’s not
• Tools to keep you on track

Naturally, members share resources, do business together, and build real friendships.

It’s serious business—and a lot more fun than figuring everything out alone.
