I think establishing a reputation is easier said than done. A lot of these partners are nationwide, and so we are...

banking on that a lot for this strategy so hopefully our reputation kind of progresses with us in these locations and these relationships do stand but definitely something that's going to be tricky yeah it seems like your your customer is like a one-time customer most of the time yeah yeah we have i think we calculated roughly maybe about five to ten percent of the clients come back for phase twos but since we are a full design and build

It's word of mouth right now. Yes, we're going to launch a marketing team. But we've started it. They're just kind of compiling data on what the best marketing sources are going to be. But we're actually going to allocate a budget starting January. And what percentage are residential versus commercial projects?

And then referrals, what percentage is coming from referrals? Probably 40%, maybe not necessarily from referrals. I would say the 40% is just our online presence in general, people going to the websites, people telling their friends, our Google reviews, whatever it is.

Oh, for sure. And me and John like to have those conversations too. Like, oh yeah, we're flying out here for a podcast. This is awesome. Or like whatever conversations we have that have to do with entrepreneurial benchmarks. And I think this is one of those maybe like, oh yeah, we have a huge team. We've hired so many people this year. This is awesome.

And it's more of just like scratching this itch as entrepreneurs that we've always had. But I think we could definitely hone that in and check that box while also doing super meaningful targets.

in landscaping it's like these guys specialize in doing x right yeah and that's something that i think we've had a bit of a challenge uh discovering about ourselves because as we uh start projects one thing leads to another and eventually someone's asking if we can build their house it's like we gotta draw the line somewhere yeah and i think where that line is is outdoor living spaces so we want to be a one-stop shop because there are a lot of people that pay for convenience in this world uh
