I find that many businesses lose time in the administrative aspect of their work. As a freelancer, I use Billings to track my time and it works great. But, really - just about anything could work. I think Adobe Marketplace as a free app - Klok that does time tracking. Has you ever tried using any ‘easy’ time tracking systems for the time you spend on the computer or managing the accounts?

But...heres my observation. I personally have several older clients that like to visit with me before or after I service there property. It has been my experience that I may be the only person that they may come in contact with for days. I don't ever want to be so busy that I can't take the time to visit with a client for a few minutes. I have built a very strong following of clients by not making them feel like they are one of many in a long line of properties. I believe that each property deserves special attention to detail and that each client deserves my attention to their needs, So I guess that minutes do matter but just not at the expense to my clients.

Every time is recorded from the smallest lawn to the biggest landscaping job so that we can see if a job is profitable and adjust future prices and bids accordingly. Minutes definitely count.
