Jeffrey Scott
 Jeffrey Scott, has a unique perspective on Leadership and Business Growth in
the green-industry.
He grew up in the industry, working in the business from the age of 7. But after he graduated college he moved to Europe, where he consulted with
international companies on their business growth strategies.
He then moved back to the USA where he took over his family’s designbuild-
maintenance business.
Jeffrey grew the company from $5 to $10 million—based on increasing his
company’s reputation, margins, retention, and referrals.
After experiencing the family-business environment, Jeffrey then went back
into consulting, where he created a unique PEER GROUP program for lawn,
tree and landscape professionals.
He found that he was able to help contractors transform and profitably grow
their businesses--by facilitating groups of like-minded landscape business
leaders, in a confidential small-group setting.
