A few weeks ago there was a strong storm that came through the area and in the morning I realized that one of our largest trees had been split in half. The large section that was ripped from the main part of the tree landed in my neighbor's yard. Immediate action was required since the neighbor adores her plants. I got my trusty chain saw and went to work on the downed section of the tree. Eight hours later and totally exhused the neighbor's yard was cleared of all offending limbs.
Now what to do with the rest of the standing tree? My wife felt it could be saved, I felt it was beyond that point. A professional arborist came and presented his opinion - the tree had to come down.
I contacted the local professionals, Ryan Lawn and Tree, and accepted their bid.
A few days later a crew of young guys came and put on their harnesses. They climbed the tree without any fuss and started to "piece the tree out." The tree was his stage and he danced like a ballerina cutting selective branches and moving on to other ones all the time maintaining his balance so delicately.
I was more than impressed. In two hours the huge job was done. The logs were stacked for firewood, the area cleaned up, and the crew had departed.
How did they do it? Yes, that is the message of this blog - training, teamwork, preparation before the job began, and knowing which team member was located where on the job site so no one was hurt.
All marketing and sales activities should go as smooth as the one performed for me by the ballerina in the tree.
