Key insights about video CUSTOMER WON’T PAY | GARDENING JOB AT A RAILWAY STATION

🌱 Despite being a profitable car park business, the owner neglects the maintenance and appearance of the site.

💵 The owner could easily invest a small amount of money to make the site look tidy and improve the overall customer experience, but chooses not to.

🌿 Regular maintenance, such as pruning plants and pulling out weeds, would only require a few hours of work each month.

💸 By neglecting the site, the owner is missing out on an opportunity to make an additional £1200-£1400 per year.

🚗 Customers continue to use the car park despite its messy appearance, but it is a shame that the potential of the site is not being fully realized.

🧹 The gradual deterioration of the site is frustrating for the person who worked on it and sees it as a wasted opportunity.

💔 Unfortunately, not all customers value the importance of a well-maintained and visually appealing space.
