Fractional sales manager for landscaping and lawn care companies

SumRev provides fractional sales leadership for landscaping and lawn care companies. A part-time sales manager runs your weekly sales rhythm — who responds to leads, how estimates are followed up, and what the team reviews each week — so the owner stops being the sales manager.

Symptoms we see most often

  • Spring inquiries come in faster than anyone can quote them
  • Design-build proposals go out and then go quiet
  • Maintenance contracts lapse because renewals aren't tracked
  • Upsells to existing maintenance customers depend on memory
  • The owner is the only one selling, and the season decides the schedule

Where landscaping companies lose booked jobs

Landscaping sales are seasonal and split between one-time projects and recurring maintenance. Without a weekly rhythm, peak-season inquiries wait, proposals stall, and renewals slip.

  • Peak-season inquiry response and site-visit booking
  • Design-build proposal follow-up
  • Maintenance contract renewals
  • Enhancement and upsell offers to existing customers

What a fractional sales manager does for a landscaping company

The role gives seasonal sales a plan and a weekly owner.

  • Sets response and site-visit rules for busy seasons
  • Runs a weekly review of open proposals and renewals
  • Builds a renewal and upsell calendar for maintenance customers
  • Coaches estimators on proposals and follow-up
  • Keeps customer and proposal records accurate

Head of Sales or VP of Sales?

Most landscaping and lawn care companies at $1M–$5M need hands-on weekly management first: a fractional Head of Sales. Larger teams that need structure, compensation, and hiring plans may need a fractional VP of Sales. The Pipeline Teardown shows which gap matters more.

How it starts

Every engagement starts with the Pipeline Teardown. We review 20 recent opportunities — won, lost, or stalled — and your pipeline records, then return documented problems and the fixes to make first. Ongoing work runs through the Sales System Build on the Services page.
