SIX WEEKS TO GO?
So if Phil was correct, it means we have six more weeks of winter before you can get back out there installing and servicing your customers. What to do in the meantime? Here's some suggestions:

  • Continue to train your staff with online resources - see the NDS training below.
  • Organize your service trucks - take a look at the video below from Christy's.
  • Consider new product offerings for 2021. How about a fountainscape with fire? Check out the Aquascape video below.

By the way,since 1887, Phil has predicted 20 springs and 104 winters. When we compare these predictions to past climate data, Phil only has a 40% accuracy rate so it's best not to wait until mid-March to get your operation ready for the season!
