Location
Magnolia, Texas
CLOSED - POSITION WITHDRAWN. No longer accepting inquiries. - Blossom Exteriors

COMPANY: Blossom Exteriors Tree Service
LOCATION: Nationwide (company based in Magnolia, TX — reps sell in their own city)
COMPENSATION: Commission-based, 10–30% of collected revenue depending on experience and role; exact percentage set in a written agreement before starting. No salary, no guaranteed earnings.
CONTACT: blossomexteriors@gmail.com | (832) 492-2003

We're hiring — but only one specific person.

Blossom Exteriors Tree Service is building a nationwide network of experienced tree-service sales representatives. Not trainees. Not generic door-knockers. People who have stood in a yard, looked up at a dead pine leaning over a roof, and sold the removal.

Our reps sell in their own cities. We review and approve every price from their documentation, the customer signs under written terms, and when a market has a full week booked, our crew travels in and produces the work. Commission-based, 10–30% of collected revenue depending on experience and role, agreement in writing.

If you've sold tree work door-to-door — everyday markets or storm response — or you lead a team that has, I want to hear from you: blossomexteriors@gmail.com | (832) 492-2003

— Ariana Roveda, Owner, Blossom Exteriors Tree Service, Magnolia, TX

SALES LEADERS: BRING YOUR TEAM, WE'LL OPEN YOUR MARKET. If you lead tree-service sales reps — or you ARE the rep everyone follows — we open markets around producer teams: your team sells in your cities, our office approves every price, our crew travels in and produces the work once the week is booked. Commission-based on collected revenue for the team, with a leader override on your team's volume. Terms in writing.

Interesting concept, but it does not look like a very profitable way to operate, especially for a rather new company, and especially if you have to give away a commission and drive halfway across the country to do your work.

How long have you actually been operating using this model? And how large is your company? Your internet presence leads me to believe you're a one-crew operation that does some of everything, not an industry leader in tree care across the country. Props for having big ambitions though, with that post you wrote!
 
Appreciate the questions — let me answer them with what we've actually done.

Blossom Exteriors is a Texas tree service running local work out of Magnolia plus storm deployments. Earlier this month we ran a 10-day storm cleanup deployment in Florida — grossed over $57,000 and netted about $38,000 after expenses, with our own crews and our own equipment — multiple skid steers, saws, and dump trailers — working homeowner-direct across multiple Florida towns. That's the model in the ad: clustered, booked, paid work — not driving out on hope.

The rep program is the home-market version of that: reps sell in their own towns, we approve every price from documentation before a customer signs, deposits are collected, and only then does the crew roll — for a full booked week. Commission is on collected revenue, in writing, 10–30% depending on experience, with a leader override for team builders.

We're a growing multi-market operation with a proven travel model, real equipment, a 5-star Google rating, and a system built so reps never have to relocate or gamble on maybes. If you've sold tree work and want the real numbers, my phone and email are in the ad.

$1900/operating day in expenses seems powerfully light, especially when that has to cover mobilization… even skinnier if that net includes salesman commission.

$5700/day gross doesn’t seem out of line either way for skid steers and dump trailers doing storm work.
 
So, I would need a peddlers license from each municipality/county that I would want to try to sell in, at least if I wanted to operate legally. Would your company be willing to obtain those from the nine counties and 100 incorporated cities and towns in the Bay Area? Some are pretty cheap, while some are a few hundred dollars, but the time to fill out all the paperwork is real. I would do it for you if you'd pay for the licenses.

Most of those governing bodies require that you register with them and obtain a business license in order to actually perfom the work legally there. Would you be willing to get a business license in each town/city/county that I sell work in?

I am asking seriously, because I am selling tree work in the Bay every day, and your idea sounds interesting, but I am working for another company right now in part because of the financial barriers to entry around here.

That's an interesting concept. I appreciate your sharing that, I'm still curious about a lot of things. I see you have a five star rating, so that's something, but only 15 reviews, and all recent so clearly you're still new in business.

How do you deal with differences in markets, like here where brush disposal costs $20 per cubic yard? How do you know that before you arrive so you don't lose all your profits to disposal costs? If I'm your salesman does that mean I don't get paid if you're not making money because you didn't account for that?

What happens when a customer from the past wants more work, but not a whole week of work? They're just stuck waiting forever or they have to call someone else since you won't drive across the country for them? And if I can't sell a full week of work, everyone just gets canceled or has to wait a year before I do find enough work for you to show up?

How long have you actually been in business, full time, with this travel model? You say it's proven, but your internet presence appears to say differently...
 
Storm work is such a different ball game than standard tree work. Such lower profits, such less demand, such a different timescale. It’s an interesting idea but I would have to tell customers to wait months potentially to have tree work done, and by a crew who I’d never met. I don’t know what they are and are not capable of. I prefer to bid for folks I have known and trusted my life to.

If you had for instance reached out to me after Helene (to the extent downed communication would have made that possible), I could have sold weeks of work if you had a mech saw / crane, and would have been happy to.
 
I’m curious if your crew knows how to take down a 200’ 48” diameter Douglas fir with no or severely limited equipment access.

That and local jurisdictional permitting for critical areas?

If it’s a commission based deal, but I sell work less than full week increments, do I not get commission until the work is completed?
Never-mind the client expectation of waiting until the schedule rounds out enough to become convenient.

Sounds like a interesting business model but also sounds like a subcontractor scheme.
 
I would want to see a portfolio of pruning before-and-afters too, not just one or two that you did yourself to get some good pics. I mostly sell pruning work, since removals around here usually require permits. I am curious if "collected revenue" refers to the gross or the net, because a removal around here tends to net you a low percentage, since the permits can eat up the first $8k. Do you do plantings of large trees? We have to plant some fairly large replacement trees if we remove a large tree.

I guess the simpler question is whether or not you have ever worked in any major population centers in California. It's a whole other country out here. ;)
 
@BlossomExteriors My responses to you are not meant to come across as an attack, but they are meant to elicit your responses and get you thinking about some things that you may or may not have considered before. There are many people here who know an incredible amount about trees, and the tree industry. Quite a few of us are willing to share freely what we know, you just have to be willing to accept it, and take a bit of criticism along the way. We all started somewhere, there are people here who have just started, and there are others who've been in the industry for 50 years. Please stick around, learn some things, and teach us some things.
 
Same here for real too. I got plenty of things I need money for, and I have lives in two entirely separate regions in CA, so I could TOTALLY go for 10-30% off the gross of what I could sell. I, likewise, just need to make sure you know the notoriously cumbersome logistics of working in CA, especially the parts with enough people to work the kind of flow it takes to make your idea work. If that all sounds good, I would definitely sidebar more seriously with you.
