Clients Are Thrilled With Linnaea Newman Training You Can Be The Next Success Story…
"Linnaea has mastered the art of making learning fun. No one in our industry does it better!"
Jeff Mariola Managing Director, Rentokil-Initial Tropical Plants, London, England
"If your business is looking for a spark, Linnaea is the one who can deliver it. I have known Linnaea for almost 30 years, and her dedication to excellence and her enthusiasm for our industry is as fresh today as it was back in 1978."
Dr. Joseph Cialone Tropical Computers, Boynton Beach, FL
"Dollar for dollar, hiring Linnaea to do regular training for my employees is the best investment I ever made in my company. Linnaea’s training had a major impact on our profitability. To begin with, she showed our techs how the plants they used to replace could have stayed on the account for several more months with just a few strategic but simple adjustments. Longer lasting plants means more dollars kept in our pockets. That plus the proper pruning techniques she teaches improved not only the appearance of our accounts, but the morale of our empowered technicians. All our jobs looked better from then on. Linnaea saves the average ’scaper a 10% reduction in their replacement dollars, the cost of at least a dozen trees from improper pruning and the cost of replacing a tech or two from "burn out". Suffice it to say, the value of her training is –priceless."
