Who is The Green Executive®?

MEET THE GREEN INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Adam Linnemann is the founder and CEO of Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping, Inc., a thriving and profitable lawn and landscape company that has been serving the St. Louis, Missouri area since 1994. As a landscaping business owner himself since the age of 14, Adam understands the unique challenges that entrepreneurs face when starting and or running a lawn and landscape business.
There are many so-called ‘experts’ out there who speak well and know how to market themselves – yet they lack hands-on, real world experience actively still running a landscape company. Furthermore, you might find tenured experts who retire and go into consulting full-time. Unfortunately, they are not a great option either – as our industry adapts over time and presents new challenges.
We here at The Green Executive® understand what it’s like to be in your shoes – because we are sharing your situation. We currently operate Linnemann Lawn Care & Landscaping, Inc. on a daily basis as a husband and wife team. Like every other business owner, we understand what it’s like when two people don’t see eye to eye on important issues. However, we stay on-task and together – we work to find the solution that best fits our business.
We lead, manage, and direct a team of professionals that are in the trenches day in and day out. This keeps us on our toes and forces us to adapt to changes in the marketplace. We understand what it takes to fight your battles, because we are fighting alongside you – and winning!

Our Profit First Programs
One of the core components of The Green Executive’s strategy is managing resources efficiently and generating routine profits. Many business owners follow the traditional model for calculating and allocating profits – but this is NOT the right way to do it. They’re shortchaging themselves massively.
Utilizing the Profit First model, we work with business owners to plug leaks in their business worth tens of thousands of dollars or more. If you’re looking to achieve efficiency like never imagined and double or even triple profits, you’ve got to take a closer look at our Profit First program.

The Green Executive®
Lawn & Landscape Peer Groups, Consulting Services, Bookkeeping, Facility Tours and More…
Starting a lawn & landscape business or simply getting the most out of your existing business is much easier said than done. Given the low startup costs and low barriers to entry, new lawn and landscaping companies pop up every day. This increases your competition and makes it more challenging to stand out. As a result, earning your spot as the top company in your market area requires a thorough plan, plenty of dedication, hard work, and mentorship.
The Green Executive® excels in assisting ambitious landscaping entrepreneurs to get the most out of their business and ultimately…the most out of their lives. Our mission is to run intimate, close-knit landscape industry peer groups and consulting services with a personal touch. We work with individuals starting a lawn & landscape business and current business owners who want more from their company. Wouldn’t you want to build a self sufficient business that can run without you being present every day?
Are you ready to take your business to the next level?

How The Green Executive® Helps…
After initially consulting with our clients, we analyze their feedback and typically suggest an Executive Overview™. During the executive overview, the client submits their Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Statement, Accounts Receivable and Company Budget. After review, we then provide an opportunities report with 3-5 areas for improvement and how we can better serve you. We understand that every person in unique in their learning style, so some may prefer a group setting vs other preferring one on one consulting.
