Annapolis Business Receives Marketing Performance Award from Weed Man USA

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Weed Man USA, a fast growing national lawn care franchise, named Layne Sheppard and his team at Weed Man Annapolis as winners of the company’s 2015 Marketing Performance under $750,000.

Presented year at the company’s annual conference, the Marketing Performance award recognizes franchise owners and operators who work to improve their marketing performance, increase sales and optimize the customer experience.

“Layne and his experienced team of sales managers and lawn care technicians have had a great year and have demonstrated to their customers a continued commitment to providing superior quality of service,” said Jennifer Lemcke, COO of Weed Man and Turf Holdings, Inc. “They have set an excellent example and the Weed Man family looks forward to watching them grow.”

Annapolis General Manager Layne Sheppard along with sales managers, Jon Lucci and Kent Philbin, were the driving force behind the market’s growth in 2015. Sheppard started with Weed Man during high school as a Customer Outreach representative, working in the office his father, Bruce Sheppard and older brother Brandon Sheppard owned and operated. After college, Layne joined Weed Man full time, learning many different aspects of operating a business which prepared him to take the helm of the Annapolis office as General Manager in 2014. Sheppard’s prior experience with Weed Man has been invaluable in spearheading the office’s overall growth.

“None of this could have been possible without the support of my family, my staff and trusting in the tools and systems created by Weed Man. With the company’s guidance, our team has been able to develop a better customer experience over time by optimizing our operations across many different areas and looking for ways that we can continue to improve,” said Layne Sheppard. “This award was a great way to end another successful year and help us look ahead to another big year for our market.”
