Beyond the Ditch
The Modern Playbook for a More Profitable Irrigation BusinessThis presentation addresses one of the most pressing challenges business owners face: the frustration of being busier than ever but not seeing proportional growth in profitability. Drawing from her background in commercial banking, LeanScaper methodology, and digital marketing for irrigation professionals, Schultz will provide a comprehensive framework that goes beyond surface-level tactics to deliver real, measurable business impact.
The keynote will equip attendees with practical strategies to evaluate where their marketing dollars are actually working, identify the highest-ROI opportunities in today’s digital landscape, and make data-driven decisions about where to focus their limited time and resources. Attendees will leave with actionable takeaways they can implement immediately to improve their competitive positioning and attract higher-margin clients.
