"Hire office staff or another field tech?" "How do you actually know if a job was profitable?" "Where's the tipping point where things finally start working?" Got a question in mind? Don't hold back. Here's who did exactly that this month 👇 lamadrina — shared a few out-of-the-box marketing tactics, including her furry safety inspection tech, and started getting calls straight from social media. Solid argument for putting your own stuff out there before paying for leads. Sophiera — asked a question most entrepreneurs aren't asked enough: “How are you doing?” And your answer can’t include your revenue, your pipeline, or your team. Check in here. Jamie-Miller — put 26 years of hiring frustration into one honest post about why finding an A-player is so hard. Sound familiar? The replies he got back on hiring systems and pay strategy are worth the read. aravind169 — one of our newer members who joined and went straight to asking how people actually track job profitability after labour and expenses. Good thread if you've ever finished a job and only kind of known whether it made money. ComfortKings — approaching 500k in their first year and still answering customer calls from the truck, which is why their question about hiring office staff or a field tech first hit a nerve. If you can't take the call and do the job, this post is for you. There's a version of your problem already sitting in someone's head here. Spark a post. And if nothing's got you stuck right now, go find someone it has. Whatever got you through it will get them through it faster. 🤝Meet our 2026 Jobber Grants recipients!

Anthony - [AnthonySalazar] 5+ years in pet waste removal, and I've spent most of that time figuring out how to stand out in a crowded market.

Starting a post takes courage. Replying to one takes a willingness to share what you've learned, and these members didn't wait for the perfect moment to share what they know. Different businesses, different backgrounds, all willing to share what they've figured out. That's what keeps this place worth coming back to. 🌟 Chi_Cleaning — has a way of cutting straight to the point! Their take on documenting the customer journey first and the difference between what you do and what clients are paying for are the kind of replies that make you rethink how you talk about your own business. 🌟 Monrovia-Co — asked a genuinely useful question about personal vs business social following and brought the same honesty to a thread about staying motivated through rejection. Five likes says it landed. 🌟 Brand — shows up across hiring, sales, and operations with sharp, experience-backed replies. Their take on why cheap competitors might actually be your fault reframes the whole pricing conversation. 🌟 Janierucker — jumped into two threads most people scroll past: building trust as a woman in a male-dominated trade and government contracting. Both replies were thoughtful, specific, and worth reading. 🌟 Randy_Warner — answered a forgotten thread on getting Facebook leads into Jobber via Zapier with two setup options nobody had documented before, then dropped a Lead to Cash and Procure to Pay framework into an employee training thread that gave everyone a better starting point. Whether it’s starting a post or replying to a thread, these contributions matter more than you might realize. Thank you for showing up for the Home Service Community! 🙌
