This month had a recurring thread running through the best conversations: what it actually costs to run a business: in time, money, and everything in between. These five members had something real to say about it. 👇 MoisesCabriales — for not being afraid to ask. Questions like "How to get HVAC customers when starting out with little to no marketing budget?" are exactly the convos more people are thinking about but not starting. Keep them coming. michael090 — for bringing sharp, actionable advice without the fluff. Their breakdown of how to push margins from 20% to 30% and their reply reframing lead struggles as a follow-up system problem are the kind of responses that make threads worth reading twice. MendenhallCtrg — for starting one of the most substantive threads this month. Their post on pricing from actual business costs (not competitor rates) and their reply in the parental leave thread was the kind of honest, been-there answer that's hard to come by. OdHoneyBee — for the most unexpected AI use case of the month. Using AI for bee species identification to cut down on misrouted calls is a great reminder that the best tools solve your specific problem, not someone else's. StandingonGrace — for jumping in with both feet. From sharing a practical take on quoting in the cleaning industry to opening up about the personal story behind starting Crown Dominion Cleaning, they're bringing the kind of range that makes a community feel real. Drop a comment to give these members some love — and if you've been sitting on a question or a story, this is your sign to post it. 👇United States Construction Industry Foundation, Inc.

This month's spotlight goes to five members who brought real substance to the community through original posts, thoughtful replies, and the kind of experience-backed insight that makes this space genuinely valuable. threerelectric 👉 for jumping in with a specific, field-tested answer on tracking material costs as an electrical contractor. Short, practical, and exactly the kind of reply that helps other trades pros protect their margins. TurfT 👉 for sharing what they've actually built, not just what they think. Their post walking through a streamlined client enrollment workflow using Jobber, Stripe, and Zapier is a great example of the kind of practical contribution that helps everyone level up. OrdoniaB 👉 for bringing a client-first perspective to a thread about handling budget gaps in roofing. Thanks for laying out a clear, honest approach built on transparency. Your approach helps build trust with clients and credibility. ZacRadcat 👉 for going above and beyond to share knowledge with the community this month. They posted several detailed breakdowns of business books like The E-Myth Revisited and Profit First, connecting the core ideas directly to the realities of running a home service company. These aren't just summaries, they're starting points for real conversation. JHTS 👉 for consistently showing up in threads with detailed, experience-based replies. Running a tree services company in the UK, they shared a candid look at how bringing on an admin and building out systems in Jobber transformed how their business operates, from field safety forms to scheduling and lead tracking.

But Are You Taking Advantage of it?
This is the era of the blue collar business owner. Demand is strong, job sizes are growing, and the economy needs you more than ever. BUT there's a widening gap between businesses that are pulling ahead and those just keeping up, and it comes down to the tools they use. 88% of fully-booked, high-growth businesses are using AI in their day-to-day operations. Only 27% of struggling ones are. 64% of pros under 30 are already using AI and they're applying it across invoicing (61%), quoting (55%), marketing (55%), and more. 👉 A new 2026 Home Service Trends Report breaks down exactly what top performers are doing differently: pricing, lead gen, response times, and more. Where do you think your business falls? Are you keeping up, or pulling ahead?
