If Someone Gave You $1,000 for Business Tools, Where Would You Spend It?
Imagine you had $1,000 to invest back into your business tomorrow. Would you spend it on software, equipment, marketing, automation, training, or something else? What investment would create the biggest return for your business?1View0likes0CommentsShare your best Tool experience

So i had a brake and was watching reels and saw that Jobber offers a dedicated business phone number that lets customers text and call while keeping everything tied to your business. That's definitely A game changer 💪... For those of you using it: • Has it helped you win more customers? • Do clients respond more when they recognize your business number? • Is it better than using your personal cell phone or services like Google Voice? • Would you pay extra for this feature, or is it something every CRM should include?mims0112 days agoContributor 537Views1like0CommentsBuy a used truck now or wait until we can afford a new one?
We are a small Junk Removal company operating with a single truck. Our current dilemma is whether we should purchase a used truck now and put the extra money into repairs, or to wait a bit longer until we can afford a new truck that won't need repairs right off the lot. There's pros and cons to both options and we just can't decide.1.8KViews4likes17CommentsHow Can Small Businesses Build Partnerships with Equipment Manufacturers?
A lot of welding, fabrication, and equipment manufacturers seem to only reach out once someone already has millions of views and a massive following. When you contact them first, it can sometimes feel like you are immediately brushed aside as someone looking for free equipment. That is not always the case. Some of us are not looking for freebies. We want an opportunity to use the machine, put it through real work, create honest content, provide useful feedback, and prove whether the equipment is worth buying. Even a try-before-you-buy program, discounted demo unit, short-term equipment loan, or content partnership could benefit both sides. Personally, I reached out to around 40 different manufacturers. None of those initial cold contacts resulted in an actual offer. Most of the time, I ended up in a sales loop with salespeople repeatedly contacting me or adding me to their mailing lists. However, I do not consider those conversations a complete waste of time. They started building connections and put my business on their radar. I also learned that being honest and professional matters. The person you initially speak with may not be the one who gets to make those decisions. But once someone inside the company knows who you are, what you create, and what you can offer, it can open the door to future opportunities. I currently work with a few different companies, including Andeli, which makes welders, plasma cutters, and other welding equipment. Those relationships did not happen because I had millions of followers. They saw the content I was consistently creating around my business and reached out to me. I was able to show them that I could provide something of value in return. For those who have secured equipment sponsorships, demo opportunities, try-before-you-buy arrangements, or manufacturer partnerships, how did you make the first connection? What did you offer the company in return? Did follower count matter more than content quality, industry experience, audience trust, or the ability to provide useful product feedback?SolvedMetalRelic16 days agoContributor 451Views1like3CommentsWhat Equipment Should a Small Landscaping Business Invest in First When Starting Out?
Hi everyone! One thing I’ve committed to since starting Mowing With A Purpose Landscaping is reinvesting back into my business whenever I can. Recently, I was able to get my Ferris back up and running, which was a huge win. Along the way, I’ve also been building out my Echo PAS-225 system with attachments like the edger, blower, tiller/cultivator, chainsaw, and pole saw. Having one powerhead with multiple attachments has been a great way to expand the services I can offer while keeping costs manageable. I also recently purchased a Gravely mower, and now I’m trying to decide how to best use both machines. Would you: Make the newer Gravely your primary mower and keep the Ferris as a backup? Continue running the Ferris as your main workhorse and save the Gravely for backup? Rotate both throughout the week to balance wear and tear? I’d also love to hear what equipment has been the biggest game-changer for your business. If you could recommend one piece of equipment every landscaper should invest in early, what would it be and why? I’m always looking to learn from those who’ve been in the industry longer. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! — Elisha Mowing With A Purpose Landscaping 🌱💪Purposefamily28 days agoContributor 410Views0likes0Comments
