Additional Services-what to charge
Good morning, I am a new business, about two years old. I have mostly stuck with my basic services of Lawn Mowing, edging, trimming and blowing everything clean. However, i recently rebranded and updated a list of new service. Mulch jobs and flower bed weed clean out, so Weed and bed Maintenance. My question, how do you all quote mulch jobs or weed clean out like this? I have searched only and see so many different ways, figured i would ask here. Just looking for tips and tricks.
What is a good Business Credit Card to have for our line of work?
Hey Jobbers: I'm in the 7th month of business and things are going quite well, but I've been thinking of trying to get my purchases to work of me. Often times credit cards will give perks for cash back or rewards points depending on the purchases that one makes. In our line of work, purchases are pretty out of the norm to other business on a day-to-day basis. I've been doing some research of different programs, but the ranked lists seem to be sponsored by banks, like usual. Hard to trust biased articles. I was wondering if anyone had personal experience/ good recommendations for a credit card that is geared towards Home Services/Handyman companies. Thanks in advance, Think N Tinker
Acorn Integration?
We use enhancify. We considered Wisetack. However, we require down payments and don't like that payment gets released after work gets completed. We stumbled across Acorn and saw they integrate with HouseCall Pro. On their quotes, they offer a monthly finance rate the customer could get if they used Acorn (estimated rate of course). Is this a possible integration in the future, or is there something similar? tiaPricing, Profits, and Financing What Works for You?”
Running a business isn’t just about doing the work — it’s about knowing your numbers. I’ve been working on refining my pricing strategies, making sure my profit margins are healthy, and figuring out when it’s time to hire a financial expert to help. How do you guys manage your finances? Do you have someone helping with taxes or strategy, or are you handling it all yourself?”*
Tracking sales which report invoices or visits?
I have a quick question. Which report do you use to track your montly sales? Invoice Reports shows the sales taxes which won't be counted as part of sales (at least in the USA) and Visits report don't include taxes. When comparing both they don't match and I see the difference is not the sales taxes. Any idea?
