Up Your Follow-Up Game & Win!
I hear a lot of business owners and leaders talking about "getting leads". Don't get me wrong, leads are important. However, what you do with those leads is more important. When you get a lead, how long does it take you to reach out and make contact? Did you know that your chances of closing that lead as a customer drop drastically if you do not make contact in the first minute or two, in many cases. Your customers are able to click and learn about your competitors very rapidly. If you are failing at "speed to lead", you are likely missing clients. How many times do you follow up? For how long? I suggest following up "until you get a solid yes or no". That lead is a client until they prove themselves otherwise. The only way you know they are not a client, is to hear that actually say "no, I am not interested". Until you get that no, they are still a potential yes. If it takes 10 follow-ups or a year, keep trying. You never know if that potential client has had a change in life condition that makes your services more or less relevant over time. Don't give up. Follow up on your leads. And don't just text ..... GET ON THE PHONE!
If Facebook and Instagram Are Linked, Will Posting from Jobber Automatically Cross-Post to Both?
Hi, I am aware that the marketing feature within Jobber will help us automate posts to Facebook and Google. However, I was curious if anyone can confirm, if my Facebook and IG are setup to automatically cross post, will posting to Facebook from Jobber pass that post over to IG as well? Thanks!Can we have somewhere in this community where we can network with Pros in our general area?
I think it would be awesome to have access to Pros in our own countries, provinces or cities! I am always looking to send work to qualified Pros and would love to be able to have almost an online rolodex of guys around me to refer!

Jobber Payments, Two Way Text / Text Message Invoice (Australia)
Hi Jobber, I just want to say that Jobber is a great program and I'm very happy with all the features currently offered to Australian users! It's certainly the best program I've used so far and will happily recommend it to industry professionals. There's a couple of things that we're missing here in Australia that are critical for running a service based business that are standard for most CRM offerings. I've listed them below; Two Way text messaging / invoicing Jobber Payments (Trying to integrate Zapier to do these things is quite difficult and time consuming and doesn't always work. There's a huge market of tradies / business owners who I know would transition from their current platforms to Jobber Australia if these things were added). I certainly don't want to stop using Jobber but I really don't have any other options at this point unless these features are added so that we can streamline invoicing, secure payment methods / bill post job completion, along with in house text messaging. Australia is a big market for trade professionals and there's currently platforms life ServiceM8 and Tradify that offer these services but their interface is old and clunky. Can you provide a date as to when Jobber will be adding these services (Two Way Text Messaging, Text Message Invoices & Jobber Payments etc.) in Australia? Thankyou, Kristian (MowLocal)
Marketplace Integration
Hi I'm Tom, I'm new here and am having difficulties with Facebook Market Place. I don't have an advertising budget yet. I'm too small and sales are not consistent or regular enough. My clients rave about products, build, quality and price. I've been posting and relying on word of mouth for sales. I can't figure out how to promote my products or make a business page. Am I barking up the wrong tree. I'm local in the East Valley. Should I be starting in a different direction?Did you use Jobber to create your website?
First off, I cant believe that you can make such an impressive and professional looking website with Jobber, and also cant believe that its completely free with your subscription! I get comments on it all the time that it is clean, professional and useful. I did put a lot of work into it to make it that way, but Jobber made it so easy. I have said it before, but I am a caveman when it comes to technology. If I can figure this website design out, anyone with fingers and a pulse can figure it out! Are you using the Jobber website builder? Did you find any tricks or tips you can pass along to help others add something special to their site?
