Are You Actually Making Money on Every Job, or Just Staying Busy?

If you aren't auditing your recurring jobs at least once a year, you’re essentially giving your clients an unearned discount while your supply, insurance, and payroll costs climb. We review our job times quarterly in Jobber. If a recurring clean consistently runs 20–30 minutes over the original bid, we reach out with a rate adjustment or reset the scope. Being "busy" 45 hours a week with thin margins just wears out your equipment, burns out your cleaners, and leaves you with nothing to show for it on payroll day.
