Hey everyone,
Sometimes it's not the massive equipment purchases that transform your day—it's the small, $20–$50 setup tweaks, quick-connect upgrades, or staging habits that shave 15 minutes off every job site setup and teardown.
What is one small equipment tweak, tool modification, or rig setup change you made that ended up saving you hours over the course of a season?
JOBBER!
When starting my own company was just a dream, I knew what others were spending on a good CRM, or at least what they cost. I thought I could cut that cost and just do it all by hand on paper, or get my brother in-law to make me some Microsoft Forms thing to get it done. I didn't need to spend that much each month on a fancy software like this.
I quickly realized there was no way! Jobber is a tool and I think I can lay about 70% of my success on the shoulders of Jobber, I wouldn't be where I am without it. A lot of my customer say how professional the quotes and invoices are, how inspectors like my reports and checklists, and just how over all professional everything is. I love that it comes with a website builder, an online request form and a client hub. It is the best money I spend each month and happy to have that expense.
Some people are shocked that a small operation like mine can have such a professional customer facing look and I do not take that for granted at all.
That is a great strategy. Being prepared and organized it's a definite set up for a win. Failure to prepare and organize is preparing yourself for failure. Thanks for your feedback!!!
For me, the biggest time-saver has been treating the back of my vehicle like a small mobile workstation. I keep gloves, waste bags, sanitizer, replacement tools, and other supplies in designated places so I can arrive, grab what I need, and begin working without reorganizing between every stop.
It seems like a minor change, but when you complete a full route with multiple properties, saving even a few minutes at each stop adds up quickly. The more organized my vehicle is before I leave home, the smoother and more professional the entire day feels.
