PROPERTY BASED PRICING

Changing pricing across the board is very time consuming.

a few requests.

Let the service and product catalog create a proper pricing matrix, to allow mass changes.

Example: i do lawn care. after tracking everything and running the numbers i charge by sq ft. of the entire property. (factors in the trimming time better than just the lawn size) there are tiers for the pricing 

0-10999 $50

11000-12999 $53 and .001 for ea sq ft over the min

13000-14999 $55 and .002501 for ea sq ft over the min

etc etc etc. Im **bleep** about the numbers and almost every time i don't follow the formula i will lose money. 

What im looking for is something like this for the product catalog.

You open up the the catalog and either put a blanket price on it that always populates or build that service or products pricing matrix, that then pulls whatever it needs from the clients page in my case property sq ft. runs it through the pricing matrix and spits out the number for that particular service. and yes we can always change it individually when needed byt this would put the pricing in the ballpark. and when sending out renewal letters, this cuts down hours and hours of work as its in house. 

when you need to change the pricing as everything goes up or down, you go adjust the pricing matrix, not every single clients page.

For my treatment side of things, the lawn size is what matters, so the matrix would pull that number off the client page. I do christmas lights, i charge per linear foot as a baseline. it pulls that. 

this is about speeding up quotes going out especially in mass. 

Basically the sales book of this is what we charge for xyz the sales guy needs to price consistently compared to the other sales guy its in house and not on some seperate excel sheet outside of the CRM.

    I can definitely relate to this from the mobile detailing side. Vehicle size, condition, and the services being requested can make pricing all over the place. Having a pricing matrix built into the CRM would make it much easier to quote consistently without having to calculate everything manually or keep a separate spreadsheet. It would also help make sure we’re actually charging enough to cover our time and materials while keeping pricing consistent as we grow.

    I know this is an old post but I thought I'd share what has helped us facilitate quick quoting.

    We have utilized the custom fields options in Jobber to add a Grass sqft. option to each property. When we **bleep**/measure we put the measurement info there. The info in the custom field shows up on everything related to that client from that point forward. Let's say 37,000 sqft for this example.

    Our mowing line item is setup where each 1 quantity = 1,000 sqft. When we create a quote, we just pop 37 into the quantity (since we can see the custom field of 37,000 sqft on the quote creation page) and we have our price for that property.

    Hey Blueskies! 

    Thank you for the suggestion. I can see how this feature would be beneficial to you and other landscaping businesses. Jobber has an integration with DeepLawn, I think could be helpful for you in this case. The integration is designed to display and access your client's square footage directly on the quote, saving you time. Deep Lawn uses automatic AI measurements of lawns, homes, driveways, and walkways. All client information and square footage estimates sync automatically to Jobber so you don't have to worry about recording it manually. Here is more information on how it works. 

    Another tool I believe can help you here is our new pricebook integration with Home Depot. It is still in beta testing, but you can request to join the lab! Here is the information on that.  

    I really hope this information helps, if you have questions please contact our Success Team, 888-721-1115 ext 1 or email mailto:[email protected].
