What is your plan for the Jobber Grant?

I kind of got funneled into this community applying for the Jobber Grant.  If I was fortunate enough to be selected, I would utilize the larger grant to upgrade my garage/shop to be efficient and usable.  Currently its just stuffed full and unorganized, cold in the wisconsin winters.  Iwould like to expand into hiring employee(s), but just need to grow the business base a little more.   The smaller grants, I would invest into equipment. I recently got into fire extinguishers and fire alarms, the equipment to service them is really expensive. 

What a wonderful program for Jobber to promote and give back to bluecollar service providers!   I am currently not a customer, I am locked into another platform for the year, but this program makes me want to support a company that partners and supports its customers, even if I am not selected as one of the fortunate few that will benefit from Jobber this year. 

Hey everyone! We are an eco-friendly cleaning crew serving North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. It has been a wild first year, growing from 1 to 15 repeat houses and doubling our team to 4 people.

If we are lucky enough to win, we are looking at some smart growth. We want to put those funds toward better, more reliable vacuums and basic equipment upgrades. We are not looking for anything crazy, just the solid gear we need to hit our 50 house goal.

Our biggest priority is our team. We want to invest in leadership training and a real marketing push so our staff can move into supervisor roles with total job security. For us, it is all about growing the right way. We eventually want to add a hybrid company car to keep our mountain air clean while making sure our crew has long-term careers, not just a job!

I’d use the grant to get updated equipment to better serve my community 

I would definitely put as much as I needed into training for those that do the bee removals for me but also training for the pest control companies we work with. 

I would put money towards honeybee/pollinator awareness and try and secure some larger partners, whether that be pest control or any other relationship that could promote awareness.

We are deeply thankful for this opportunity and what it could mean for our business and community. Thank you, Jobber team!

After finding success in the residential cleaning market, we are eager to take the next step and break into the commercial cleaning industry. Our current equipment, however, is holding us back from fully making that leap. This grant would not only allow our family business to grow and evolve, but it would also create opportunities that extend beyond our business, touching the lives of those right here in our local community.

As a new business focused on ensuring our customers have a 5-star experience from start to finish, our expensive equipment is letting us down on occasions. We are fortunate that our customer focused approach from our first interaction, the details throughout the assessment, and our dedication to effective communication has resulted in a deep customer understanding when our aging equipment fails on the job and requires repairs. As grateful as I am for the understanding my customers provide, it's professionally embarrassing, and costly. So, we would definitely purchase new/newer equipment to allow us to fully provide our customers that 5-star experience that they deserve. 

I am looking to add equipment in order to raise revenue.

I applied for the Jobber grant too. If I get it, I’m putting the whole thing into a decent truck and a few pieces of real equipment — right now I’m still using my personal vehicle and borrowing stuff. That’ll let me take on bigger jobs and look more professional when I pull up. After that, whatever’s left is going straight into marketing so I can actually fill the schedule. Anyone else got a different plan for the money?

I would buy the land i already have the land from people in my family and put containers on it and feed and house veterans and people who is need with a income and take care of those people w/cleaners and caregiver 

I will use it to strengthen my operations by buying new/better equipment, expand services, hire and train more people.
