Well you already took the first step by getting Jobber - it's the easiest way to appear bigger than what you are when you have automations etc.
To get more reach, early on I was a big fan of pay per lead platforms like Thumbtack. This helps get money coming in and is easier to track if it's worth it or not. I remember spending $100-$150 on leads to make $1500-$2000 in a week. I was stoked on that! Keep your price low till you get enough reviews then give yourself a little bit of a raise. I'm not saying be crazy cheap but be on the lower end until you have enough reviews to give you the credibility of charging more.
Man, I appreciate that. I’m in a similar spot right now. I work a full-time job during the week and run Latiolais’ Lawn Co. evenings and weekends. Some days are definitely long, but hearing from people who’ve made that jump gives me a lot of motivation.
I’ve grown my recurring customer base by about 380% since my first season, so I know the hard work is paying off. Right now I’m focused on staying consistent, taking care of my customers, and building something that lasts. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, brother.
