New to Jobber, Quotes including pictures worth it?
Hey guys, I wanted to hear your thoughts on jobber quotes not including pictures for estimates in the core package? We are a full service property maintenance & Landscaping company. Anybody switch from core to grow because of it? We have a small team but growing. Last crm did have this feature on their middle plan and our clients loved it. It was extempore helpful to us as well. Was wondering if this is something we should switch to that would make a huge difference?Client Communications
I would like to see space to log our own client communications - not in notes! For example, when we chase quote, we sometimes email but other times we call the client. Unfortunately there is no where to log that they were called including date and time unless i put it in the notes on the quote. Or the notes on client page, which then does not include the items sent via Jobber. It would be handy to have a communications area that we could add communications too that also included the quote number to so we could search and see only communications related to that particular quote. This feature would be particularly handy when dealing with property managers who have 10 sites in quote stage.Quoting for contract cleaning for Apartment Complexes
I’m currently looking to expand into contract cleaning for apartment complexes and would love to hear how others in the industry approach pricing and structuring these types of agreements. I understand that apartment contracts can vary a lot depending on factors like unit size, condition, frequency of service, and whether it’s turnover cleans, common areas, or full-property maintenance. I want to make sure I’m pricing competitively while still protecting my time, labor, and overall business profitability. For those of you with experience in this area: How do you typically structure your pricing for apartment complexes (per unit, hourly, or flat contract rate)? Do you offer different pricing for standard turns vs. deep cleans or heavily soiled units? How do you account for things like pet hair, excessive buildup, or damages when quoting? Do you build long-term contracts with set pricing, or adjust pricing based on each unit’s condition? What’s your approach to quoting common areas like hallways, offices, or laundry rooms? Do you require walkthroughs before giving a final quote, or provide estimates upfront? How do you ensure you’re not underbidding larger contracts? I’m especially interested in learning how to balance competitive pricing with maintaining high-quality, detailed work—since we focus more on deep, time-intensive cleaning rather than quick surface-level jobs. Any advice, examples, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!
