Jobber + Gusto users: How are you handling digital tips from clients without losing your mind?
Hey everyone, I’m researching a massive headache in the home service space and wanted to see how you guys handle it. If you use Jobber (or Housecall Pro) and Gusto, and your technicians regularly get digital tips from clients: How are you splitting and paying those tips out? I've been told that since the FSMs don't sync tips to Gusto payroll automatically, owners are spending hours every week matching invoice payments to dispatch logs, running the math on spreadsheets, and typing them in by hand. Is this actually a headache for your business, or is there an easy workaround I don't know about? If you have multi-technician crews, how do you handle the math (equal split, hours worked, etc.)? Does this get even messier if you use 1099 contractors? Not selling anything—just trying to understand if this is a real problem worth solving or if people have already figured out a simple way to do it. Thanks!

I recently started my mobile mechanic business with my personal vehicle and tools. Ive had jobs here and there but i was wondering is there a way to get my name out there or tips you would give me to help me out. Im stuck in a position where i dont know how to move forward and growing my business and clienteleWhat are the best business coaching programs for home service business owners?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a residential construction/remodeling coaching program with systems, daily operations, hiring etc? Looking for a program that you have had personal success with. Thank you in advance!Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
I heard this quote recently and wanted to share with everyone in the hope it has the same effect on their mindset as it did on me. I have been thinking about this nonstop since it landed on me. It changed my entire way of thinking about my day to day work. I think this saying is so important to keep in mind everyday when you are running a business. Rushing and cramming is never going to make you faster or more efficient in the long run. Its only going to slow you down and cause you to fumble and fall. Sure there are times when we need to get things done quickly but that should never take away from quality of work and completing things that need doing. Slow down and smooth things out, this will only increase your speed and efficiency.
I Just Got my First Commercial Client
I started off seriously reaching out 2 weeks ago for my cleaning business. After designing my flyers and card, I started making the calls and sharing flyers at show homes, construction sites and other business. I walked in into a clinic and as we got talking, I focused on what I could over pointing out areas I could improve in cleaning. I was given a chance to do a one time deep clean and I nailed it. Contract for subsequent cleaning signed for a year. Very excited!!!!What's a creative or out-of-the box way you improved your business while short on cash?
