Crash Reconstruction: A Critical Field Service for Truth and Safety
Crash reconstruction may not be the first service people think about, but it plays an important role in safety, accountability, and helping people move forward after serious vehicle incidents. At Crodymi LLC, I provide mobile crash investigation support, vehicle black box/EDR data retrieval, diagnostics, and forensic analysis to help determine what happened in a collision. That work can help attorneys, insurers, businesses, and individuals make informed decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork. What I value most about this field is that it combines hands-on technical work, problem-solving, and service. Sometimes that means traveling to inspect a vehicle, preserving critical data, documenting evidence, or helping explain complex findings in a way clients can understand. In many cases, accurate reconstruction can make a real difference in resolving disputes, improving safety awareness, and supporting fair outcomes. I would love to connect with other Jobber community members who provide field-based or technical services. What are some of the biggest challenges you face in building trust with clients when your work is highly specialized?
Would You Use This?
Hey, I'm sure we all use the same marketing tools to send to our customers, but to be honest, that's not actually building any sort of relationship. I myself get them and delete them. Money on the table is when a customer does not come back, remember you, or gets sick of the marketing. Enter something radically different. Ever heard of relationship automation? I'll give you an example. Current SMS/Email: "Hey Mike! Just a friendly reminder — we're running a spring AC special. 15% off if you book this week!" — Jerry, Acme Plumbing (our customers delete this) Relationship Automation: "Hey Mike! Did you see the Broncos schedule just dropped? They open at home Sept 7 — here's the link if you want to grab tickets early: broncos.com/schedule" — Jerry, Acme Plumbing That will BLOW their minds and they will forward that, refer work, etc. Another example? "Hi Sarah! Time for your annual tune-up. Book now and save 10%! →" - Mike, Comfort Air HVAC "Hey Sarah! How's Cooper settling in? Found this great puppy training guide specifically for goldens — a friend swore by it: akc.org/golden-puppy-guide" — Mike, Comfort Air HVAC I'd love to know your thoughts. Traditional marketing is dead. This is next-level stuff that has real ROI.
Marketing for a Growing Landscaping Company (When You’re Still Wearing All the Hats)
For those running small-to-mid size landscaping companies (especially maintenance-heavy businesses), how are you handling marketing as you grow? I’ve been managing ours in-house due to my convenient design background, but between operations and crew management it’s becoming unsustainable—especially when it comes to SEO and lead generation for higher-value projects (which I have less experience with) Are you outsourcing to a freelancer/agency, or hiring in-house? And at what point did that investment start to make sense for you? Do you have any recommendations for Canadian companies?Marketing Funnels - What are you using?
I'm starting to use a Go High Level service called Snipey leads and it has a lot of capabilities for marketing funnels. I know jobber has automations around quotes, jobs etc. Those are great - but what I'm looking for is what are some of your favorite funnels you have set up right now that have been successful in your business? Or do you have a nurture campaign set up you'd be willing to share. I'm looking at setting up an IG "comment this" for XX amount off your next job or something but I want it to be valuable. One that I've had set up with Chiirp (but will be switching soon) is following up with their job after 30 then 90 days. Checking in to make sure everything is looking good and seeing if they have any questions on their install.What 3rd Party SMS service do folks use for sending mass / bulk texts to their clients?
What 3rd Party SMS service do folks use for sending mass / bulk texts to their clients? Last month we ran a promotion and marketed it via 4 social media posts and two email sends. Then, we supplemented the campaign with sending SMS messages to our clients from the client re-engagement report. 3 of us divided up the report and pasted the message in the Jobber text thread, changed the first name of the recipient and sent it off to about 600 clients out of ~5,000. It took 3 days... No, not 8 hours a day, we had other things on our list. And when someone responded positively to our message asking for a quote our service manager would go into quote/sales mode while we kept sending. It was brain numbing, but effective. For February, which historically only brings in half or less of the revenue we make during a typical in-season month we almost doubled it. It was our best February ever. The takeaway: Texting works (when done right). For the time it took it will be worth it to spend money on a third party service and press send once, instead of 600 times. So, please share your experience with bulk SMS services- good, bad, meh... I would love to know. Thanks! ~Kyle Klevjer
What are you doing right now to make the phone ring for your business?
what is your go to advertisements or sales tactics to get lead generation? We have been in business for over 17 years now servicing the Tampa bay area and this year has hit us the hardest. I am an isa certified arborist and I do engage in networking and community events but despite our best efforts we are still experiencing a lack of leads. I don't want to just throw money at the wall but we are running out of options. what are some things that are working for you?
How can Jobber help me grow my business?
I am a fairly new business and I am still finishing the detail of my operations. I have been using the basic plan from Jobber for my bookings but I did not find myself using the Marketing suite very much when I first purchased a plan. I believe it is because I was still figuring out how to run my business operations. My question is, what is the best marketing move for me to do as a relatively new business owner using Jobber with limited resources like funds and a small client base.
Campaigns Update
When making campaigns is there a way to build a campaign that spans multiple weeks and dates. As of now its just a bunch of emails which isn't bad. But if thats the case, it would be nice to have another column with the scheduled send date if applicable. and would be nice if we could name that particular email with the campaign name. Like right now im doing a push to capture returning customers. I have about 6-10 emails going out. But i have another which focuses on captureing christmas light customers into the mowing divsion. they are not the same emails and do have a different tone and focus. not a big deal but helps keep things organized.
