How to Present Home Service Agreements Seemlessly
So we are in California and Home Service Agreements are a part of life. But did you know there is a place to put this in your contract so it covers your butt and your clients? At the bottom of your quotes there is a contract/ disclaimer section to put yours in easily. Do you have different types of jobs that require different disclaimers? Great - AnthonySalazar just did a post about templates. You can make a different contract for each one. One thing to consider - not everyone reads this. Kind of understandable. These are the not fun things about a job. One idea is to make a fun video about what's in it and send it to them when they accept a quote. Don't judge, we made this video a couple years ago but it's a good illustration of what you can do. Honestly you can make it on your phone Our Video on You Tube Another Idea is to have it as an attachment that you send out every time. This is less ideal because I like getting their signature on the document itself. Either way - make sure you are putting this in your quotes. If someone comes back to you about something that's in your contract you are covered!91Views3likes5CommentsHow do you manage quotes that never get accepted?
Hey everyone! I'm curious how you handle quotes that customers never respond to. Does Jobber's built-in follow-up automation do enough to bring those customers back, or do you still have to manually track unanswered quotes and chase leads? What part of the process do you find most frustrating? I'd be interested to hear what's working for you and what could be improved.327Views3likes29CommentsAre You Pricing Jobs for Profit or Just to Win the Job?
Quoting can be one of the toughest parts of running a small business. It’s easy to lower your price to beat the competition, but that doesn’t always lead to a healthy business. A good quote should cover your time, materials, expenses, and the value you provide. The goal isn’t to get every job, it’s to get the right jobs that allow your business to grow. What’s one thing that helped you improve your quoting process?Solved500Views2likes7CommentsJob Costing
We want to understand our gross margin on a line item basis. I see that when creating a quote, you can use a markup %. I can also see that when viewing a job, you can see the line item cost and price. First question...is there a setting so that when viewing a jobs line items, you can see the markup you used or the price you entered and the method used? Second question...when reviewing an invoice in draft mode, the line items with the markup is not viewable. Is it possible to see the cost and price for each line item in invoice?Solved337Views1like2Comments
