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!
How 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.
Need help with getting your outstanding invoices paid?
Hey Jobber friends, I wanted to share something that’s been a game-changer for service businesses (and law firms, CPAs, and more) and could save you from those awkward “just checking in on that invoice” emails. I’m with CollBox, and we help small businesses get paid on their past-due invoices without damaging customer relationships. Think of us as your invoice clean-up crew. We are not a collections agency. So you maintain positive relationships with your clients. We connect directly to your QuickBooks, Stripe etc., find your unpaid invoices, and work to recover them while you focus on running the business. The best part? No collections horror stories. We’re professional, polite, and brand-safe and based in North America. You only pay when we collect (all fees are in USD). You get your cash flow back without extra admin work. If late payments have been slowing you down, happy to share how other Jobber users have used CollBox to get paid faster. Has anyone here tried outsourcing collections before? How did it go for you?
