Cancellation report
So apparently there is no report to run that shows cancelled/unscheduled jobs in a given time period. Has anyone else asked for this feature? I just asked customer service to submit as a requested feature - hopefully, it's fast-tracked as I can't see how this isn't available. Has anyone found some way with zapier to track your canceled jobs and their values so you can track that metric?165Views2likes6CommentsHow To Track Commission Plans in Your Business for Jobber
Hi Everyone, I run a lawncare/landscaping business and more recently started Crew Insight (A Jobber marketplace App). Right now, the app is focused on KPI's and metrics but many of our users have asked about commission tracking. We've built out a small MVP and a waitlist to see how we can prioritize features and the roll out. I'd love to hear what types of commission plans people have right now, and how they're tracking it. We want to make it simple to build out your commission plan, track the calculations, and give your employees a real time view into their performance. If anyone's interested in chatting or signing up for the beta, you can do so here: https://crew-insight.com/waitlist95Views1like1CommentImproving Jobber's Online Booking for a Cleaning Business
Hey everyone, I love using Jobber for my cleaning business, but I’m finding the online booking functionality a bit lacking. We’re losing potential clients and wasting ad spend because customers can't book instantly online. While we always respond quickly to inquiries, the inability to offer instant booking is really hurting us. We provide a range of services—End of Lease, General Home Cleaning, Airbnb Cleaning (based on the number of rooms, bathrooms, etc.)—and have optional extras like oven cleaning and linen hire. Setting all this up in Jobber's online booking system has been a nightmare! I know some of our competitors use platforms like Booking Koala or Launch27, but I really don’t want to switch. Has anyone found a good workaround within Jobber or a solution that works for similar businesses? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!1.2KViews6likes32CommentsSweat equity
Building a pressure washing business with sweat equity. I've been leaving flyers and tear aways at local businesses. About to post some on local Facebook groups, is there any additional advice for adding customers but keeping it local and personal. I am hoping to build a locally recognized company... patriot Pressure Washing, PPW!556Views8likes10CommentsAre you profiting more from one-time services or recurring contracts? How do you know?
Over the past year, our business has grown into a predominantly recurring-revenue model, with nearly 90% of our monthly income coming from weekly, biweekly, and monthly clients. While one-time cleans (like move-ins/outs and deep cleans) often bring in higher ticket prices upfront, we’ve intentionally prioritized recurring clients because they create long-term stability, stronger client relationships, and more predictable scheduling for our technicians. That said, we’ve noticed that one-time cleans play a powerful role as an entry point into our ecosystem—they’re often the first experience that converts into a recurring client. Now, as we scale toward $3M and expand into new markets, we’re looking more closely at: Profit margins by service type Customer lifetime value (LTV) from recurring vs one-time Conversion rates from one-time → recurring We want to better understand not just which service brings in more revenue, but which one truly drives profitability, retention, and sustainable growth—so we can refine our pricing, marketing, and sales strategy accordingly.23Views0likes1CommentRoll Call!

You’re not losing jobs to competitors you’re losing them in your follow-up. Most HVAC businesses I’ve seen don’t have a lead problem… they have a system problem: missed calls, no follow-ups, and zero tracking. The ones scaling consistently are doing 3 things right: Capturing every lead in a CRM Automating follow-ups (SMS/email) Running simple local campaigns that bring repeat jobs Curious what system are you currently using to track and convert your leads?
