Hi! I have searched all throughout old conversations to try and see if anyone else has run into the same challenge I'm currently facing and read some good advice but I wanted to see if anyone had anything new to add. I'm looking for a way to actually track leads, whether that be in jobber with request titles, tags, or custom fields OR integrating a whole separate lead management software. I don't like leads to stay in the new request stage until an assessment is schedule as I do not provide in home estimates. Does anyone have any workarounds they use in jobber for better tracking lead stages and a better system to track when you need to call, text, follow up etc. Or if you found a better integration option. Thank you!!
How do you handle unreliable employees in a home service business?
Hello! I run a Home Remodeling & Handyman business, and we're excited to share that we've recently expanded to include a Cleaning Division. We've noticed that in our area, many folks are eager for jobs but sometimes lack the commitment to follow through. How do you navigate this challenge? We've already offered competitive pay, which is quite high for our area, yet issues like poor communication, missed appointments, and subpar work still pop up. I'm curious to hear how others have managed similar situations and what strategies you've found effective—whether it's offering career growth opportunities, enforcing strict communication policies, or even increasing wages further. Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

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 KlevjerIndustry virtual networking starting March 17

Hey everyone, Rafael here, running a residential cleaning operation in McKinney & Allen, TX. Hiring reliable cleaning technicians is one of our biggest bottlenecks right now and I'd love to hear what's working for others in the community. We've been using Indeed and local Facebook Groups, but I have receive few number of people interested. A few things I'm curious about: 1. Are there platforms or channels you've had real success with for recruiting cleaners? 2. Do you run any employee referral programs to source new hires through your existing team? 3. Has anyone had luck with church networks, community boards, or local platforms in their market? Any tips? Would love to hear what's actually working in your market. Thanks in advance! Rafael Andrade
