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.

About to post some on local Facebook groups, is there any additional advice for adding customers but keeping it local and personal.

What’s the best way to manage and track leads in Jobber?
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!!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
A win that reinforced why we do what we do
We promoted two of our long-time cleaners into leadership roles and I swear it almost made me cry lol. Both are immigrant women who started with us years ago, and seeing them step into management (and making more $$ + having real career paths) just reminded me why I even started doing this biz in the first place. It’s not perfect growth, we mess things up all the time, but moments like this keep me going.
