Best Jobber Automations
I just wanted to get a post going for these. They can be super powerful in your business and I feel like they don't get talked about enough sometimes. What are your best Jobber automations you have set up?? I really enjoy dashboards myself that give more custom information about my business. I like to use Airtable / Asana / Zapier. Cheers !Virtual assistant
Sorry if this is a repeat post. I did some searching on here and didn’t find what I’m asking. I keep hearing about virtual assistants used for service pros. I’m a 1 man show right now trying to delete and automate as much as possible to leave room for growth and expansion. I heard virtual assistants can help with a number of task. Does anyone have a company they refer or use? What has been the feed back?How has that helped utilizing a VA and Jobber together? Thank you !
Best way to handle inbound calls to company line?
Curious yalls thoughts. Looking to not just grow, looking to scale and improve / continue to implement systems. Currently have myself, 1 outside sales rep, and field labor crew (fence install company) current process: customer calls into company # (my cell phone). I try to answer as if it were an office line to answer asap. From that, I confirm I can Text them, I then send a request form via jobber that has basic info / few questions to answer. If / when they fill it out, I add to the schedule for a confirmed day / time to quote on site. etc…… I feel this part is a lot of back and forth, and until I have an in house admin office worker that can answer these calls the first ring - I won’t be able to truly grow / stay efficient. (If I’m tied up, I don’t like calling them back 2 hours later, etc) but also - I love having them fill out the form bc the way I have questions on it, it turns it from a warm lead, to a warmer lead. Any way to streamline this, get more efficient, improve this current process? ANY thoughts or advice - real thankful.

We run a lawn care service where we provide weekly and biweekly service to clients. We bill upon completion of the job and after 2 unpaid invoices will suspend their service schedule until the client account has been settled in full. About 95% of clients do pay up their accounts but then we go on to chasing down those same people nearly every month. I am the bookkeeper and in 2026 I'm proposing that we dismiss several of these delinquent clients but I would like to be sure I communicate the message in a polite way and am able to combat any arguments or negative reviews that may come from this conversation. Has anyone else dealt with this and what were your steps to notify the client that you will no longer be providing service for them next season? Is it a phone call, email, or both?Building Trust Through Transparency
In my experience, being transparent with clients has helped build trust and long-term relationships. For example, I always make it a point to explain any potential delays or changes upfront. How do you ensure transparency in your communication with clients? What impact has this had on your business relationships?What are your biggest questions you have about using AI in your business?
