Crash Reconstruction: A Critical Field Service for Truth and Safety
Crash reconstruction may not be the first service people think about, but it plays an important role in safety, accountability, and helping people move forward after serious vehicle incidents. At Crodymi LLC, I provide mobile crash investigation support, vehicle black box/EDR data retrieval, diagnostics, and forensic analysis to help determine what happened in a collision. That work can help attorneys, insurers, businesses, and individuals make informed decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork. What I value most about this field is that it combines hands-on technical work, problem-solving, and service. Sometimes that means traveling to inspect a vehicle, preserving critical data, documenting evidence, or helping explain complex findings in a way clients can understand. In many cases, accurate reconstruction can make a real difference in resolving disputes, improving safety awareness, and supporting fair outcomes. I would love to connect with other Jobber community members who provide field-based or technical services. What are some of the biggest challenges you face in building trust with clients when your work is highly specialized?How can I re-build my business from ground zero?
Hi my name is Jeremy Lesser, I am the Business Owner/CEO of a small residential painting and home improvements business. I have been in business since 2022. After about a year or so of being in business, I about called it quits and started doing Maintenance Engineering. Well having my own business doing what I love to do the most which is drywall and painting, has been a dream of mine since I first started doing drywall and painting 15+ years ago. I want my business to succeed. I have a perpetual LLC. for my business, so I would like to build my business back and Lord willing watch it grow this time. I have more patience and knowledge in it. How can I build my business with zero income and zero revenue? I have been applying for grants. Please help! Thank you and God Bless. ~Jeremy Lesser~
Would You Use This?
Hey, I'm sure we all use the same marketing tools to send to our customers, but to be honest, that's not actually building any sort of relationship. I myself get them and delete them. Money on the table is when a customer does not come back, remember you, or gets sick of the marketing. Enter something radically different. Ever heard of relationship automation? I'll give you an example. Current SMS/Email: "Hey Mike! Just a friendly reminder — we're running a spring AC special. 15% off if you book this week!" — Jerry, Acme Plumbing (our customers delete this) Relationship Automation: "Hey Mike! Did you see the Broncos schedule just dropped? They open at home Sept 7 — here's the link if you want to grab tickets early: broncos.com/schedule" — Jerry, Acme Plumbing That will BLOW their minds and they will forward that, refer work, etc. Another example? "Hi Sarah! Time for your annual tune-up. Book now and save 10%! →" - Mike, Comfort Air HVAC "Hey Sarah! How's Cooper settling in? Found this great puppy training guide specifically for goldens — a friend swore by it: akc.org/golden-puppy-guide" — Mike, Comfort Air HVAC I'd love to know your thoughts. Traditional marketing is dead. This is next-level stuff that has real ROI.
Marketing for a Growing Landscaping Company (When You’re Still Wearing All the Hats)
For those running small-to-mid size landscaping companies (especially maintenance-heavy businesses), how are you handling marketing as you grow? I’ve been managing ours in-house due to my convenient design background, but between operations and crew management it’s becoming unsustainable—especially when it comes to SEO and lead generation for higher-value projects (which I have less experience with) Are you outsourcing to a freelancer/agency, or hiring in-house? And at what point did that investment start to make sense for you? Do you have any recommendations for Canadian companies?What are some unique ways you’re using Jobber email campaigns for?
I need to be more intentional with client newsletters, and we only seem to use the email campaigns when trying to fill the schedule. Our office manager has been working on an automated email campaign for lost leads. I’m curious to hear what others are using it for!
