Seeking ideas for developing power partnerships to better work with clients & grow our biz?!!
Hi all, We are a local fire protection company here in Los Angeles and we do both sales and service of fire extinguishers, as well as specialty fire equipment and resources. I am putting this question out there both for connections and suggestions on best developing power partnership with other local companies that work with residences, properties and businesses, to help collaborate on our services provided and add more value to them and more revenue to both partners. Example of our power partners are roofers, GC's, management companies, HOAs, solar companies, fire and water damage companies, Security and locksmith companies, Insurance agencies... Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions and love to work with you as well, if we could benefit from partnership. This, would be a more effective way to grow our businesses than social media or other passive ways I believe! Payam. Lavi | Supervisor PalFirePro.com
Roofing Contract
Howdy all, I've been doing low-cost handyman work in my business for the last several months. I just got licensed as a roofer and would like to get started in the business. However, I want to make sure I have a good contract prepared so that when I start getting clients, I can make sure I'm protected. What would you all recommend as a starting place?

Serving the elderly
Hi guys, my name is DJ Iona, a small handyman business. I’m mostly servicing a 55+ elderly community. Are there certain any tips or items of monthly maintenance that you see most beneficial as an offer offering for a monthly subscription model? Are you guys seeing the subscription model work for your businesses? I’d love to hear any input regarding that. Some of these folks are snowbirds and our absentee owners for five months out of the year? Thanks
How I Run My UK Handyman Business Remotely from Vietnam
For years, I was deep in the day-to-day grind of running a handyman business in the UK—on the tools, quoting jobs, chasing leads, and constantly firefighting. It wasn’t until I started building proper systems that I could finally step back and work on my business instead of in it. One of the biggest bottlenecks I faced—right up there with hiring reliable subcontractors—was quoting. Driving out to jobs just to quote ate up time, fuel, and momentum. It was inefficient, and I knew it had to change if I wanted to scale. Fast forward to today: I now live in Vietnam and operate the business fully remotely. The shift has only been possible thanks to the systems I’ve built—particularly around lead handling and quoting. We’ve leaned heavily into WhatsApp quoting. It’s fast, convenient for customers, and lets us triage leads without wasting site visits. But what makes it really work is our lead scoring matrix. It helps us determine—based on a few key inputs—whether we: Send a WhatsApp video request, Offer an instant rough online quote, or Recommend a full in-person visit. This automated decision-making process has transformed how we handle incoming leads. It’s a win-win: customers get faster answers, and we save time while focusing on high-value jobs.How Referral Systems Are Changing the Home Improvement Game
Referral programs aren’t new, but they’re becoming a huge part of the home improvement world. Homeowners want trusted pros, and contractors want more jobs—referrals make that happen. Why They Work People trust word-of-mouth over ads. A referral from a friend or neighbor carries weight, and when companies reward that, it’s a win-win for everyone. How People Are Using Them Homeowners save money – Discounts or perks for referring friends. Contractors grow their business – More jobs without spending big on ads. Loyalty programs – Earn rewards for multiple referrals. Community referrals – Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and forums are full of trusted recommendations. Make It Work for You If you're a contractor, a solid referral program can bring in quality leads without the heavy marketing costs. Try something simple—offer $50 off the next project for both the referrer and the new client when they book. It’s an easy way to keep customers coming back while bringing in new ones who already trust your work. Are you currently using a referral program with your business?

Hi all! This might be a product request, but is there a way to add a BBB accreditation seal on a quote and the Jobber website to enhance trust? We have a significantly older target demographic and get a lot of referrals from BBB, so I'd love to know how to best get this status/seal added if possible (and link to our company's BBB profile, in addition to the other social sites out there already in the Company Branding section.) Thanks!
