Starting a Mastermind Group for Wood Floor Refinishers
Hey All, I'm Scott Newman, the owner of NewRidge Refinishing Group Inc. We specialize in hardwood floor and staircase refinishing, as well as floor installations and complete staircase and railing renovations. I'm interested in forming a mastermind group of like-minded wood floor refinishers within this community. My goal is to create a space where we can "talk shop" and explore new sales and marketing strategies, discuss the latest products, and share ideas on how to better serve our clients. If you're interested in collaborating and growing together, let’s connect!
LANDSCAPERS: Let's unite on best practices...
Calling all landscape home service companies! We are a full-service landscaping company doing everything from irrigation, fertilizer and lawn maintenance programs to large projects. We've used Jobber for about 6 years and 'figure it out' as we go but tend to have to do a lot of manual work and workarounds. Wondering how others in the biz are best using Jobber and what kind of administrative help you employ to help manage it. For us... we have 3-4 people dedicated in the office at all times. We have 2 people dedicated to scheduling services and customer service for existing clients. We have another dedicated to billing daily, and another for administrative support to strictly field new requests and ensure people are being responded to. We use Trello to help manage all the tasks and customer status. It's a lot to manage. There's a lot of room for error. Setting up jobs is very manual. Scheduling can be pretty manual despite knowing there are ways to mass schedule in Jobber. Tags get super messy and are only so reliable. There isn't a great way to enforce good notes from techs in the field. Job Forms are only really for customer leave behinds and don't help with billing so the open notes field is really the only way to gather info from the field for invoicing... Interested in whatever others have to share that are really working for them!
