Setting up rounds for lawn applications
Hello All, Jim from Paramount Turf Company here. I am 50 days in with Jobber and preparing for a new service line we offer at PTC with lawn applications starting in 2025. With that said, I have experience with other software companies when it comes to setting up a multiple round application program but was curious how you all do it within Jobber. Jobber client service team has been great with their one-on-one consultations and have been super helpful but would like to talk to someone in my industry in how you all set up your multiple rounds and how you schedule it. Would love to connect with some of you if you would be willing to talk some shop! Thank you in advance!!!Do you utilize battery-powered tools?
Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??How do you utilize reports in your business?
I am curious to hear which reports you consider most valuable in your business and what actions are taken based on those reports if anyone is willing to share. Are there reports that you use regularly in Jobber or reports that you wish were part of Jobber? If so how do you utilize the information that the reports provide? Are changes made based on the reports? Is the data used to create the reports monitored internally for consistency? Thanks for sharing all input is helpful!
Rescheduling multiple clients at once
Hey everyone! I’m curious to as if anyone has an efficient way to let clients know that we had to reschedule their job due to weather. Currently we have lots of visits on a day and when it gets rained out then we have to reach out to each individual person and let them know we have to move their service date (which take a long time). I know technically I could do a marketing email in their campaign but everybody doesn’t check their emails.
Greetings
Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself on the community page. My name is Douglas Mack, I'm the owner and operator of D. Mack Lawn Care Services, LLC in the upstate of SC. I'm new to Jobber. I'm slowly switching from Square. I trying to get to know Jobber features. Later, I will be adding on other features but not right now only because I'm paying for another CRM. If there are any advice you guys have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Direct Call Leads
We only pay per qualified conversation with homeowners. After a few years of hunting down bad contacts, getting ghosted and wasting money on ads and ad managers we internally built out a system that only costs money when a homeowner directly calls us looking for our services. It’s been a gamechanger and we even started selling these calls to other roofers and other industries/home service companies because there’s no real risk. Either you talk to a homeowner who wants you to come out, or you don’t pay. They can be kind of expensive but our ROI is at about 3.4x for a while now using it so I’m never going back to our old methods…unless someone has a lower risk option that doesn’t consume a ton of time.Projected revenue
I would like to look at my upcoming schedule (by day, by week, or a custom range), and see the projected revenue based on future visits. I own a lawn service/maintenance company, and we invoice our customers after every visit. For example, when I see tomorrow's schedule, I would like to see the total number of visits, the revenue associated with each visit, and the total revenue for the day. I have never found a report in Jobber for this. I'm surprised that it isn't on the dashboard. Does anyone else think similarly? Are there easy work-arounds?
