Our Painting Service Contract!
I have a painting service contract for our customers. It has worked out well for the last year but we haven't signed up a lot of customers. I think we have 15 customers on service contracts right now. I really want to vamp this up but I am hoping to get insight from other businesses on best practices for service contracts. I'm also trying to figure out if I should just sell as many as I can and then hire a full time person to service those clients, or keep slowly adding them until I can hire someone full-time to do it. I have been hesitant to go after this super hard because I don't want to be in a position where I can't get to our service contract clients for too long.
Looking to collaborate with Junk removal, landscape or cleaning companies.
Hello Jobber world, I am a small Canadian owned and operated pest control company operating in Toronto, Ontario. I am putting this message out to try to get in touch with a small commercial cleaning, landscape and junk removal company to share some work. Also open to creative ideas also, pressure washing comapnies, HVAC, construction, lawn care...anything we can do as small business owners to share the work. My business model is a full service pest control company, and all three of these services are going to be offered to my customers due to the importance of each. I plan to do most of it myself at the beginning, but would like to have some other local Canadian owned small business owners to share work leads. I do not want to work with a large operation to outsource work because I am a huge believer in owner/operated businesses, hence why I (and likely yourself) started my own business I would love to hear from anyone reading this and you can email me anytime at pestfreecanada@gmail.comIs everyone calculating commission in a spreadsheet?
I have a landscaping business. I have a pay for performance model, pay out for google reviews, and am thinking about providing sales people with a commission for specific types of jobs. Right now, I use a whiteboard to show the crew and calculate in Excel. Is there a better way to do this? I feel like paying a flat rate (percentage of invoice or flat rate per sale) is simple. But when it comes to tracking hours, or paying based on margins, upsells etc. It can get pretty complicated tracking everything in Excel.Commission Tracking for Jobber
Hi Everyone, I run a lawncare/landscaping business and more recently started Crew Insight (A Jobber marketplace App). Right now, the app is focused on KPI's and metrics but many of our users have asked about commission tracking. We've built out a small MVP and a waitlist to see how we can prioritize features and the roll out. I'd love to hear what types of commission plans people have right now, and how they're tracking it. We want to make it simple to build out your commission plan, track the calculations, and give your employees a real time view into their performance.

Feature Request: Hourly Line Items That Auto-Track Labor Time
Hey Jobber Team and fellow users, I’d love to see a feature added that allows us to mark a Job or Line Item as “Hourly,” where Jobber automatically tracks labor time during a visit. (yes, labor time is already tracked, but it does not populate invoices automatically with the labor time total) Here’s the idea: When a team member clocks in and out for a visit, Jobber would log the total man hours and automatically populate that into the invoice line item when it’s generated. Example: If a visit takes 3.5 total man hours across the crew, and the rate is $60/hr, the invoice line would automatically show: Labor (Hourly) — 3.5 hrs @ $60/hr = $210 This would be a huge time-saver and ensure invoices accurately reflect labor hours without needing to manually edit or calculate them later. Why it matters: Eliminates human error in time-based billing Speeds up invoicing for hourly work Keeps job costing more consistent and transparent **Would also love to see labor time displayed in decimal!** Would love to hear if others are interested in this too — and if Jobber could consider adding it as a future update!
Tasks in Jobber for Equipment Maintenance
Is anyone using tasks in Jobber to track/schedule regular maintenance on equipment? Oil changes, new tires, etc. If so, I'd be curious to hear how it is working for you. How easy is it to pull up the maintenance history on a particular piece of equipment? Before looking at a separate solution, I'd prefer to use something we already have.
