Finding the Right Price: How Do You Charge Fairly While Still Making a Profit? As A Small Business
One of the biggest challenges for many small business owners is knowing how to set prices. You want to be fair to your customers while also making sure your business is profitable and sustainable. How do you determine what to charge for your services? Do you base your pricing on time, materials, competition, experience, or your desired profit margin? What advice would you give to a new business owner who is trying to find the right balance between being affordable and making sure they are not undercharging themselves?Solved16Views1like4CommentsIs Jobber's dedicated business phone number a game changer for small businesses?"
So i had a brake and was watching reels and saw that Jobber offers a dedicated business phone number that lets customers text and call while keeping everything tied to your business. That's definitely A game changer 💪... For those of you using it: • Has it helped you win more customers? • Do clients respond more when they recognize your business number? • Is it better than using your personal cell phone or services like Google Voice? • Would you pay extra for this feature, or is it something every CRM should include?8Views1like0CommentsMultiple jobs approved and scheduled at the same time, crew, and address
We sometimes have clients who ask for items to be quoted out separately instead of as an optional line on one quote. Then they are approving them all and I am putting all of them on the same dates since all the work for them is being completed at the same time. Is there any way or maybe it can be added in the future for combining them together into one calendar item? Kind of like when you have multiple things to invoice for a client it lets you select and invoice them together. I feel like it will help my calendar look a little cleaner and might be a bit easier on the crew if they can see everything at once instead of looking into 2 or 3 job scopes of work.14Views1like1CommentA Competitor Is Targeting My Clients/Area. What Would You Do?
So what would you do if you competitor in the town placed a big 3x3ft sign for their painting company in between the two houses that I’ve painted on my office road? I feel disrespected. I’ve done all my due diligence and I’ve paid all my dues to this town in my community. He’s not from here. What do I need to do to ignore it or mediate this situation? I am just beginning my business and he has been in business for a few years.
