Double check you have the right city when the autofill picks an address.
I like that Jobber has the autofill feature when filling out an address for a new client. Yesterday though, I didn't double check I had the right city, and had to drive 90mins out of my way, there and back when, funny enough I was 12 mins away from one call to the next. Make sure you all have the right city when you're picking an address from the drop down!Roll Call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Cleaning and Property Maintenance pros

Every Monday, we hold a short training session with our team. We train on communication. leadership. & mindset. The reason being most tradespeople aren’t struggling because they can’t do the work. They’re struggling because they were never taught how to: Speak with clarity Handle conflict Lead a crew Represent the business professionally These tend to be the issues I see bottling up, either from our exit interviews or customer feed back or when things are misunderstood. Thats why I'm curious: Do you train soft skills with your crew?Hello all, are there any other pest control companies out there?

Hello everyone, Daniel here from Pest Free Canada. I am wondering if there are any other pest control companies on here who have any new or interesting ways to provide a estimate to a potential client? Or even to add value to a current customer? My company focuses on solving a customers immediate and ongoing issues, but also doing exclusion work to prevent it from happening again. I also like to look for other small jobs that a client may need and offer that service to them. I feel like this strategy adds the most value to every stop I make and lets the customer know that I care about really solving their issues.
