Invoice update via API
Jobber does not allow invoices to be updated and closed/marked as paid from externally. We use Xero as our main accounting system as it hooks into or bank. Every time we mark an invoice as paid in Xero, we need to manually close the corresponding invoice in Jobber. I have raised this multiple times with Jobber but it is not on their roadmap. Hoping there are more people out there with the same requirement to help boost this post so that Jobber can do something about it. Unless someone has found another way to do it. This will save at 30+ hours a month of man hour to change every invoice.What is a good Business Credit Card to have for our line of work?
Hey Jobbers: I'm in the 7th month of business and things are going quite well, but I've been thinking of trying to get my purchases to work of me. Often times credit cards will give perks for cash back or rewards points depending on the purchases that one makes. In our line of work, purchases are pretty out of the norm to other business on a day-to-day basis. I've been doing some research of different programs, but the ranked lists seem to be sponsored by banks, like usual. Hard to trust biased articles. I was wondering if anyone had personal experience/ good recommendations for a credit card that is geared towards Home Services/Handyman companies. Thanks in advance, Think N Tinker
Annual price increase reminders
Howdy! How do you guys keep track of annual price increases? It looks like we can set an invoice reminder but I worry that will get lost in a sea of daily invoice reminders. Currently we use internal notes but we continue to miss accounts. We're issuing about 30 increases every month. Would love your ideas!Auto Add Late fees/Interest
Does anyone know how to add auto interest or late fees to invoices? Considering the scope of my work this would be real handy when my average invoice payment time is around 50 days. Because of this I have to finance my own payroll and if I could recoup some of these interest charges automatically. Too many invoices to manually add feesHow Much Should You Really Be Charging?
The number one question I receive is tied directly to the fact, most contractors are still guessing when it comes to pricing. Overhead. Profit. Labor rate. Trip fees. They think just because they throw a number they hear their competitors use, thats all that they need. It may work, but how and what do you divide these funds is just as important for your business health. If you don’t know how to do the math, you’re not building a business. You’re surviving check to check and think you need more work, when you do not. So here’s the plan: This Tuesday & Thursday on IG, I’m walking you through our Contractor Price Builder Worksheet FREE on instagram live. We will cover: - How to calculate your real hourly rate - The difference between markup and margin - Why profit is a non-negotiable - And how to price with confidence Join the session. Bring your numbers.
Credit Card processing will soon be dead and it cant come soon enough.
As I learned more and more about businesses and how the market place works I was inevitable exposed to Credit Card processing. Since most of you were also exposed to CC processing services in one way or another I found It important to bring it up on this platform. How many of you have been negatively affected high interest that only keeps climbing? How about the dreaded phantom delays CC processing just magically creates for you? Or my personal favorite, when 20% of your duly owed compensation is withheld from you for 120 days because that's what the CC company has deemed is in your best interest.. To me, this system is awful and over due for a rude awakening. When capabilities such as Zelle, Checks, ACH transfers, and future technologies brought on by AI become more available; those little pieces of burdensome plastics will become obsolete. These THIRD PARTY credit card companies have taken advantage of virtually everyone, and I for one cannot wait until they are completely gone for good!
