Jobber is investing in putting real people on the ground in cities across North America who are focused on building a community of service pros and creating something genuinely useful in each city - hosting events, collecting feedback and supporting local business owners. I'm your local Edmonton Jobber gal and this week we had our first big Jobber event here in the city - Built in Edmonton, a networking happy hour for service pros at Fox Burger rooftop. Great food, drinks on us, prizes, a networking game and some amazing community building. Congrats to Ryan Hauer from Hauer Power Electrical who won the free year of Jobber giveaway contest! Huge thank you to everyone who came out - tickets went fast, the energy was electric and valuable connections were made. If you missed it, there will be more local events happening in Edmonton and other cities! Full photo album here.To Everyone Who Didnt Win The Jobber Grant
I jus got the email of the winners... I know I’m not the only one who was hoping to hear our name called. Being told you didn’t make the cut can definitely sting, especially when you’ve put your heart, time, and energy into building your business. But not being selected doesn’t mean your business isn’t worthy. It doesn’t erase the work you’ve already put in, the customers you’ve helped, or the dreams you’re chasing. Congratulations to the 9 who were selected you earned it. 👏 And to everyone who didn’t, keep going. Our story doesn’t end with one “no.” Sometimes the setback is just another chapter before the breakthrough. Keep building. Keep learning. Keep showing up. We may not have won the grant, but we’re not done winning. 💪🚀What if your business is successful... but you still Hate running it?
A friend of mine owns a profitable laundry mat but hates going in every other week and just plain out dont like dealing with it. We talk a lot about growing revenue, getting more customers, hiring employees, and becoming “successful.” But what happens when you reach those goals and realize you don’t actually enjoy the business you built? Maybe the money is good, the customers are coming in, and the business is growing, but you're constantly stressed, working longer hours, or stuck doing things you never wanted to do. Question: 👉 Would you change the business model, sell the company, scale back, or keep pushing because the numbers look good?Would You Encourage The Next Generation to Get Into Your Trade?
What industry are you in? And would you actually recommend it to someone younger looking at their career options right now? 67% of Gen Z say they'd recommend a trade career to a sibling or friend. Curious if that tracks with what shows up in the comments here! More stats like this in the full Blue Collar ReportWho is planning on going to the Jobber Now event in Texas?
I have been seriously thinking about attending the Jobber Now event but for me, it is a serious investment of time and money as I live in Toronto, Canada. I love to hear from some of you who are going and why? I am sure those who live in Houston or in that area would have a different answer than those in New York or even in Canada but do want to hear why.Expand geographically or go deeper where you already are?
We recently found ourselves at a crossroads: do we expand our residential cleaning footprint closer toward Philly, or stay in our current territory and find another way to grow? We ultimately chose to branch further into commercial cleaning instead of adding another geographic market. Our thinking was that there was still more opportunity to squeeze out of the infrastructure, team, and territory we already had before adding the complexity of another market. Expansion isn’t off the table. We just decided it could come later. It made me wonder how other owners make this decision. When do you know you’ve gotten enough out of your current market and it’s actually time to expand geographically? What numbers or signs would make you pull the trigger?
