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?37Views1like0CommentsWhat's one Jobber feature you wish you had started using sooner?
I've been exploring how different home service businesses use Jobber, and it's interesting that two companies can use the same software in completely different ways. What's one feature, workflow, or habit that made you think: "I wish I'd known about this six months ago." Whether it's scheduling, quoting, invoicing, client communication, reminders, or something else, I'd love to hear what's made the biggest difference for your business. Hopefully this thread helps newer members discover some hidden gems too.68Views0likes6CommentsDoes anyone have input on how to leverage business certifications for profit?
I know certifications can open doors, but I’d love to hear how people are actually turning them into revenue, stronger partnerships, or new opportunities. What’s worked best for you in scaling with certifications like WOSB, SDVOSB, 8(a), or others?27Views1like2CommentsWhat Is the Best Business Insurance for Small Companies with a Few Employees?
We’re currently insured through Simply Business for our landscaping and property maintenance company, and I wanted to open up a discussion with other contractors here. I’m curious how others are structuring their coverage and what the current market looks like for small crews. For those in landscaping, lawn care, pressure washing, or similar service industries: Who are you insured with (Simply Business, NEXT, Hiscox, State Farm, local agents, etc.) What coverage do you carry (General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers’ Comp, Tools & Equipment, Umbrella, etc.)? What are you roughly paying monthly or annually? How has your experience been with claims, renewals, or customer service? Any providers you’ve found especially good or worth avoiding? Just trying to benchmark where we’re at and see how other small crews (1–5 employees) are handling insurance as they grow. Appreciate any insight—this kind of real-world info is incredibly helpful for newer companies like ours.

Hey everyone. I am new here, I just retired from being a firefighter after25 years do to medical reasons. I am still way to young to officially "retire" and collect anything. So I am wanting to start my own land clearing business, However I see the prices on equipment are way to obtainable for me as a start up. But I do have one question about tract loaders/skidsteers I know every video I was they all have a tract loader. But is there any chance buying a used skidsteer with tires could help start this business at wayless of a start up cost? Maybe not use it for mulching but maybe do some brush hogging with it? the second part is to try to make money with something that wont hurt my back so bad and to get the capital to start this business my brother was thinking of a mowing business. Not landscaping but just mowing. Bad boy mowers has very good pricing. I have seen reviews on youtube but many them are paid to say so. Anyone have experience with bad boy mowers? what are some good things some bad things. What brands do you feel they are better than?52Views1like2Comments
