Are there any car detailers on Jobber?
Hello Jobber community, I’m Zane Smith, a 21-year-old business owner based in Broward County, Florida, and co-owner of Spray Wipe Wash alongside my partner, Niwangee Nicolas (22). We run a luxury vehicle detailing company built around dealership-level standards. Over the past six years, I’ve specialized in detailing Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini, and other high-end and exotic brands, working directly with those dealerships. That experience shaped how we operate Spray Wipe Wash today—every vehicle gets treated like it’s sitting on a showroom floor, not in a driveway. While our core focus is luxury automotive detailing, we’re actively expanding into boat, plane, and residential detailing to offer a full premium care experience for our clients’ entire portfolio of assets.We’re new to Jobber and I’ve noticed there aren’t many car detailing companies on here, so I’m excited to connect with other owners, share ideas, and grow alongside a community that takes their business as seriously as we do.What to do when business gets slow?
What would you add? Here are 10 things you can do when business gets slow to help drive more business: Call past clients. Cheapest client to acquire but most overlooked. Send out monthly newsletters that have nothing to do with sales. Just connect. Relationships are the goal. Send out handwritten cards to past clients with a $5 Gift Card for coffee. Create raving fans who market your business for you! Hit the street. Get door hangers and go door to door. Get your team to join you! Double down on networking relationships. Schedule a meeting every day with a different referral partner. Don’t cut back on marketing. Cut down on other areas but never marketing. Double down on marketing when others are pulling back. Negotiate costs with vendors instead. See how partnerships could lower costs or help cover costs…for example providing co-branded marketing material. Be disciplined and active on social media and community pages. Low hanging fruit. Serve. Givers gain. Give your time, your expertise, and resources and it will come back to you. Communicate with your team. Let them know what they can do to help. Don’t suffer in silence…before it’s too late. Start a service contract that keeps you top of mind with your clients all year and generates reoccurring revenue. LEARN. IMPLEMENT. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION! 😎🤙🏼Customer Appreciation Dinner/Event?
Do you put on an annual customer appreciation dinner/event for your customers? Maybe a cookout, or a dinner at a nice restaurant? I am thinking of doing this to engage with clients and build even better relationships for the purpose of repeat work and referrals. If your company is doing this, or has done this please share your feedback.Keep it flowin' - Sales Pipeline
Every dedicated small business owner understands the crucial role of continually introducing new prospects into their sales pipeline. Without a steady influx of potential customers, achieving long-term growth and success becomes quite a challenge. The good news? There’s a myriad of tactics to keep that sales pipeline overflowing. The not-so-great news is that many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of seeking that elusive, magic solution that’ll fill their pipeline effortlessly. The reality is that those on the hunt for a 'magic bullet' will soon discover that it simply doesn’t exist. While various marketing strategies can undoubtedly attract large volumes of new leads, depending on just one method is a gamble you can't afford to take. “I need 20 new customers. What should I do?” The mindset you should adopt for your marketing approach is to avoid relying on a single thing. Relying on a single method to unleash a torrent of new business is unrealistic. To drive significant growth, it’s essential to implement a range of marketing strategies simultaneously. Consider these various tactics that you can deploy simultaneously: Sending out direct mail sales letters or postcards Posting on Social Feeds like Facebook, Instagram, etc. Get reviews on Google and respond to them Placing ads in local online directories Utilizing an online phone directory listing Displaying signs/billboards in strategic locations Encouraging existing customers to refer friends Networking at local events or within relevant associations Establishing joint venture partnerships with similar, non-competing businesses Driving website traffic through SEO, PPC, and article submissions Crafting and distributing press releases to pertinent news outlets (this method still works well for SEO) ...and of course, using Jobber Campaigns! As you can see, each of these strategies can work alongside one another. Implementing one won’t diminish the impact of another; in fact, using multiple methods can enhance their effectiveness. It takes 7 exposures to a marketing message before a potential customer makes a purchase By employing as many of these methods as you can, you’ll increase the number of exposures, thereby speeding up the buying cycle. So, as you strive to elevate your business, reflect on the variety of marketing methods you’re utilizing. How do you market your company?

Best way to gain more clients?
Hello everyone! I am new to the entrepreneurial world. I recently started a lawn care and landscaping business. I am curious what have other had most success with when trying to gain more clients? Paying for ads on social media, go door to door and hand out flyers/cards? What's the best way to go about things?Most of Your Problems Are Communication Problems
I learned this the hard way - I always assumed people knew or understood what I needed, instead of communicating because I did not want to have the hard conversation. I wanted to be liked more than understood. But here’s what I’ve learned the hard way: Most mistakes, delays, and drama on a jobsite don’t come from bad workers — they come from unclear instructions. It’s not that people don’t want to do good work. It’s that we assume they understood what we meant. And when assumptions lead the conversation, everything breaks down. So I built this visual to help myself, my team, and now other contractors get clear. What’s one breakdown you’ve had that could’ve been solved with clearer communication?
