Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?
I recently started my pool service business here in Miami. I’ve been working hard to get it off the ground, created a clean competitive website, post regularly on social media, and even hand out handwritten cards door to door. But despite all that, I’m still struggling to find clients. I know the pool industry is highly competitive here. For those of you with more experience, what helped you get customers early on? Thanks in advance 🙏 Also, if you're in Miami and ever want to connect in person, I’d be happy to meet up and exchange insights.

Hello! Junk Removal company here 👋. We're posting (somewhat) regularly now, and I'd like to use FB and Instagram ads to expand reach and find new followers/leads. Is there a certain format or topic that has worked best for your ads on social? Ideally, the ad can stay the same for several weeks so I don't need to create new content as often as for regular posts, but would love to hear what works best for others. Related: Are you measuring social ads based on a cost-per-lead, or do you consider it branding spend? Thank you!How (if at all) are you using video in your business?

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! 😎🤙🏼
