Quoting can be one of the toughest parts of running a small business. It’s easy to lower your price to beat the competition, but that doesn’t always lead to a healthy business. A good quote should cover your time, materials, expenses, and the value you provide. The goal isn’t to get every job, it’s to get the right jobs that allow your business to grow. What’s one thing that helped you improve your quoting process?Solved45Views1like4CommentsHow to manage and optimize leads before they become paying customers?
I am looking to optimize leads, plan routes for the sales departments and optimize so staff is not zigzagging all over town. These are not visits as no jobs are created yet, these are leads. I want staff to hand out flyers, business cards, etc. Is there a way to manage and optimize routes from the client list, specifically for clients who have not converted from a lead to an actual yet? How are others managing this? My prospects are typically other businesses as we are a B2B operation.Are Business 2 business corporate models welcome here?
The business I'm trying to get into isn't exactly marketed to homeowners. while indeed my job would take me right up and to the easement in your yard, my clients are the ISPs and their prime subcontractors not the public. Which is to say, Joe citizen would not be interested in hiring me under the scope of my services offered through my inc. With that in mind, am I in the wrong place? I try to find my industry under the categories given and telecoms ain't up there. Closest I see is IT SERVICESSolved72Views1like4CommentsForce Receipt to email to same email as invoice
We have several clients with multiple contact email addresses. Jobber is emailing paid invoice receipts to whichever email is 'starred' in the communication email list. Does anyone know of a way to force the paid invoice receipt to go directly to the same email that was chosen for an emailed invoice to be paid?33Views0likes1CommentHow to manage duplicate clients, flags, and scheduling visibility in Jobber?
Hello, A few things I'd love to see added to jobber, if not already there and I have the wrong package. Being able to merge clients! When multiple people answer the phone, some do not check for previously entered spelling errors and such, we end up with multiple duplicate clients. Multiple jobs/invoices are scattered within all the duplicate clients. Being able to flag clients, maybe a color coded flag like red for no service at all, yellow, needs payment collected first or allow us to label our flags how we need to. Or give us a drop down box to make selections by color, or a preview box so we see it as soon as the clients name is entered before scheduling and without it being on the profile for invoices and receipts. Color highlight for clients that are on the schedule, like if someone is flexible and can be worked in on a day we have a cancelation or a color if they have to have a solid appointment day. These colors need to be separated from the team colors and be able to be seen on the calendar view so CSR's can see at a glance that someone can be worked in right away if there is a cancelation. That's all I got for now :)Job Forms (Checklists) Not Good Enough For Tracking Job Status
Jobber advertises being able to track the progress/completion of Jobs using the Forms (checklist) function. Where it is attached to the Job when creating it. But it seems very deficient and does not really work as advertised or implied. If you have multiple visits or follow-ups to a Job, especially if its because something wasn't complete on an initial visit, that the checklist form wouldn't have been completed... but when you schedule a new visit for crew to go back to that Job to complete the prior visit, you are presented with a whole new Form attached to that visit... the form is blank. Filling out a whole new version of the same form already partially filled out makes no sense to me, we would want the Form/Checklist to show the items that were already completed. Then we easily know what we have left to do on this follow-up visit. And, the only place to view the Job Form status info is either directly in the form, or in Reports. Reports is a great view, and feels like actual Project Management, you can view the status of the Job essentially based on Form data... but again, you end up with multiples of the same form showing up on that screen, one for every time there is a new visit. This makes that view messy, hard to track the true status, making the Report faulty data, and again makes no sense. This in no way is a Job form to me, its a Visit form. And that is NOT the same thing. All of this data input across all Forms should be collective, and ideally we should see the Completion Status of that form on the JOB level view and pop-ups, this would give all users the ability to see the status of the Job and whats left to do at a glance. In short, you should only ever have 1 instance of the specific Form, or Forms, associated with the Job (or atleast the option to make it so) and it follows every subsequent visit showing the prior checked off items. We often have multiple checklists associated with a single Job, as each form is needed for 1 of multiple phases of that Job, which is completed over months. We are already lacking 'Project' level management for handling large multi-phase Jobs, if the Forms function was linked properly it would make it feel less lacking overall, as these Forms could act more like project management and status tracking. Or, am I missing something? Or could we get tight integration with an App/3rd Party service that could fill that Project Management gap?Solved309Views3likes3CommentsWhat tools are anyone using for team communication?
The internal communication in Jobber is not robust enough for multiple team members, especially when we may be working on the same customer/job at different times. Features needed: - ability to mention/tag other team members so they are notified of the comment or message - keeps the communications "within Jobber" at least in knowing which customer the communication pertains to Is there a 3rd party tool/plug in that anyone has found useful for this need? Or even better, Jobber team, is there any plan to deploy this as part of a standard feature?654Views5likes12CommentsHow do I see the total dollar value of an upcoming day?
I can't seem to find the total value of a future day in my calendar?? I feel like I am missing something small as that is important information and a lot of people would need that information. I can see the value of today, but when I click ahead to another day it only shows me the name, time and location of the call. Not the total value of the day. Can someone help me find what I am missing!24Views0likes0CommentsOne thing that would really help with the schedule!
Hey Jobber! One thing I notice almost every day when looking at my schedule, is that it automatically goes to the top of the calendar. It's obviously not an issue early in the month when that is what I want to see, but when we are in the later days, I have to scroll down to find the date/week we are in. Could you make it default to center the day or week we are in? Is it that hard to scroll down a little????34Views0likes1Comment
