Scale Your Service Business to $5 Million with Jobber
Episode description
In this episode, I sit down with Marlena from G&M Companies to talk about how she’s using Jobber to run a $5.5M excavation, residential, commercial, snow, and boulder business — and where it works really well (and where it doesn’t).
We get into:
How she protects margins with deposits and final payments
How quotes flow straight into jobs and invoices
Building simple checklists so sales → ops handoffs don’t break
Tracking time, payroll, and job costs
Managing 100+ snow visits without nonstop phone calls
The real pros and cons of Jobber as you grow
Why progress billing gets tricky in commercial dirt work
If you’re in land clearing, excavation, snow, tree work, or residential services, this is a practical systems conversation you’ll want to hear.
