Just trying to build an affordable CRM / FSM for service based businesses. Come along for the ride.

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@gumroad Built a web app for small service businesses and now I'm building one for small landlords!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

Service Businesses like lawn care, pressure washing, pool cleaning, HVAC and more that only have a couple of guys are paying $$$ for something they likely don't need or use!

Make it simple with https://t.co/6BmTAV3vwA

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

Step One: Find a pain point
Step Two: Create a solution
Step Three: Find people in pain
Step Four: Sell the solution fairly

I did this with ClientRoot, launched in two weeks and already have 10 users.

Service Businesses want clean, simple and affordable.

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

If you have a service business, stop paying $250+ per month for features you don't use.

You need:
Contacts
Quotes
Jobs
Invoices
Reports

Take payments directly with Stripe from the quote or invoice.

Don't overcomplicate it!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

Paying deposits directly from the quote will increase the number of quality conversions in your service business flow!

People that put money down before a job begins are fare less likely to back out of an accepted quote!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

https://t.co/6BmTAV3vwA let's you make email quotes and collect deposits via Stripe without ever leaving the web app.

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

What do you think is the best way to visualize leads within a CRM?

Do you prefer a list? Cards?

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

Do you mow yards for people? Clean houses? Pressure wash driveways?

https://t.co/6BmTAV3vwA helps you get paid. Collect deposits on quotes and payment on invoices via Stripe integration!

Track employee time with our clock in/out feature. Even see the location they clocked in!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

If you have a service based business and use a CRM / FSM, what is the one thing you wish it did? Or the one feature you would use but just can't justify the price in your current software?

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

Building a SaaS web app. I launched last night and got my first customer around four hours later.

I have been posting on Reddit, ProductHunt, TikTok and now X.

CRM, quote, schedule, invoice, track employee hours, and reports all in one place.

@feliciapaladi_ @itsferncamacho Here you go! I'll just put this out for everyone because it's older.

@rezmaninang Thanks! Tell all of your fellow creators before it runs out of free copies!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@Haris__31 Hey hey! If you (or anybody) needs a spreadsheet for managing contracts/customers with some custom fields and such, just let me know. I'll put something together!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@UGCDestinee @everythingUGC It seems like more and more brands are doing that Destinee. I explain why in a guide I created, along with some ideas for turning a gifted offer into a paid collab!

Check out my pinned tweet if you're interested.

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@milibee_ugc @liveplantiful @ashmarie_ugc I think it is an excellent idea! It is a strategy I recommend for creating revenue off of a gifted collab.

Something like, "Yeah! I will take the product in exchange for my usual creation fee. Now let's discuss my monthly usage rates..."

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@TrisUgc That's awesome Tris! If you are interested in some ideas for ways to turn those gifted collabs into paid deals next time, I could send you a guide I made!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@Ugcbycam15 Just another reason why gifted collabs can actually cost you money!

I wonder if you could negotiate returning the items to the company following completion of content creation. Especially for non-consumables!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@ugcbyjulianne Sent it in a DM!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@afranklinugc Hey Alexa! I just published a guide on this and I will give you a copy for free, if you want it!

Remember, it isn't free for them to send you products - so they are willing to pay you, you just need to convince them why!

[Garrett @garrett_scitern]

@ugcbyjulianne That's an awesome week Julianne! If you want to convert some of those Gifted Offers into Paid Collaborations next time, I can shoot you the link to a free guide I made!
