Just launched our first Meta ad campaign this evening. Excited to see how well I listened to these OWNR OPS recordings 🤓 We will pick up the machine in a couple weeks!!! Hoping to have several jobs booked by then 💪🏼

@Chris Leeck asked about apps here’s the simple stack I’d use if I had to start over tomorrow. 1. The Brain: Claude (AI) Claude is what I’m building all my AI agents with. It’s running a huge chunk of my business right now. - Writes and codes - Pulls data from Jobber + GoHighLevel - Builds reports and dashboards - Runs daily / weekly checklists - Helps run our marketing team You can get started for ~20–30 bucks a month, and there’s a beefier plan (the one I use) that can handle code, spreadsheets, and more. If you want a deeper breakdown of how I’ve wired Claude into Bear Claw + OWNR OPS, comment CLAUDE below and drop your questions. I’ll build this week’s live stream around it. 2. The Must-Have App: Jobber Jobber is what we use for: - Quoting - Scheduling - Invoicing - Time tracking (we sync timesheets into Gusto for payroll) I’ve used it since day one at Bear Claw. It’s the app I recommend if you’re not “techy” and your crew isn’t either. - Way simpler than trying to run everything in GoHighLevel - Way easier to train field guys on - Handles the ops side so you can focus on selling and doing the work If you want to grab it using my link you can get a free trial & discount code here: go.getjobber.com/ownrops At the time I recorded this, Jobber was running a 40% off promo (depending on when you view it, it could be already back down to 20% — I don't have any say when they run/change these promos fyi) Check that link for whatever their current deal is and take advantage if it’s live. 3. The Rest Of The Stack (Nice-To-Haves) - GoHighLevel / OWNR OPS snapshot – Marketing, leads, and automation. - OnX – Mapping and acreage estimation. - Zapier – Glue between everything (FB → text to your phone, Jobber ↔ GoHighLevel, etc.). - Gusto – Payroll + benefits (syncs with Jobber timesheets). - Google Workspace – Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, quick video edits, plus Google’s AI (Gemini)

Hey everybody, here's my first go at FB ads, gonna run these creatives at $40 per day. The first was supposed to be visual before and after, the second was educational, and third was trying to use social proof. What do you guys think please be brutually honest looking for feedback!

So this season is going gang busters. I now have over $100k of jobs on the books and my schedule is full almost to the end of June. Today I did another 10 estimate appointments, have another 10 next Friday, another 6 the Friday after that and another 10 leads I'm still chasing down and more coming in each day! For all of today's estimates I had to tell them I was booking new jobs in June. I booked 8 of those jobs with the other 2 being strong maybes. When I told each of them that my first available dates were in June they were all a little shocked but were already sold on the work so it wasn't a deal killer. Here's my dilemma; when I do next week's estimates I'll be telling some of them that I'm booking new jobs in *JULY* which is 3+ months away. In the past I've observed that jobs booked out too far are subject to more cancellations when the time gets closer to the job date. I'm considering pausing my ads for a bit (or maybe reducing the daily spend from $50 down to $10 or something?) So, has anyone else run into this problem? Am I crazy to think about pausing/slowing the ads down for 4-6 weeks? Any other suggestions/opinions? Before you suggest it, I'm just not at a place where I feel like I could or even want to find/train/equip other employees. Being the boss that just drives ads & estimates is a future goal but not yet.

Hey guys, for those of you that are making ad content and you want to find a good way to make a decent video without trying to remember everything, then you need to use a teleprompter app. There's a few of them that work well like PrompterPal and Promptsmart Plus. I've used it for a few videos now and it works very well. You can adjust the speed to make sure that you get everything within 30-60 sec. You write a script within the app, load it and it accesses your front facing camera. It scrolls up the screen while you read it with your machine in the background. Works awesome. This is NOT an endorsement for these apps. This is just to help you make it easier to get good content.
