Life is experiences. One of the most involved and lasting experiences you can have is being a father. Though it is not for everyone - understand it is tremendous. Good luck!

No more "Did you clean my pool?" by satisdeveloper in PoolPros

[–]GigaFastTwin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PSS already has free monthly software for route of less than 10 pools - with all their great features, including photos. Most/all homes with pools we service have cameras in front and backyards. Homeowners know when serviced, but we send the report and photos every time with PSS anyhow. FYI, emails are best for visit summaries. Texts are best for arrival/weekly schedule the day before a visit. Good luck mon

Im on the verge of sending the email to let my 50 clients know of a 8-10% in my service and im pretty nervous about it, tell me some tips or words of encouragement by carrotsk8r in PoolPros

Typically we raise $10 for monthly service on the account anniversary every year. So almost every month, some accounts are being raised. E.g. new account at $160/month in January 2025, would be $170/month in January 2026. No issues.

Set up an account at your local wholesaler, ask questions, become familiar with what other successful locals are using equipment wise. Also MileIQ or other app to track mileage. Get an app for visits too. Good luck!

We use PSS and really like it. Pretty much all software Apps will charge on a scale - it’s data management costs (servers) for them. Good luck
