I had a great time chatting with Adam! Thank you jobber!

[@Jobber]

Thank you for being part of the show, Erica!

[@user-he8uk3dc7r]

So after your first client, how did you grow the biz? You guys never circled back to that. You simply posted ads in facebook buy in sell groups? How did you get into commercial? I'm 100% novice here interested in maybe giving it a "go" hah Appreciate all tips!

[@PoopScoopsForNoobs]

Such a great episode!!! Erica is the reason why I started scooping and I'm so happy to see how much she's growing her scooping empire 💩🙌

[@Jobber]

We're so happy to hear that Erica's journey has inspired you! Her growth shows what dedication and hard work can achieve. Keep scooping to success! 🚀💪

Another great video. I offer window cleaning and pressure washing services, and some of the houses I come across have poop 💩 in the yard. Some jobs I’ve turned down, because I didn’t want to step in dog poop while working. I’m thinking of adding this service as an add on.

We're so glad you're finding the podcast valuable, Brandon!

[@gmikoner]

As for hauling it away, best practice is to check with your city. See what transfer station / dump / landfill / organic waste facility it should be taken to according to local laws. Don't put bags of poop in random dumpsters.

Hello! We have some helpful information here, on how to get a cleaning business license: getjobber.com/academy/cleaning-business-license/

Where do you think millions of pounds of it go yearly? Ppl that do it themselves don’t go to any place other than there trash can

[@sherirottweilersforever7772]

It’s like a rotten Easter egg hunt scooping poop from my 2 Rottweilers on 2 acres.

[@Jobber]

Might be time to hire a pet waste removal company to take care of that for you!

How do you keep the dogs from attacking or jumping all over you?

[@SeekingSuccess22]

Are dogs put away? Are owners home ?
