Every lead source should earn its keep. But figuring out whether one actually does can be surprisingly hard. With a monthly subscription, the fee sits on top of everything. Was this month's fee worth it? Depends which jobs you count, and whether you spread last month's slow stretch into the math.
On Jobiteer, there's no recurring fee to allocate. What you spend is tied to specific jobs, which makes the math a lot more direct.
What you spent, job by job
Your transaction history shows every credit movement on your account:
- Purchases, with the dollar amount you paid and a link to the invoice for web purchases.
- Unlocks, each tied to the specific job you spent credits on.
- Refunds, including credits returned automatically when a homeowner never replied to you.
- Free credit allocations, so you can separate what you paid for from what you didn't.
Because every unlock points to a job, you can see exactly which jobs your credits went to, and which of them came back as refunds.
What you earned
If you invoice customers through Jobiteer, your Invoices tab keeps your full invoice history in one place, on the web and in the app. Each invoice shows its total and status, and you can filter by status and date. When a customer pays you, you mark the invoice as paid, so you can pull up just your paid invoices for any stretch of time.
Your profile also tracks your completed jobs, which gives you a quick count of the work you've won and finished through the platform.
Putting it together
There isn't a single ROI report that does the math for you, but the pieces are all there. For any period you want to look at:
- Add up what you spent. Look at the credit purchases in your transaction history for that period.
- Check what those credits went to. Look at your unlocks, and subtract any that were refunded.
- Add up what you earned. Total your paid invoices for jobs that came through Jobiteer.
- Compare. Earnings against spend gives you a straightforward return on your lead costs.
If you buy credits in bulk, you can also work out your cost per credit from your purchase history, which makes it easy to put a dollar value on each unlock.
No fee muddying the numbers
With a subscription, a slow month still costs the full fee, which drags down your numbers even if nothing was wrong with the leads you did get. With credits, a slow month where you don't unlock anything simply doesn't add any cost. Your spending and your results line up month to month.
That makes it easier to answer the question that matters: is this lead source worth it for your business? On Jobiteer, you can answer it with your own numbers.
