Today Joey takes us through a demo of the job management software Service M8. 

Of course our purpose here is to educate the people we care about, but it would be amiss of me not to mention that at Sparky Coach we are now approved for Service M8 training and we also offer 1:1 consulting to help get Service M8 firing. 

Thought: one of the best things you can do is get your job management software absolutely cooking. 

Enjoy the pod + reach out if you have any questions. 

Much love xx
