Does knowing how to REALLY sell carpet protector count?

That and also upholstery.

 

[Brian R]

Other services include Tile and Grout Cleaning (biggest) and House Cleaning...Upholstery etc.

As far as an add on to Carpet Cleaning....ScotchGard is the biggest and easiest to make money.

I'd say the most lucrative for me is water damage(IDK if you'd consider that an add on service). Mattress cleaning and anti-allergen products, air duct cleaning, scotch guard and hydrocide/deodorize(for pet odors we charge .25SF for hydrocide almost all customers with pets go for it) I haven't done much leather cleaning but I want to get into that more. Tile and grout is huge for us now a days with so much T&G out there now a days. Many customers go for the disinfectants as well I use Microban Clean Carpet Sanitizer.

I'd say that having as many of your services as possible on your business cards will help with add on sales. I give the customer my business card when they open the door and usually while I'm cleaning they ask me about other services that I have listed on my card.

Protector and anti-alergen is easy money.
It's also easy to clean more rooms and upholstery while you are already there.

Robbie,
You mentioned handing out a business card with your services.

I hand out a cleaning menu that the client can check off with other services listed on it.

It has descriptions of the services and a photo for each.

THEY ARE TOO LAZY...."We have been PREACHING this for years.."

They would rather spend "all day"...trying to figure out why they are not making enough money...

Than 15 minutes...selling their service..."Face to Face " with the potential client... :roll:

Harper I think you are right on the ball...many cleaners are great cleaners but cant sell. If your not good at selling then hire someone that is....I can think of atleast 20 different cleaners in my area that are great cleaners but cant sell there way out of poverty...

 

[Brian R]

Charisma can be learned.

 

[Royal Man]

I can see face to face for commercial. But, it's not necessary for residential.

 

[dirt smackdown]

I been thinking about adding the dispensary on wheels we deliver kinda thing.. I would be the first in Oregon..

A Dispensary is a legal term for Medical Marijuana Supplier.

hey its legal. could make some coin here change the name To KRONIC Carpet who needs to do any Cleaning Care LLC. lmbo
Heard suppliers in cali make about 90k a month Iseeru

 

[CDRX]

I'd have to say for the profit per time invested, Teflon is the most profitable add-on. You don't even need to sell it, just ask if they want it and half the time they'll say yes.

 

[Brian R]

Remember to say "Re-apply" your factory protectant.

 

[Hoody]

Protector and upholstery.

For upholstery I give them two options. The whole piece, or "touch panels".
