easy to upsell????

got a question for you guys and gals.  when branching out on your own is it harder to upsell on the scotchgard than say working for a name like sears?  is it the name people trust or what?  i am kinda thinking that it will be harder to upsell just because i wont use the sears name anyore. am i right?  it is really an awesome feeling when a custy ASKS for the gard without you even trying.  of course working for sears that is our main money maker is upselling. kinda sucks when you do a trashed out place and no upsell.  sweat your 's off for crap dollar.  so what do you think will it be harder to upsell?  any famous selling lines you care to share?

It's all the same...some people buy some don't

Smart man!

first thing that comes to my mind is that i would always do some cleaning first and let them see how clean it's getting THEN ask

"would you like to protect your carpet and keep it cleaner longer??"

It's all about the sales Doug

Steamer prey tell me just what in hell the disiinfectant does except make you money. It does absolutly nothing because it is not on the carpet long enough?? Do you wear ppe while applying this smelly water??? The only thing compatable here is your invoice with your debit machine???  Maybe I should make an attempt to attend a IICRC certification class??? Who  knows what would happen then??

Mr. Steamer the difference between the way I do business and the way you do business???  I see amd meet the people I do work for  unlike you who probably don't even know your neigbour.  I don't sell I reccommend if after reviewing and deciding on my clients needs  then a dettermination is made as to what if anything is needed?
