I know this posts already exists, and frankly I can't believe some of the dumb answers, there is only 1 real answer to the question of what you can add on to your sales..........................

ANYTHING & EVERYTHING

You have NO IDEA how lucky you are the moment you step foot through the front door of your customer, every salesman in the world would love to be in your position.

Once you're in the house take a look around, there's painting, window washing, roof repair, brick pointing, wall-paper removal, renovations, ceramic , basement finishing, anything...........you can even sell her a new fridge, stove, T.V, drapes, a new car, ANYTHING & EVERYTHING

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO...............CONTRACT IT OUT @ 20%COMMISSION

You will never make any money at just cleaning carpets, just a weekly paychecque...........very WEAKLY

I think keep to one field.... focus on just carpet and upholstery... and more will spread you too thin

Funny thing is..........people are afraid of Jack of all Trades type of guy, they feel they don't know enough of anything to get the job done right.

The only person who will think you're the best thing since sliced bread is your wife or girlfriend
