Upselling irrigation upgrades pisses off my lawn clients every time

Just tried upselling a Toro drip system to a basic lawn mow customer and they shut me down cold. I was gonna add $800 to the job for that install but now they're shopping around. These cheapos only want the grass cut, not the full landscape package.

homeowners who balk at irrigation upgrades are the worst, theyll pay for fake grass but not real water efficiency.

dont push too hard on the first visit, let them see the dry spots first hand before quoting the drip line.

i feel your pain man, upselling mulching services gets me the same eye rolls.

those clients are killing the industry, refusing upgrades means more callbacks later.

hit 50 upsell conversions last month by bundling with Stihl trimmers, feels good.

proud of my crew, we upsold 15 landscape lighting kits in q3 alone.

bundle the irrigation with a free soil test, upsell rate jumps 30%.

same here, hate when they nickel and dime the bed prep.

rough day? i get ghosted after quoting sod installs too.

offer a discount on the upsell if they sign same day, works half the time.

upselling is dead with these budget hunters.

nah, just quote the value, not the price tag.

i always lead with the problem, not the product.

careful with aggressive upselling, lost a regular over a fence add-on.

frustrated as hell, client wanted free drainage consult after i upsold.

another day of rejection on tree planting upsells.

big box stores are ruining it, clients think all landscape work is cheap.

use before and after pics from your phone to show the upgrade value.

PE firms buying up landscapers and jacking prices, we independents get screwed.

homeowners ghosting after irrigation quotes is the new normal.

screw the cheap ones, focus on clients who value full yard transformations.

watched a mike andes video on upselling mulch beds, game changer but still get pushback.

insurance rates for equipment are insane now, cant afford to lose upsell revenue.

r/landscaping had a thread on this, everyone hates the bargain hunters.

i hear ya, upselling hardscapes gets me yelled at weekly.

how do you handle the ones who say yes then back out?

contractors like us get undercut by apps promising cheap lawn service.

train your guys to spot upsell ops during mow, mention casually.

never upsell without a site walk first, saves headaches.
