Upselling add-ons after Nick Slavik's shop tour inspired me

Watched Nick Slavik's shop tour video the other day and it got me thinking about how he organizes his gear for quick upsells on jobs. If you're doing interior trim work with Benjamin Moore Advance, always suggest adding a fresh coat on doors or baseboards, it takes no extra time with the Graco HVLP ready. Clients love the polished look and it pads the quote without much hassle. I've started bundling in minor drywall patch ups too, using lightweight compound to smooth out dings before painting. Keeps the job flowing smooth and boosts the bottom line. Anyone else use his setup tips for better material handling? Saw similar advice in the Painting Contractors group on FB.

Bundle the add-ons into packages like basic, premium, luxury so they see the value without feeling nickeled and dimed.

Don't push too hard on the upsell or you'll lose the repeat business, had a client walk after I suggested crown molding paint.

Haha upsell to painting the cat next, charge extra for the fur removal.

Homeowners these days shop around on Angi and call you out for every add-on, it's BS how they nickel and dime us painters.

PE firms buying up painting outfits are killing the small guy, now everyone's forced into these aggressive upsell scripts.

Client asked for wall color change but I upsold the ceiling too, then complained about the 'extra' dust.

If you're upselling cabinets, demo the old hardware first, makes the new paint pop and justifies the cost.

Frustrated with clients who say yes to upsell then ghost on the final payment, had to lien a job last month over baseboard work.

Same here man, been chasing a $800 check for two weeks after upselling exterior trim, feels like pulling teeth.

SharkBite for plumbing but for painting? Nah, upsell real brass hinges every time, cheap crap fails fast.

Love seeing you guys sharing upsell wins, makes the long days worth it.
