Man, I've been doing residential interiors for a bit now, and upselling that trim refresh is key to padding the job without the client blinking. Last week I had this kitchen repaint where the cabinets were scuffed, so I threw in a quick Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane on the woodwork - they ate it up. But some folks push back hard if you don't frame it right, like 'this'll make the whole space pop without the full demo hassle.' TBH, I saw a thread on r/paintingbusiness where a guy shared his script for it, and it's been gold. Anyone got tips on when to skip it or if there's better trim paint out there? Feels like half my jobs turn into full color consultations anyway. Shoulda started tracking these upsells sooner.

last job i upsold trim paint and the cat knocked over the can before it dried, turned the whole baseboard into a furry masterpiece. client laughed but made me redo it for free, lesson learned on pet-proofing the site. sherwin-williams emerald urethane is slick though, sticks like glue once its on right. shoulda taken a pic of that mess for the shop's hall of shame. whats your go-to line when they push back on the price?

Hah, upselling trim is like offering fries with the burger - half the time they say yes just 'cause it's right there, but I once had a client who thought 'refresh' meant free touch-ups and nearly chased me off the ladder with a roller.
