Had a guy come in for a basic ant treatment last week, upsold him a full Termidor perimeter and $350 annual warranty - closed it right there. Orkin pushes this hard in their contracts, and IME it turns one-off jobs into recurring revenue without much extra work. Who's your go-to brand for that kind of add-on?

yeah but customers hate the renewals, always bitching about the price hike

SharkBite fittings are for plumbers, not us - stick to actual pest jargon like Temprid for upselling roaches.

FML, tried upselling a similar warranty last month and the customer ghosted me after signing, now I'm out the time.

that's rough, happens too often with these residential pests

don't skip the demo - show them a Termidor tube and explain the colony kill, or they'll walk.

felt that, my first upselling attempt bombed but now it's 30% of my bookings
