As you glance around the apartment, you notice a squeaky door hinge, a broken dishwasher, or a handle that\u2019s come loose. This is your moment to shine and upsell your skills! By letting your client know that you\u2019re able to help them with their other to-dos beyond the task at hand, you have the potential to book one\u2014or many\u2014more tasks with them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Here are a few questions that you can use to help upsell your business either when you\u2019re with a client in-person or when you\u2019re chatting with them in the app:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Are there any other to-dos on your list that I can assist with?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">I see you have a [potential task to take care of], and I\u2019m skilled in this category. Would you like me to take care of it for you?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">I am also experienced in [insert name] category. Do you have any tasks in that category that I can assist with?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Another way to upsell with a client before invoicing a task is to personalize your closing message. You can do this in your app under \u201cView Profile\u201d then \u201cClosing Messages.\u201d Here is a great spot for you to thank the client for hiring you, let them know what other skills you have, and provide them with your profile URL link in case they would like to hire you again directly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Remember<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">: Upselling is an easy way to get repeat clients and build your business, and you never know when a happy client might refer you to one or more friends. As your network continues to grow, the tasking possibilities are endless! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Taskrabbit, you have control over how you market your business.
