How does the cross-sell system work with carpet cleaning bookings?+
When a carpet cleaning appointment is booked, the system automatically presents an upholstery cleaning add-on offer with bundle pricing that is lower than booking the services separately. The offer appears during online booking, in the booking confirmation email, and in the appointment reminder. If the client does not add upholstery cleaning at booking, the technician receives a prompt on their mobile app to offer it at the job site. This multi-touchpoint approach converts twenty to thirty percent of carpet cleaning clients into upholstery cleaning customers.
Can the system track fabric types and cleaning methods for each piece of furniture?+
Yes. Each customer record stores the furniture pieces that have been cleaned with fabric type, cleaning method used, and any special notes about condition or care requirements. When the customer books again, the technician sees the previous service details and knows exactly how to approach each piece. This institutional knowledge is particularly valuable when different technicians service the same customer and ensures consistent care for delicate or specialty fabrics.
