Upsell Landscaping & Lawn Care Services on Autopilot with RealGreen’s ServiceBot™

Every landscaping and lawn care business owner wants to provide more add on more lawn care services that their existing clients need.

Upselling is one of the best ways to dramatically increase your revenue without spending more on marketing or pitching new clients, and it helps make clients aware of all of the services you offer. However, getting you and your crew to consistently suggest additional services during every customer conversation is easy to forget and can feel uncomfortable. 

That’s where RealGreen’s ServiceBot™ comes into play.

By automating the upsell process, ServiceBot™ — part of our suite of CRM and invoicing features, helps landscaping companies increase their average order value effortlessly and efficiently.

Here’s how ServiceBot™ can help you boost your business by offering landscaping add-ons during the quoting process—without requiring extra work from your team.

What is RealGreen’s ServiceBot™?

RealGreen’s ServiceBot™ is a chatbot specifically designed for businesses in the green industry. As part of RealGreen’s robust suite of tools, it integrates seamlessly with Service Assistant® 5, the leading customer relationship management (CRM) software for lawn and landscaping businesses. ServiceBot™ automates much of the sales process, from generating accurate quotes to closing deals and even collecting payments.

What sets ServiceBot™ apart is its ability to handle upselling automatically. 

It interacts with customers on your website, guiding them through the quoting process and making personalized recommendations for additional services based on their property needs. Whether it suggests tree trimming, seasonal lawn treatments, or irrigation installation, ServiceBot™ can easily increase your revenue by offering relevant landscape services at the right time.

Identifying Opportunities to Upsell Existing Clients

Identifying opportunities to upsell existing clients starts with a deep understanding of their needs, preferences, and pain points. Begin by analyzing the services your clients currently use and look for areas where you can offer additional value. For example, if a client regularly uses your lawn mowing service, consider suggesting complementary services like garden bed cleaning, leaf removal, or shrub and tree trimming. Upgrading existing services to premium or deluxe packages can also be an effective upsell strategy. Additionally, offering maintenance services such as fertilization, pest control, or irrigation system maintenance can address ongoing needs. Seasonal or one-time services like holiday lighting or snow removal are also excellent opportunities to provide added value and convenience to your clients.

Proven Upsell Strategies for Lawn Care Companies

Implementing proven upsell strategies can significantly enhance your lawn care business. One effective approach is bundling core services with additional services or upgrades, making it easier for clients to see the value in a comprehensive package. Offering discounts or promotions for new services or upgrades can also incentivize clients to try something new. Exceptional customer service and strong client relationships are fundamental; satisfied clients are more likely to consider additional services. Regular client assessments can help identify upsell opportunities, ensuring that your offerings are always relevant. Finally, training your staff to recognize and communicate these opportunities effectively can make a substantial difference in your upselling success.

Upsell Ideas for Landscaping Services

Here are some practical upsell ideas for services that can add value to your clients and boost your revenue:

• Premium Lawn Care Packages: Offer packages that include additional services such as fertilization, pest control, or irrigation system maintenance.
• Garden Bed Cleaning: Enhance the appearance of your clients’ gardens with thorough cleaning and maintenance.
• Leaf Removal Services: Help clients maintain their lawns during the fall season with efficient leaf removal.
• Seasonal or One-Time Services: Offer services like holiday lighting or snow removal to meet seasonal needs and provide added convenience.

By presenting these options, you can cater to a wide range of client needs and preferences, ensuring they receive the best possible care for their landscapes.

Using Automation to Upsell Needed Landscaping Services to Existing Clients

With ServiceBot™, you no longer need to rely on your staff to remember to pitch extra services. The bot takes care of that for you by offering suggestions based on customer interactions and historical data stored in Service Assistant®. For example, when a customer is requesting a quote for basic lawn mowing, ServiceBot™ might automatically suggest upsells like aeration, fertilization, or pest control—tailored specifically to the customer’s property and past services.

One of the key features mentioned in RealGreen’s product catalog is the real-time pricing tables. ServiceBot™ ensures that quotes for these upsells are accurate and immediately visible to the customer, allowing them to make decisions right away. As the chatbot guides customers through the sales funnel, it can offer personalized recommendations for the types of services that make the most sense for each property, boosting your chances of closing more sales.

Getting Started with Upselling

Getting started with upselling requires a strategic and thoughtful approach. Begin by analyzing your existing client base to identify potential upsell opportunities. Develop targeted strategies based on your clients’ specific needs and preferences. Training your staff to recognize and communicate these opportunities is crucial; they should be able to explain the benefits of additional services clearly and confidently. Offering exceptional customer service and building strong relationships with your clients will also make them more receptive to upsell suggestions. Finally, regularly monitor and adjust your upsell strategies to ensure they remain effective and profitable. By following these steps, you can successfully implement upselling in your landscaping business and enjoy increased revenue and client satisfaction.

One of the standout features of ServiceBot™ is its ability to generate accurate quotes in real-time, even for complex services. Attracting new customers can be challenging, but ServiceBot™ makes it easier by providing accurate quotes and seamless payment options. According to RealGreen’s product catalog, the bot’s measur.it tool allows customers to trace their property using their finger or mouse, instantly generating a price quote based on accurate measurements. This not only makes it easier for customers to get an accurate estimate, but it also provides a smooth eCommerce experience, where upsell options can be accepted and paid for immediately.

Integrated with WorkWave Payment Processing, it offers secure, PCI-compliant payment options, allowing customers to pay for services on the spot. This seamless process ensures that no upsell opportunity is lost and that payments are collected efficiently.

Case Study: How One Fertilizing Company Uses ServiceBot™ to Drive Growth

A great example of how automation can boost upselling comes from a fertilizing company that integrated RealGreen’s ServiceBot™ (formerly known as Lawnbot) into their business.

Once they implemented ServiceBot™, things changed. The chatbot not only provided instant quotes but also recommended additional services during customer interactions. Customers could easily review these add-ons and agree to the upsell with just a few clicks. The company saw immediate results: conversion rates improved, and their average transaction value increased as more customers opted for the recommended services.

In addition, the seamless experience of ServiceBot™ led to higher customer satisfaction and faster service bookings. By automating the upselling process, this company was able to keep growing without increasing its sales team’s workload—a perfect demonstration of how RealGreen’s tools can make a big impact on business growth.
