@thomasarussellsr4 жыл бұрын
Business tip from the comments section... when discussing the repeat business idea around the coffee table, keep a log of what customers have purchased with wood type, finish used, what size router bit you used for the edge, joinery type and measurements, and photos. Then when they want an additional piece to match, you have more than just your memory to help you match the previous build that may be some time ago. Also re-scaling for different size main boards is one thing, but if you used a 1/4" round-over bit on a large piece, scaling it down too much for narrower boards on a smaller piece may look like you left out that detail to many non-woodworkers. Keeping routed and or carved details the same size helps tie the pieces together visually.

@timothyford15345 жыл бұрын
You guys are obviously on the right track. *PRO TIP Stop saying up-charge. When people hear the word 'charge' it tends to heighten their senses and make them weary do to the fight or flight response. Instead, use up-sale as the term when selling to or training people. The word sale makes people think they are getting a bargain or a deal. Using the prefix 'up' preloads people's subconscious to think 'more'. Resulting into the person subconsciously hearing; more bargain. When people think they are getting a bargain it lightens the mood. For them to think they are actually getting more of a deal causes their mood to elevate into an even better place and will be more apt to making the purchase. Training people to sell works similarly. The same kinds of reactions happen in the brain, only the person selling feels better about making the sale because of the similar sense that a deal is being given. Good luck with everything.
@chriskennedy73215 жыл бұрын
I agree. "Up-charge" is a different term which means to charge more for an item. A car dealer has a documentation fee, or "doc fee" which is an example of an up-charge. It's the act of charging more than the usual price, not a good long term strategy for a business. "Up-sell" is the term to use. Good salesmanship uses up-selling to add value to the customer's purchase, while also increasing the company's income. Good for the customer, and the business. I wanted to comment on the term "up-charge," so I was pleased to see that someone else had noticed the issue. I thought that it would be appropriate to leave the comment here. I also wanted to be clear that the correct phrase is "up-sell" not "up-sale," which likely means autocorrect has probably claimed another victim. I enjoy the channel, and I hope this comment is helpful.

Why would you question whether your table can hold you? Unless it's made of styrofoam and particleboard, you can body slam someone on it and it won't break. Funny story about that, lots of kids (and stupid adults) actually tried doing that because they saw it on pro wrestling, and they quickly learned that real tables are way stronger than they look. Your spine will snap before that table does. You might be able to upcharge for extra body slam resistance. Just ask if they have kids, and then ask if they want the table to break or if they want the kid to break when such an incident occurs.

Brian Bishop Yeah, do it. One thing a lot of real estate people are bad about, is putting their name and their real estate brokers name all over the stuff that they give to their clients. Well, as a homeowner, do you want that stuff plastered all over your house? No! So, encourage the real estate person to put the clients name on the front of it and maybe their real estate brokers name on the back of it and it will still be a statement piece that they will actually set out and use but it will accomplish all of the goals

Just some advice. Too much talking. Stay succinct and on topic. I didn’t even finish the video because I didn’t have the time to listen to the ideas. I would love a short video showing me the projects. No offense, but many watched this. Even more clicked to the next video. IMO

Unique might get you the $$ for your time and exp., but you can't compete with mass production junk. $800 for a kitchen table? Wow!

I dunno... up-charging sound a bit dishonest to me. Unless they ask for those accessories or particular type of wood then I'll give them the most reasonable price.
