To leave a shining lasting impression with your client, how you end your task matters. Below are tips from top Taskers about how to close your task!
Cleanup
- Clear away any dust created from drilling. Be thorough with the cleanup—dust from drilling can get into unsuspecting areas!
- Tasker Isaac S. always tapes a plastic bag directly under the areas he has to drill into the wall, which catches any dust created from drilling and makes for easy cleanup.
- Clear away any excess boxes or trash—it’s a great practice to leave the house in better condition than you found it.
Confirm Placement
- Be sure the client is fully satisfied with the finished product! It’s easier to move the item while you’re there than to have to come back to move it.
- Do a final check with your client—does anything else need to be mounted?
Final Communication
- Taskers suggest that you tell the client how you mounted the items, including:
- What tools you used.
- How it works, if applicable (e.g. for ceiling lights/fans).
- Any considerations they might need to take when removing or moving the item from its new place.
Create a Lasting Relationship With Your Client
- Did you enjoy working with your client? Did they love the work you completed? That’s great! Creating a lasting relationship with further tasks can help you and your business.
- Upsell yourself! Top Taskers recommend that you thank the client for hiring you and let them know what other categories you task in, should they ever need more help. You can get some of your most loyal clients this way.
These tips from Taskers can also apply to other task categories so while you may now be expertly prepared for any Mounting task, remember that there are transferable skills you’re acquiring, too!
