Poll: Do you ever offer clients complementary services to increase profitability?

Comple or Compli? For some reason, my colleagues leaned toward the Compli meaning.

*Complimentary means expressing a compliment or favorable. It can also mean free in reference to items or services provided as a courtesy.

Complementary refers to enhancing or emphasizing the qualities of another person or thing.*

So, Compli means freebies to butter up a client in hopes of better grip on him and more work. May be considered one of the ways "to increase profitability."

Complementary is not free. It's a sale of additional services for a price on top of the original product, also called Upsell. Say, help with marketing or media research in the target country, if a translator is local.

Profitability would be highly dependent on the return on time investment vs pay for the words translated over the same time interval. Grab your abacus first:-)

Not worth it, methink.

Can the originator clarify the question please?
