Selling your product or service has never been more challenging. It takes extensive knowledge, a deep understanding, a well-developed strategy, and the ability to build relationships. Numerous selling disciplines that encourage consumers to spend more money range from cross-selling to up-selling.
Do either of these scenarios sound familiar?
- You go to your local mobile-phone store to trade in your phone and purchase a new one. While completing your purchase, the salesperson recommends you purchase a case and a charger too.
- You arrive at the mobile-phone store, intent on trading in your older phone for a new one. You have your eye on a basic model, but the salesperson talks you into the latest model with extra storage capacity and a superior camera.
Upselling encourages customers to purchase a comparable higher-end product than the one in question. Cross-selling invites customers to buy related or complementary items.
In this session, we’ll dig into both tactics. Each offers distinct benefits and are mutually beneficial when executed properly. We’ll also cover other successful strategies such as relationship selling and conversion selling, covering typical scenarios for the various strategies. You will walk away with successful strategies to enhance your business and improve your bottom line
