Upselling is a sales strategy based on selling more qualify model of a product to your existing customers. Similarly, cross selling is trying to sell two related products together. For example, while selling a TV, trying to sell an audio system with it is a cross-selling example.

These two sales techniques may seem as a pure sales strategy that only focus on increasing sales. However, both customers and businesses need upsell and cross selling to provide and receive more qualified shopping experience.

Jeffrey Gitomer, the famous sales guru, says that upsell means something for a company only when the strategy is used for helping customers and creating better customer experience. If your customers win, you win. So, tell your customer how they also profit with upsell. Here is an example: A hotel offers breakfast 50% cheaper if the guests buy breakfast before checking in. Here, both sides win, because customers will pay less for breakfast (unless they have a better quality and cheaper option outside the hotel). The hotel also benefits, since there is definite revenue coming from breakfast sales.

Upselling to your existing customers is much easier and more profitable than acquiring new customers. According to a survey conducted by Marketing Metrics, the potential of selling to a new customer is between 5% and 20%; however, the potential of making more sales to your existing customer is between 60% and 70%. If you give priority to create a qualified customer experience with upsell and cross selling, the number of your loyal customers increase. It is your loyal customers who really make you a winner.

Well, how do you convince your customers that upselling and cross selling are beneficial for them? Pisano comes to you with a practical and powerful solution.
