Suggestive, Upselling and Cross selling Training Course

Course overview

Have you ever gone into a store intending to buy one certain and instead ended up purchasing something completely different? or perhaps you were convinced to purchase something that was a little bit above your means by the salesperson? In all honesty, we have all encountered something such to this in our daily lives.

While we are charging for our current transaction, we are notified of any special offers that the store or firm provides. The corporation gently informs us about the other services it offers in addition to the primary offering. Periodically, discounts are sent to the registered mobile numbers we provided.

Our banks frequently call us to tell us about new debit card options, and when we create savings accounts, bankers frequently try to upsell us credit cards. All of us have unintentionally fallen victim to different upselling and cross-selling strategies.

Salespeople attempt to upsell and cross-sell in an effort to persuade clients to make larger purchases. When a salesman tries to upsell a customer on a more expensive product than what they were originally interested in, this is known as upselling. Cross-selling is the practice of convincing a consumer to purchase a different but related product in addition to the original one.

What are some ways for a business to make more money from the same client? Ways to raise the lifetime value of customers? How can one strategy accomplish both the goals of improved customer experience and more revenue?

How can a closer bond with the client be forged in a way that encourages recurring business? How do you make sure that clients don’t walk out unhappy and without buying anything? Upselling and cross-selling take care of all these problems.

Introduction

Increasing sales from existing clients on a regular basis is an economical approach to add value for the company and its clients.
