What topics will the course cover?
We’ll cover strategies and tactics to help you upsell and suggestive sell. Upselling is when you offer a customer a more premium product, service or experience than the one they are purchasing. A closely related form of suggestive selling is cross-selling, when you offer additional products and services to complement a purchase.
Over the course of two days, we’ll explore the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY of upselling and suggestive selling. You’ll build new knowledge, confidence and your personal toolbox of sales tactics. Specific topics we’ll look at include timing, navigating the line between upselling and overselling and dissecting guest satisfaction.
Importantly, we’ll also discuss how upselling, beyond generating additional revenue, plays a vital role in improving overall customer satisfaction and developing customer loyalty.
Who will benefit most from this course?
You can benefit from this course regardless of the product, service or experience you are selling. The tactics you’ll learn apply to hospitality, retail and the full array of service and experiential industries.
Whether you’re a manager, a business owner or any other professional who interacts with customers as part of your job, you’ll gain valuable new skills. Contrary to what you might think, upselling doesn’t only apply to sales positions. We’ll talk about upselling opportunities across the customer journey. In fact, your front-line customer service interactions are often an ideal time to suggest upgrades, add-ons and extra luxuries. You’ll learn tactics you can apply yourself as well tactics you can build into the customer experience carried out by your colleagues and team members.
What might surprise those who attend this course?
Effective upselling isn’t necessarily about pushing your most expensive product. Your top-of-the-line product isn’t always the most profitable, and just because it’s the “best” doesn’t mean it’s the one that will answer your customers’ needs and desires.
We’ll explore the importance of mastering product knowledge and how we can unite this knowledge with a deeper understanding of our guests and their motivations to deliver a win-win situation for both your business and your customers.
