What do you do if your sales pitch isn't convincing customers to upsell or cross-sell?
Upselling and cross-selling are effective strategies to increase your sales revenue and customer satisfaction. But what if your sales pitch isn't convincing enough to persuade your customers to buy more or different products or services from you? How can you improve your sales skills and overcome objections or resistance? Here are some tips to help you upsell and cross-sell with confidence and assertiveness.
-
Align with the customer:When faced with an objection, agree with your customer’s sentiment before addressing their concern. This creates a connection, easing their defensive stance and setting the stage for a more effective conversation about value.
-
Showcase success stories:Use third-party references to demonstrate how your product or service has benefited others in similar situations. This builds credibility and can often sway customers by showing them the practical applications and successes of what you’re offering.
