Make Money Online – Upselling Tips to Increase Online Sales
Upselling is a sales technique designed to increase the sales. It’s an important business concept as it requires sales people to not be order takers, but instead be active sellers. Upselling involves promoting upgrades or add-ons to customers that are extra purchases and increase sales. When you upsell you offer the customer another product for purchase. As the customer wasn’t planning on purchasing the product, but instead is ready to pay only for what they’ve already decided on, the salesperson must use effective strategy. It’s up to the salesperson to make the customer see why he or she needs to buy the extra item(s) immediately. Incentives are crucial features of upselling. Incentives such as a discount and/or free shipping give the customer good reasons to purchase something extra right away. For example, the “buy one, get one” (bogo) incentive works well to increase sales in many industries such as fast food and fashion accessories, whether the offer is to get the second item for 50% off or for free. Free shipping is often a good way for web-based retailers, or “e-tailers,” to encourage consumers to buy extra items, such as by offering free shipping on all orders that total a certain minimum amount.
It is a relatively easy way to boost sales volume without generating any additional leads. Once the customer has decided to make a purchase, the sales rep tactfully convinces him to purchase additional features or upgrade to a slightly higher grade version of the same product. Remember the last time you went through a mcdonald’s drive-through and they asked if you wanted to “supersize” your value meal? they were upselling you, and they do it because it works.
Upselling is easy if you think of your main business as helping customers. Think about the problems your customers come to you with. What does it really take to solve their problems? Chances are, your customer needs a lot more than the simple inexpensive solution they first consider. By grouping together several different products and services, you can give the customer a more advanced package that goes much further toward creating a satisfying solution.
Since it’s done after the customer has decided to go ahead with a major purchase, the hard part of the sales conversation has already been done. You’ve already established rapport, identified needs, summarized, presented benefits, asked for the order and handled objections. Upselling is just presenting the information in a “by-the-way” assumptive manner. Also, make sure that you include an upsell opportunity in your autoresponder within your shopping cart. For example, someone buys an e-book. In your autoresponder, thank them for their purchase and ask them if they would like to register for the teleclass on the same subject for a discount. So if it is so easy, you might be asking, how can I go wrong?. The 3 biggest mistakes in upselling: I can hear it now as I write this article. “I hate to sell”, “I don’t want to bother people”, and the ever popular “they are probably going to say no”.
Upselling is one of the most powerful things you can do for your marketing. Here’s what you need to know to make it work for you. Today we examine a concept that is so powerful it can increase your average order by up to 300%. That concept is called upselling. Upselling is vital to your success online and I consider it a core skill for any internet marketer.
