Cross-selling and up-selling
Training program Cross-selling and Up-selling
The final decision to buy is based on the customer’s confidence. If he has already bought one of your products, this is a vote for confidence and a clear signal of continued confidence.
In our cross-selling & up-selling sales training we aim to activate this sales potential. Our aim is to teach the attendees cautiousness and to analyse the customer’s situation based on that in order to actively provide him with suitable products or improvements.
In order to pass on these skills, we have developed a comprehensive format that addresses all decisive details of cross-selling and up-selling. Let alexander verweyen BUSINESS CONSULTANTS support you in expanding your business model, helping you identify concealed sales potential.
Cross-selling
Cross-selling aims at offering suitable additional products to the customer. If he buys a drilling machine, this will create the need for screws, dowels, new drill bits etc.
Many companies do not take this opportunity sufficiently serious.
And yet, the conclusion is obvious: In selling a certain product, they will create a whole range of options. Missing this opportunity is not acceptable to us.
Where else do we get a chance to actively influence the customer’s needs? And this is where we from alexander verweyen BUSINESS CONSULTANTS start: The trust, which made the customer buy your product, may now be used to successfully offer the corresponding peripherals. We are sure that this approach will have a great impact on your sales.
This way you will have the opportunity to effectively expand the scope of selling a product.
Up-selling
The method of up-selling is based on the same idea as the one of cross-selling. Here too, the options resulting from the purchase of your product will be shown to the customer. Nevertheless, we are not talking about the additional products and/or peripherals but rather about an improvement of the product that has already been sold.

Up-selling: The masterpiece in sales

Mutual understanding for more sales opportunities
In this sales training we want to activate additional sales potential and offer higher quality services using specific techniques and procedures.
In practice, this will only work if the customer is convinced of such resales and higher sales.
Implementing this will be difficult and this is where our attendees will notice the effect of our training. As in any of our sales trainings, we want to intensify the collaboration between the buyer and the seller, thereby making it more productive.
The better you get to know the customer on business level, the more opportunities you have to definitely identify his needs. At the end of the way, there is always the perfect understanding for the customer’s specific business model. We trust that we are able to significantly facilitate this way to your staff. Based on this, the contents of these cross-selling and up-selling trainings will show their full effect. This way, the attendees will be able to filter real purchasing signals and motivations and to effectively implement in successful sales.
