Upselling Plans For Businesses

Upselling, selling more of what you got to the customers you already have. Sounds nice, doesn’t it. 38% of B2C and B2B businesses are making upselling a top marketing goal this year. And why not, sell more to the people who are trusting you to take their money already. I do it. My son’s running specialty shop does it. Maybe you should think about it as well.

Larson Notes & Satire: If you sell more than one thing why not do it. I sell direct mail to my telemarketing customers and telemarketing to my direct mail customers. My son sells socks to his shoe customers. If you even increased the amount of a sale by 5% on 10% of your sales what would that do to your bottom line?
