For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term “upsell”, let me use an example from one of the world’s most famous companies to illustrate the point:

You may have had other, more intangible reasons, ranging from philanthropical to personal but lets be brutally honest with ourselves for a second: on the most base level, the main goal of a business is to earn income for its owners.

I think we need to run this like a 12 step meeting:

My name is Marc Goldman and I am a business owner who is out to make money with my business. (whew that felt good)

So, with that off my chest, lets begin our meeting.

Since my goal is to have my business produce substantial and lasting profits, I am constantly on the lookout for new and improved ways to add more income to the balance sheet.

We have tried and tested many different ideas, techniques and strategies to increase our cashflow and without a doubt, there is one method above all others that we have discovered to increase our sales:

Adding upsells to our order form.

That’s right, regardless of all the different traffic techniques in the world, even with proven sales copy and conversion methods in place, even with years of studying and applying various direct and indirect marketing approaches, the one thing I have found that brings in the most money to our company is the ability to upsell each individual customer on an additional item they did NOT intend to originally purchase.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term “upsell”, let me use an example from one of the world’s most famous companies to illustrate the point:

When people walk into fast food giant McDonalds to order a simple hamburger or a Vanilla shake, without fail they are presented with the phrase that has helped this company to dominate the fast food market:

“Would you like fries with that?”

Other fast food outlets will ask you, "Would you like a drink or an apple pie with your meal?" This is another very effective example of an upsell.

These fast food giants sell millions of dollars worth of extra food and drinks worldwide every year, because they know how to effectively use an upsell.

So now you may be saying that’s all well and good for McDonalds but I am in a totally different business. I don’t sell fast food.

Guess what? Upselling is a sales technique that can work for any business.

And the best part is, if you are selling online, you don’t have to train staff like McDonalds does in order to get them to remember to present an upsell to every single customer who walks in the doors.

Our business has been using upsells for the past 7 years to increase the revenue we make from each individual customer (and we don’t sell anything close to fast food, instead we sell software and digital information).
