Up-selling Skills for the Customer Service Representative

Workshop Purpose: Cross-selling, up-selling can be a valuable add-on skill for both revenue and non-revenue generated departments. However, management many times are reluctant to ask their staff to up-sell, because of the push back they receive from the representatives.  Management tends to notice that most reps feel uncomfortable "selling" to the customer they say their job is strictly service.  To overcome their fears and remove the stigma of “feeling pushy” we introduce selling skills and techniques as UPSERVICING VS Selling.  We have found that once the service and support representatives understand the benefits of becoming a revenue generated department and introduced to the “soft sell” techniques, most reps are willing to give it a go!  We can help your reps develop the skills and motivation they need to incorporate selling into their daily business routine.

What You Will Learn:

  • Understanding the benefits of becoming a revenue generated department
  • Understanding that selling is the same as "up-service" providing the customer the ability to make an informed decision.
  • Developing "soft" selling techniques.
  • Developing "soft" questioning techniques
  • Listening for sales opportunities
  • Probing for unspoken needs
  • Proposing solutions for Up-Servicing!
