Program description
Give your team the skills to cross-sell and upsell holistically.
Your customers interact with your service professionals 10x more than they do with your sellers. Are you equipping all of your customer service reps with the skills to upsell, cross-sell and service accounts effectively? Ensure a higher level of service by recognizing sales opportunities in customer interactions while maintaining the edge of positive defining moments.
Your customer service reps weren’t hired to be sellers, but exceeding customer expectations requires being ready to respond to their need. Show your teams how to listen for cues and clues to take advantage of opportunities to bring sales into service—and increase organizations’ profitability while enhancing customer relationships.
