Rethinking Strategies That Have Been Around For Years<br />
=====================================</p>
<p>Last night I received an email… honestly, I didn’t read the whole thing – in fact, I didn’t get past the first sentence or two… Not because the topic didn’t catch my attention, quite the opposite actually.</p>
<p>The topic was about UPSELLING. And, although it was referring to marketing online… my mind immediately went to a waitressing job I had college. I use to be a waitress at a restaurant that offered incredible customer service training. One of the courses we were required to take was about upselling. (If you think this has nothing to do with eBay… think again 😉 Keep reading…)</p>
<p>Here is what upselling looks like in the restaurant business…<br />
“Would you like fries with that?”<br />
“How about some ice cream on your warmed slice of pie?”<br />
Or<br />
“Sure, I could get you coffee with that… but, a café mocha is a perfect complement. Would you like to try one?”<br />
“Would you like another drink?”<br />
“How about cheese on your hamburger?”<br />
“Was that a large orange juice?”<br />
… all asked while shaking your head ‘yes’ 😉</p>
<p>By the time my customer’s added cheese to their burger, ordered a large drink, added ice cream to their desert and upgraded to a café mocha – the bill went up $5 easy… and that translated to higher tips for me.</p>{"id":13,"date":"2008-06-01T07:24:02","date_gmt":"2008-06-01T07:24:02","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/?p=13"},"modified":"2008-06-01T07:24:02","modified_gmt":"2008-06-01T07:24:02","slug":"rethinking-strategies-that-have-been-around-for-years","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/rethinking-strategies-that-have-been-around-for-years\/","title":{"rendered":"Rethinking Strategies That Have Been Around For Years"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>=========================================<br \/>\nAuction Strategists Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Brought to you by Jenni Hunt<br \/>\nwww.jennihunt.com<\/p>\n<p>In this newsletter:<br \/>\n=========================================<br \/>\n1.
