Selling add-ons is one of the major keys in developing a business and maximizing selling opportunities. Lay the groundwork for selling add-ons early in the presentation by asking the right questions. Find out what the appropriate add-on(s) will be, and then introduce them later in the presentation. Bringing up an additional item without first laying the groundwork may be perceived as pushy and aggressive. Asking the right questions to discover appropriate add-ons will be perceived as a customer service.
