Launch Tree - How Far Do You Go?
While I've made lots of money on upsells and some on downsells, I don't really feel comfortable taking it too much further than that. Maybe I'm cheating myself by projecting my own opinion unto the process instead of letting the customer decide.
Here's what I mean, I'm comfortable with this process:
Option 1. Customer says Yes to the initial offer, then gets presented an upsell for about a 50% increase over the initial price.
Option 2. Customer says No to the initial offer, then gets presented a downsell for about a 50% reduction off the initial offer or some type of free trial / bill me later option.
That's as far as I take it. It's a tree with not too many branches, but I'm comfortable with getting the customer on my list and selling to them again in the future.
Now the advice that I'm reading says that this is a more effective strategy:
Option 1. Customer says Yes to the initial offer, then gets presented an upsell offer
Option 1.B. Customer buys the initial offer but says No to the upsell - then present them with a downsell after the upsell offer
Option 2. Customer says No to the initial offer, then gets presented a downsell reduced price off the initial offer.
Option 2.B. Customer says No to the initial offer, but Yes to the downsell - then give them an upsell after the downsell
I'm curious to know, how far do you take the upsell, downsell process? Am I being naive by not feeling comfortable taking it a step further?
