The 3-Second Rule That Doubles Your Upsells
Michael Barbarita • February 11, 2025
I'm about to share the exact script that transformed my clients' upsell success rates. But first, understand this:
You have 3 seconds to make your upsell offer feel natural.
The 3-Second Rule:
Acknowledge first purchase
Bridge naturally
Make relevant offer
Wrong way: "Would you like to add X?" Right way: "Since you're getting A, you'll probably want B to make it work better."
Results from a plumbing client:
Upsell acceptance: 23% to 64%
Average sale: +105%
Zero customer complaints
Remember: Make it feel like help, not selling.
