The idea is that these 6 levers enable us to understand the needs of a prospect or customer, in order to trigger a purchase, taking into account their specific behavioural characteristics. Today we sometimes speak of SONCAS(E) by adding an E for &#8220;Environment&#8221; or &#8220;Ecology&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/la-me-thode-soncas-1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Source: Uptoo<\/p>\n<p>The link with upselling is quite simple: once you have segmented your customers with the SONCAS method and therefore understood the specific needs of each segment, you are able to offer them adapted products and convert them more easily.<\/p>\n<p>For example, for SaaS software, you will have a start-up plan for freelancers, then for SMEs, etc.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-positioning-upsell-opportunities-at-the-right-time\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-positioning-upsell-opportunities-at-the-right-time\"><\/span>#2 Positioning upsell opportunities at the right time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The design of your product should encourage your customers to keep discovering new features: keep the barriers to entry low and keep the product simple enough for users to get interested quickly.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, you don&#8217;t want your product to be so basic that users get bored. Design a product that has more to offer than it initially appears, so that they continually discover new features over time and are therefore willing to listen to potential upgrade options.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the ultimate advice is of course to manage your timing: you have to offer your customers the upsell when you know they need it the most: take the example of Zoom, which offers its videoconferencing services for free for a limited period of time and then, once this period is over, offers the paid subscription.<\/p>\n<p>You can also offer upsells when customers successfully use your product or when you are about to launch a new and improved integration.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-help-your-teams-to-value-the-upsell\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-help-your-teams-to-value-the-upsell\"><\/span>#3 Help your teams to value the upsell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The idea is to make it worthwhile for your sales team: as remuneration is an important factor in motivating your sales people, you really need to integrate upselling and cross-selling into the commissions they can earn.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, make sure your sales team is well trained in the products involved in the upsell. Rehearse the presentation techniques needed to demonstrate how a complementary or higher quality item benefits the customer to increase the chances of them saying &#8220;yes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-center \"\n    data-id=\"38313\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Qu'avez-vous pens\u00e9 de cet article?<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upselling and cross-selling are often confused.
