What if you could double β or even triple β your revenue without finding a single new client? In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most underused marketing strategies in the creative business world: the upsell. Most creative service providers leave thousands of dollars on the table every single year because they never offer their clients anything beyond the base package. That ends today.
I'll cover what an upsell actually is, why it doesn't have to feel pushy or gross, whether it works for service businesses (spoiler: absolutely yes), and I'll walk you through exactly how I use upsells in my own stationery business β from onboarding all the way through to post-project follow-up.
