Definition
Up-sell is a marketing term for the practice of suggesting higher priced products or services to a customer who is considering a purchase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.21.240.2 (talk) 12:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC) The definition was incomplete and inaccurate as it was written. I added, ", or in addition to,[1]" to the third sentence, and provided three references, because in common use "upselling" refers to selling an upgrade or selling an additional product or service. Ask any manager at McDonald's (or any fast food restaurant) what they mean by "upsell" and they will not say, "persuading the customer to purchase a different product instead of their original order". That would be bad business, as you can imagine. Plus, selling a different product is cross-selling, as the article states. --Markworthen (talk) 18:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
