Module 6: Customer Service & Bar Etiquette
Upselling Basics
Upselling is the skill of recommending better or additional options to enhance the customer's experience. Done well, it improves the customer's night — and increases sales naturally.
✓Key principles:
- Be natural, not pushy
- Suggest based on the customer's preference
- Highlight quality or experience
Examples: - "Would you like to try our premium version?" - "I can recommend a smoother whiskey if you prefer." - "This cocktail pairs really well with a citrus garnish."
Good upselling = a better experience, not just higher sales. Recommend things you genuinely think the customer will enjoy.
