Sharky - Cross Sales and Up-Selling The Right Way

[Barefootsies]

The one and only "Sharky" from PimpMansion gets on the mic this week to talk to us about cross-sales and up-sales. Why is Mastercard all in a tizzy over cross-sales? What's the difference between cross-sales and up-selling? The appropriate ways to increase your revenue while not pissing off your customers. Creating up-sell offers which actually work. And if you're an affiliate, how to find sponsors which don't harm the health of the adult industry with their cross-selling funny business.

In the news: COPA is finally struck dead! Kentucky's governor is taken to task for trying to steal domain names. And Germany seconds the call for an adult industry bail-out.

The real question, troll, is do YOU KNOW WHO SHARKY IS? Or do you just see him posting here and feel you know him because of that.

Damn, that is a long listen but well worth every second. Would someone email that link to hahaha please. If you started listening and stopped cuz you saw how long it was, go back and listen to the entire thing. You'll be a better man/woman for it.

Thanks to the OP for posting this.

OK so...

Why am I broke again? I mean if people in this business do not understand what good cross sales are and bad cross sales are and what an upsell is these are some pretty fucking sad days.

How to find Programs that do not hurt the industry? Seriously?

Why am I so fucking broke?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Anyways just muttering to myself

CHop chop!

Barbecue and barbecue accessories are the new hot up-sell!

[alias]

Just check the join pages on the sites you promote, if you want to really test use a protected or prepaid card.

Check domain join and referral join, don't forget to look for cross or upsales once you login as surfer POV.
