As a parts salesperson, your job is to find opportunities to either upsell or cross sell additional items to a customer to enhance the experience they have with your dealership
One of the ways to increase the sales in your parts department is through a process called upselling. Upselling is selling a product to a customer that is a little more expensive but offers a better value in terms of what they receive for their money.
Cross selling can be another solid strategy. While upselling is helping a customer understand the value in a more expensive product, cross selling is selling a complementary product to a customer that relates to what they are already buying.
By upselling and cross selling, you are creating opportunities for your customers to maximize the life and experience they have with their equipment. Plus, you are growing your parts department into a strong and profitable part of your dealership.

It’s critical that your parts department staff knows how to ask good questions!
Clements believes asking questions about a customer’s piece of equipment is always a good way to find out what your customers know and then you can work to educate them quickly and efficiently.
This encourages them to purchase additional parts they might need or to transition from buying aftermarket parts online to buying the OEM parts they should be using from you.
In fact, part of your job in upselling is to understand the needs of different customers and help them understand why it makes sense to pay a little extra to get a whole lot more.
