What does UPSELL mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To try to persuade a customer to buy a pricier version of a product or an extra item along with it.
Upsell belongs to the vocabulary of shops, call centres and online stores, where a clerk or a web page suggests a larger size, a better model or an added service. It is a close cousin of cross-sell, which offers something related rather than something dearer. The word is also available as a noun for the sales technique itself, and it can carry a faint note of pushiness depending on how the speaker feels about the practice.
