Upselling is all about understanding customer needs and making appropriate suggestions.

I’d inform them engagingly and enthusiastically while handling their transactions, making it feel like a valuable addition to their shopping experience.

If I’m unsure how to assist a customer, I would admit my uncertainty but assure them that I can find the right solution. I’d either seek help from a fellow team member or refer to store resources to provide accurate information, ensuring that customer satisfaction is always my top priority.
