Offer more when the customer's needs have changed

An existing customer has more staff, another location, or a task their current service no longer covers. Give OutreachGuy that context and a clear boundary around what can be offered.

This workflow starts with a known customer and a specific reason to ask about their needs. It does not assume every account should buy more. The example below is fictional.

Prepare the current picture

Provide the service or plan the customer already has, its approved terms, recent messages, and any unresolved issue. Add the change you want to ask about and the source of that information.

Supply the extra services your team can offer, their prices and availability, and who approves exceptions. Do not put an unconfirmed offer in the brief just because it would make a convenient answer.

An example brief

James has a Tuesday office clean. He recently told us more staff are moving in. Ask whether the current service still works. If he needs more help, identify the areas and timing, then use only our approved options. Send unusual requests and price changes to Maya. Leave the plan alone if he is happy with it.

Ask before offering

James, is the Tuesday clean still enough with more people in the office, or are any areas needing attention later in the week?

If he says the kitchen needs attention by Friday, check whether a smaller extra visit would solve it. If the problem is quality, route it to the service owner. Selling more should not become the default response to a complaint.

Keep approval explicit

A useful outcome is a stated need, an accurate quote or handoff, and the customer's decision. Keep “interested” separate from “approved.” Account or service changes need the appropriate confirmation; a question about an upgrade is not an instruction to change a plan.

Review your connected account, sending rules, and reply handling before starting. Stop further offers when the customer declines or requests a pause.

Work through a complete example

The customer upsell guide includes qualification questions, a quote example, and a no-change branch. If the customer has already cancelled, start with cancellation feedback rather than assuming a bigger offer will help.
