Upselling statistics

[Fadzuli]

Hi guys,

Have you guys tried this method before. I always hear that Mc Donalds started this concept of upselling from their staff asking us.."Sir do you want to upsize, that's 50cents more and you can get this and that"..

Just based on that 50cents upsize, Mc Donalds actually made more millions than they did previous years before they started it.

So just want to know have you tried upselling your products/services from your CORE products/services?

What are your statistics of people getting those upsells?
Out of 10 customers - 2 get the upsells - 20% conversion
Out of 10 customers - 5 get the upsells - 50% conversion

Some sharing from you would be great too.

For online startups (SAAS) like Remember the Milk, the conversion rate from free accounts to paid is around 2-5%.
