Which selling approach involves presenting additional items that complement the original purchase?

• A. Product selling
• B. Suggestive selling
• C. Telephone selling
• D. Clearinghouse selling

Answer: (B)

Suggestive selling is presenting additional items that complement what the customer is already purchasing. This approach aims to add value by offering related products or upgrades that fit the customer’s needs, increasing the overall sale without being pushy. For example, suggesting a protective case or extra batteries when someone buys a device helps complete the purchase with items that enhance its use. This differs from product selling, which focuses on promoting a single product’s features; telephone selling, which is selling over the phone; and clearinghouse selling, which isn’t a standard method for adding complementary items.
