4. Get humor from experts. What do Jay Leno, Jim Carrey, and Bob Hope have in common? They don't always write their own material. They buy jokes from others.

You can do same. Pull ideas from Reader's Digest (one of world's most successful magazines--and it's full of humor!) Rework jokes to fit your style and today's topics. Subscribe to joke and humor services. Type "morning show prep" into any search engine and see where your favorite DJ's get all their funny stuff. Many of these services offer free humor written fresh by professionals.

5. Remember funny lines you hear on TV and in movies. This is so simple it hurts. A LOT of funniest people on TV and radio have watched hundreds of movies. They have an amazing knack for remembering funny lines that fit whatever situation they are in.

Humor doesn't have to come naturally to you. If you weren't class clown in school, don' t worry. You can learn to be funny.

Memorize half-a-dozen good one-liners. When a situation arises where one of your memorized quips would fit, let it fly. Don't be shy or tentative about it. Say your line loud and proud. If you let customer know you aren't sure your line is funny, they will be quick to let you know you bombed.

And here is one last trick comedy experts use (but won't admit to.) After you deliver your humorous line, look customer in eye and chuckle. Then wait. Don't say anything. Nine times out of ten customer will start to laugh...or at least smile.

1. Bundle several related products or services together. Drop price below what total would be if customer bought all products separately.

When a customer inquires about a single item, point out she can get that item PLUS a great deal more by purchasing your bundle.

You will find many customers just can't resist bundle bargain. Announce your new bundle with flair. It can pull in orders faster than you can fill them, especially if you advertise heavily to existing and previous customers who already have a good taste for what you offer.

2. "It works fine by itself, but it REALLY works when you add THIS." If your product or service works much better with a complimenting item, be sure to tell customers about it.

It is surprising how many products and services go hand in glove. It's hard to have one without needing other.

Years ago I wrote press releases for $75. A great many customers bought release, but never got around to sending it to media. So I started writing AND sending press releases. The $75 press release became a $295 release-and-distribution. Almost no one bought press release by itself after that.

3. If a little worked, a LOT will work even better. As soon as you learn a customer is having success with your product or service, offer them a good deal on more of it.

Sheila's family likes yellow bars of soap one company sells. When distributor who services her account hears about this, he offers her a deal on six bars each and every month.

This works as well for management consultants as it does for soap sales. If you solve one problem for a company, pitch them on letting you solve three or four more problems for them. Later you can convince them to let you handle all their problem solving needs.

Successful upselling needs to be at core of every business or professional practice. It can instantly multiply your profits. You might well go from just getting by to living comfortably, and from living comfortably to rolling in wealth.

As you can see, super-sizing every order has to do more with planning than with any special selling skill. Get good at fulfilling a need. Then create packages and strategies that sell even more of your solution to each customer.
