Subscriptions are a powerful tool for driving loyalty and boosting revenue. They allow us to build trust and commitment with our customers through recurring value.
Odoo makes it incredibly easy to leverage subscriptions for upselling recurring products and services, offering additional value to your loyal customers. Remember, upselling is about offering a better version of what they already have, not just something different (like cross-selling).
Here's how to easily upsell within Odoo Subscriptions:
1. Access the Upsell Feature:
- Go to the Subscriptions app.
- Select any subscription that is in progress.
- You'll see an "Upsell" button at the top. Clicking this will automatically generate a new subscription proposal with a discount applied.
2. Add Additional Products/Services:
- In the upsell proposal, you can now offer additional products or services to the customer.
- Odoo automatically applies the same discount to these additional items as the renewed subscription, incentivising the upsell.
"Tip: Focus on recurring products or services offered at a discounted price to maximize the value for the customer and your recurring revenue."
- Confirm the new order. You'll see an "Upselling" tag on the top right side, clearly identifying it as an upsell.
3. Track the Sales Process:
- Use the "Sales" smart button at the top of the subscription to monitor the entire sales process and its different stages.
4. Manage All Upsells:
- As a company, you can easily manage all upsells by navigating to Subscriptions > Upsell.
5. Leverage Reporting for Insights:
- Odoo provides powerful reports to analyse your subscription performance, including:
- Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Navigate to Subscription app > Reporting to access:
- Retention reports
- MRR Breakdown reports
- MRR Timeline reports
- Use the filters and data selections to gain further insights into your recurring revenue streams.
