Don't pitch new services until you've delivered on what you promised. Upselling too early kills trust. The order is: deliver results, build trust, find real expansion opportunities, then sell.

Don't pitch new services until you've delivered on what you promised. Upselling too early kills trust. The order is: deliver results, build trust, find real expansion opportunities, then sell.
When do you pitch? When do you bring up this idea of expanding? If you start pitching services, new services, new opportunities too early, you will erode that trust. So do not pitch, do not bring up new services before you deliver results. Before delivering results, no sales. You got to deliver on what you promised, on what you sold. The right sequence is deliver value, enrich or enhance the trust that you've built, and then identify opportunities and then expand.
