How to offer every service to every client without being pushy

cross sales

At Success Tax Professionals, we see it every day: many small business owners work incredibly hard, but leave money on the table because they don’t maximise the services already available in their practice.

That’s where a structured approach to cross-selling and bundling comes in.

Why it matters

Cross-selling works because it:
  • Increases average transaction value
  • Meets more of your clients’ needs in one place
  • Creates upsell opportunities into higher-value services
  • Enhances perceived value of your firm
  • Reduces competitor influence
 Implementation Steps for Accountants

  1. Catalogue your services – make sure clients know you do more than compliance.
  2. Train your team – role-play how to recommend services naturally.
  3. Personalise recommendations – use client history to suggest relevant services.
  4. Create bundles – package services like tax planning + benchmarking + BAS review.
  5. Communicate clearly – in meetings, via email, or on your website.
  6. Monitor & optimise – track KPIs like service uptake and client satisfaction.
  7. Incentivise staff & clients – rewards, loyalty programs, and recognition.
  8. Promote consistently – highlight seasonal offers and share client success stories.
Example

A client comes in for their annual tax return.
  • The accountant introduces a tax planning session and a business benchmarking review as a package.
  • The client sees clear value and convenience in getting all their needs met under one roof.
  • The firm increases revenue, deepens the relationship, and the client gets better outcomes.
At STP, we believe cross-selling is not about pushing, it’s about helping clients see the full picture of how you can support them.

More services delivered = stronger relationships, higher profits, and clients who won’t go elsewhere.
