"When I am at the service station, I am often asked if I need a car wash, a bottle of water, or any washer fluid or oils. I think it's great to offer choices to customers, so, for that reason, I come prepared to up-sell your customers any product or service that will benefit them."

Many service stations rely on selling more than just fuel or primary vehicle needs, such as windshield washer fluid. If you have experience working as a Service Station Attendant, tell a brief story of a time when you maximized a sale during a customer interaction. If you are new to your career, think about the times you have gone to a service station. What other products or services were available to you?

"Every time I sell fuel, I also offer a discounted pack of car washes, washer fluid, and snacks. These are all items that are easy to upsell since they are related to driving, road trips, and regular vehicle maintenance. I would say, on average, I upsell around 20% more of the original transaction. This up-selling makes a significant difference for my employers' bottom line."
