Did you know?
- In a professional Spanish marketing context, you might hear the English term 'upselling' used directly, as many corporate environments in Spain and Latin America adopt English business jargon.
- Because venta adicional is quite formal, a salesperson in a casual setting might instead say they are 'ofreciendo algo mejor' to suggest a better version of a product.
