Answer: (A)

Upselling should add value by offering upgrades or bundles that fit the guest’s preferences. At NBC, the best approach is to listen to what the guest is celebrating or how they’ll enjoy the cake and then suggest options that genuinely enhance their experience. This might mean a larger cake for a bigger gathering, a bundle that includes a gift item or convenient packaging, or complementary add-ons that align with what they’re looking for. When the suggestion is aligned with the guest’s needs and tastes, it feels helpful and tailored, not pushy.

Choosing only the most expensive item, regardless of what the guest wants, can come across as pushy and erode trust. Avoiding all suggestions to prevent pressure misses opportunities to improve the guest’s experience and may leave value on the table. Offering only free samples with no upgrade possibilities also misses chances to enhance the purchase with useful add-ons. The right practice is to present thoughtful, appropriate upgrades or bundles that genuinely add value for the guest and fit the occasion.
