Practical Sales Training™> How To Convert > Not Sold Separately
What is it?
Not Sold Separately is a sales communication technique where you make it clear that something only works as part of the full package.
It’s the opposite of “a la carte.”
You’re saying:
“This bit only works when you get everything else that goes with it.”
By doing this, you:
-
Raise the value of the full offer
-
Stop people trying to pick apart your system
-
Position your product as a complete solution, not a collection of parts
How It Works
People naturally want to cherry-pick.
They’ll ask:
“Can I just buy that one bit?”
“Do I really need the whole thing?”
“What if I just try this on its own?”
When you say Not Sold Separately, you remove that option.
You make it clear that:
-
The value is in the system
-
The results come from how everything works together
-
The bit they want won’t work properly on its own
You’re not being awkward.
You’re being honest.
How You Can Use It
1. To protect your method
“This strategy only works as part of the full conversion system. On its own, it won’t get results.”
2. To increase average order value
“That’s part of our Full Launch Package — it’s not available on its own.”
3. To position your product as a system
“These tools are designed to work together — not as individual features.”
4. To manage client expectations
“We don’t offer standalone audits — we only work on full-growth projects.”
5. To simplify your offer
“One product. One price. No bits and pieces.”
The Goal
This isn’t about being difficult.
It’s about being clear.
Your product or service is more valuable as a whole — and that’s how people should experience it.
If they only use one part, they don’t get the results.
If they don’t get the results, they don’t stay.
And if they don’t stay, you don’t grow.
