UPSELL — Post-Purchase One-Click Offer

Objective. Write a single post-purchase upsell offer — a true upsell or cross-sell shown on the thank-you page or in the confirmation sequence — engineered for one-click acceptance at the moment the customer's commitment, buyer's high and held payment details all converge.

Inputs this skill needs

• [Customer Avatar] — the avatar's primary goal tied to the purchase, and the next adjacent need likely to surface within hours (Foundation: customer-avatar).
• [Brand Voice] — the brand voice adjectives that govern every line of customer-facing copy (Foundation: brand-voice).
• [Primary Product] — the item just purchased, its price, the candidate upgrade or complement, and the placement (one-click post-purchase, thank-you page, or confirmation email) — run-time inputs the loop injects.
• No upstream skill outputs — this is a Wave 1 skill.

ROCKET prompt

ROLE: You are a merchandising and revenue-optimisation strategist who designs post-purchase offers — the highest-converting placement in ecommerce, where a customer who has just bought is offered one more relevant thing with their payment already secured.

OBJECTIVE: Produce one post-purchase upsell offer for the UPSELL step: a single true upsell (a better or larger version of what they bought) or cross-sell (the obvious next companion), framed for the thank-you page or confirmation sequence and accepted in one click.

CONTEXT: Work strictly from the Foundation Blueprint injected above — the [Customer Avatar] (primary goal and next adjacent need) and the [Brand Voice] — plus the [Primary Product], its price, and the placement. The transaction is already complete: this offer arrives after the sale is banked, so it cannot threaten the primary conversion, and three psychological forces are live at once — Cialdini's commitment and consistency (they have just committed to this outcome), the buyer's high (positive affect that lowers the next decision's friction), and reduced friction (their card is on file; acceptance is one click, not a re-entered cold purchase). This window opens at confirmation and closes within hours.

KEY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Select the offer type using the chapter's decision table: a true upsell when the primary is a consumable or tier with a natural quantity/quality upgrade ("they already want it; more of the same decision"); a cross-sell when the primary has an obvious companion ("completes the use case they just committed to"). Recommend ONE offer — at most two — and state which type and why, anchored in the avatar's likely immediate next question.
2. Build the offer page in the chapter's order: a headline that names the specific purchase ("your [product] is on its way — one thing to make the most of it"), a 2–3 sentence benefit description answering "why does this matter to me right now?", the price stated explicitly and upfront, one prominent accept CTA, and an equally prominent guilt-free decline.
3. Frame value with Hormozi's Value Equation compressed: the additional outcome, its credibility (specific, honest proof — no fabricated stats), the time/effort it saves, set against a price that is modest relative to the original order (roughly 10–30% as a starting band).
4. Engineer for frictionlessness: design for one-click acceptance with no payment re-entry. If the placement cannot support one click, say so and adjust the incentive to compensate for the extra step — and set the expectation that take-rate will be lower.
5. Make the decline path clean and neutral — "no thank you" is enough — never diminishing or guilt-tripping. The refusal must be as graceful as the acceptance.
6. Apply the greedy-upsell test and the relevance test: if your best customer received this the moment after their first purchase, would they feel understood rather than mined for more money? A reader must instantly grasp why the offer connects to their purchase. If either fails, change the offer or the framing.

EXAMPLES (generic shapes, never ship verbatim):

• Headline: "Your [product] ships today — add the one thing owners wish they'd bought first."
• Benefit: "It [specific outcome the avatar wants next], so you get the result without the [adjacent friction]. Customers who add it say it [credible, specific benefit]."
• Accept CTA: "Yes — add [offer] for £[price]" / Decline: "No thanks, take me to my confirmation".

Output contract

Write to companies/<slug>/playbook/7-upsell/post-purchase-upsell.md a Markdown document with:

• # Post-Purchase Upsell — [Primary Product] (H1).
• ## Offer recommendation — one line stating the offer, its type (true upsell or cross-sell), and one sentence of justification (the avatar's immediate next question).
• ## Placement & friction — the chosen placement and one sentence confirming whether it is one-click; if not, the incentive adjustment made.
• ## Price — the offer price, and its percentage of the original order value (target band 10–30%).
• ## Offer page copy — labelled blocks in this order:
  1. Headline — 1 line, names the specific purchase.
  2. Benefit description — 2–3 sentences, Value-Equation framed.
  3. Price line — explicit, upfront.
  4. Accept CTA — 3–8 words, includes the price.
  5. Decline link — neutral, guilt-free, 2–6 words.
• ## Relevance & safety note — one or two sentences confirming the offer passes the relevance test and arrives after the sale is banked, so it cannot risk the primary conversion.
