Hi BV!
I thought maybe I should chime in since it seems like the trendy thing to do is to post about cross sells
I agree with you BV and we think that revshare is supposed to be a partnership too (no xsells on quickbuck revshare join forms, never have been, never will be), we definitely see decreased retention from cross sells, especially lately with the credit crunch...that's just us though, what do we know?
We buy and sell a few cross sells, but we're tiny compared to some people.
Plus if the cross sell you're adding to your join pages is a shorter trial length than your own trial length, there is a great big chance that the customer will run out of credit before it's time for you to rebill them on the main purchase.
I hope you found my post informative, please don't piss on me
