According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual, process harmonization is the degree to which an organization's processes are standardized and aligned across its business units1.

I thought ad-hoc selling was more about one-time deals, so I don’t think that fits here. It seems more like cross-selling to me.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like it could be up-selling if they were trying to get the customer to buy a more expensive phone instead.

I think this might be cross-selling because the rep is selling an additional product related to the phone.

I'm a little confused on the difference between cross-selling and up-selling. I'll need to review those concepts again before answering this type of question.

Okay, I've got this. The key here is that the sales rep is recommending an additional, complementary product to the customer's main purchase. That's the definition of cross-selling, so I'm confident A is the correct answer.

This seems like a straightforward question. The sales rep is clearly engaging in cross-selling by convincing the customer to buy an additional product (the case) to go with the main purchase (the cell phone).
