Cross selling is sales practice where in retailers offer customers additional merchandise to which
they are ordering, in an effort to increase sales volume. This is frequently the case in telephone mail
order sales. For example ;- If a customer wants to buy a Pencil only but the retailer tries to sells him
eraser, sharpener, etc, to increase his sales volume, then this process is known as Cross selling.

This is the concept by which the business can suggest combination material for ordered materials
during sales order process by using condition technique concept.
