Just common sense, of course you want to upsell to earn more commission.
Off-topic kind of, but Bell reps get paid a lot more than that. And it's standardized, they don't get paid more depending on which package the customer chooses, they get paid the same amount regardless of the tier chosen.

However... they do get paid extra for add ons, so signing a customer for the 25 dollar package would prove beneficial to the rep, as then they can upsell and get more money per channel for the deal.


edit for clarification: my info of this is from 2008 to 2011ish. It may have changed since then.
