Sales Strategies: Maximizing Optimum Black Friday Revenue
Strategy 1: Lead with Netflix on Us
Tactic: Use Netflix as primary value driver for 500Mbps+ customers
Sales Script:
"Here's what makes Optimum's Black Friday deal incredible: when you upgrade to 500Mbps or faster, we give you a full year of Netflix completely free.
That's $186-$276 in value, depending on which Netflix plan you choose. You get premium internet speed AND premium entertainment—no extra charge.
If you already have Netflix, we'll take over your account and stop your current billing. You keep everything you've saved—shows, preferences, profiles—but Optimum pays for it.
This offer is only available through the end of the year, so now's the perfect time to upgrade."
Result: 60-70% of customers choose 500Mbps+ tier for Netflix value
Strategy 2: Upsell with Tiered Gift Cards
Tactic: Use gift card tiers to motivate speed upgrades
Sales Script:
"We have tiered gift cards this Black Friday—the faster you go, the bigger the card:
• 1/2 GIG: $100 gift card • 5 GIG: $200 gift card (that's double!) • 8 GIG: $400 gift card (that's four times more!)
So if you're thinking about 5 GIG, you get $200 to spend on anything Optimum—service, devices, premium features. That's like getting two months free.
The 8 GIG gets you $400—basically a full year of service discount. Which tier makes sense for your household?"
Result: 40-50% of customers upgrade to higher tier for gift card value
Strategy 3: Emphasize Price Lock Security
Tactic: Position price locks as protection against future rate increases
Sales Script:
"One thing customers worry about is their bill going up. With Optimum's Black Friday price locks, that's not a problem.
Here's how it works:
5 GIG: Your rate is locked for 3 years
8 GIG: Your rate is locked for 5 years
That means no matter what happens to our pricing, your bill stays exactly the same for 3-5 years. You have budget certainty.
Most competitors only lock rates for 1-2 years. Optimum gives you up to 5 years. That's real peace of mind."
Result: 70-80% of customers appreciate price certainty and choose locked rates
Strategy 4: Highlight East Region Exclusive
Tactic: Use regional exclusive as urgency driver for East footprint customers
Sales Script:
"We're running a special promotion just for our East region customers. It's called 'Take Back the East,' and here's what it means:
ANY speed tier you choose—whether it's 300Mbps or 8 GIG—your rate is locked for 5 years.
That's unprecedented. We're not offering this in other regions, and it's only available through the end of the year.
So even if you start with 300Mbps, your price is protected for 5 years. That's incredible value and peace of mind."
Result: Regional exclusivity creates urgency; 50-60% conversion lift
Strategy 5: Winback with Price Drops + Total Care
Tactic: Target dormant customers with combined price drop + Total Care discount
Sales Script:
"I see you were an Optimum customer before. We'd love to have you back, and we're offering special winback pricing this Black Friday:
• $10 price drop on your speed tier (or $5 on premium speeds) • Additional $10/month off if you add Total Care (our support service) • That's $20/month in savings for a year
Plus, if you go with 5 GIG or higher, we'll give you a $200-$400 gift card as a welcome-back bonus.
We've improved a lot since you left. Better speeds, better service, and these Black Friday prices. Can we get you back?"
Result: 30-40% of winback targets reactivate with combined offer
Strategy 6: Bundle Offers for Maximum Value
Tactic: Combine Netflix, gift cards, and price locks into comprehensive package
Sales Script:
"Let me show you what we can do for you this Black Friday:
You upgrade to 5 GIG and here's what you get:
Netflix on us for 12 months ($186 value)
$200 gift card (after 90 days)
3-year price lock (no rate increases)
That's $386 in immediate value, plus rate protection for 3 years. Your bill stays the same while you get premium internet and entertainment.
This is the best offer we run all year. It's only available through the end of the year."
Result: Bundled offers increase perceived value by 3-4x; 65-75% close rate
Objection Handling: Turning "No" Into "Yes"
Objection 1: "I'm happy with my current provider"
Response: "I understand. But here's what you might not know: Optimum's Black Friday offer includes Netflix free for a year, up to $400 in gift cards, and price locks up to 5 years. Most providers don't offer anything close to this. Even if you're happy now, these deals could save you hundreds. Can I show you the numbers?"
Objection 2: "Your speeds aren't fast enough"
Response: "Actually, Optimum now offers up to 8 GIG speeds—that's 8,000 Mbps. That's faster than most competitors. Plus, with our Black Friday offer, you get Netflix free, a $400 gift card, and a 5-year price lock. You get speed AND value."
Objection 3: "I don't want to switch providers"
Response: "Switching is actually really easy—we handle everything. We'll transfer your service, keep your email if you want, and make sure there's no downtime. Plus, you get Netflix free for a year as a thank-you for switching. Most people say it's the easiest switch they've ever made."
Objection 4: "What happens after the Netflix year ends?"
Response: "Great question. After 12 months, you can either continue Netflix at their regular rate or cancel—it's your choice. But you'll still have Optimum internet, your price lock protection, and you'll have had a full year of free Netflix. It's a win-win."
Objection 5: "I'm worried about my bill going up"
Response: "That's exactly why we have price locks. Your rate is guaranteed for 1-5 years depending on the speed tier. No surprise increases. Your bill stays exactly what we quote today. That's the whole point of the price lock."
Objection 6: "The gift card sounds too good to be true"
Response: "It's real! The gift card is our way of saying thank you for switching. You just need to maintain good standing for the first 90 days, then the card is yours. You can use it on any Optimum service or product. It's our Black Friday special."
Objection 7: "I need to think about it"
Response: "I totally understand. But I want to be honest—this offer is only available through the end of the year. Once we hit January, these deals go away. If you're interested, I'd recommend deciding soon so you don't miss out on the Netflix, gift card, and price lock. Can I answer any other questions to help you decide?"

Can we get you back?"
Script 5: Price-Sensitive Customer
You: "Hi! Looking for internet service?"
Customer: "Yeah, but I need something affordable."
You: "I hear you. Here's what makes Optimum affordable this Black Friday:
First, we have price locks—so your rate stays the same for up to 5 years. No surprise increases.
Second, we give you up to $400 in gift cards that you can use toward your service. That's like getting months of service free.
Third, we throw in Netflix for a year—that's $186 you're not paying out of pocket.
So when you add it all up, you're getting premium internet at a price that's actually lower than most competitors. Plus, you know exactly what you'll pay for years.
What's your budget? Let me show you what we can do."
