A step-by-step sales playbook for consultants to upsell premium MagSafe wallets—scripts, pricing, demos and 2026 trends to add fast revenue.

Sell MagSafe Wallets as an Upsell: Fast revenue for mobile consultants and on-site techs

Hook: You’re already in the customer's home or office, solving a problem — don’t leave extra revenue on the table. MagSafe wallets are a low-friction, high-value upsell that builds trust, convenience and recurring profit for mobile consultants and field technicians.

This playbook gives you a step-by-step system to sell premium MagSafe wallets (brands like Moft, Ekster, ESR) as an on-the-spot value add. It covers product selection, pricing math, scripts, demo tactics, inventory, POS, packaging, taxes, and follow-ups — optimized for consultants who have limited time, want clear ROI, and need proven language that converts.

Why MagSafe wallets are a perfect upsell in 2026

MagSafe adoption has matured since the mid-2020s: phones are thinner, people are consolidating pockets and purses, and magnetic accessories are expected by many iPhone users. For field consultants and on-site technicians, MagSafe wallets are especially attractive because they:

Deliver obvious, immediate value — attach in seconds; customers experience the convenience now.
Cost little to stock — compact inventory with long shelf life and few SKUs to manage.
Enhance trust — offering a premium accessory positions you as a thoughtful, solutions-oriented pro, not just a bill collector.
Fit multiple client use-cases — client gifts, emergency replacements, or polished add-ons to higher-ticket services.

Fast results: A simple revenue model

Here’s a realistic, field-ready pricing example you can implement today:

Buy mid-tier MagSafe wallets in small quantities (10–50 units). Typical wholesale/unit cost: $12–$28 depending on brand and features.
Set a retail price of $29–$59 per unit. That range covers economy to premium (Ekster/MOFT premium lines sell at the higher end).
Target conversion: even a conservative 10–25% close rate on client visits can materially boost monthly revenue.

Example ROI: If you sell 15 wallets/month at a $25 gross margin (buy $20, sell $45), that’s $375 extra. Scale that across a team of five techs and you’re adding thousands to monthly revenue with minimal complexity.

Step-by-step launch checklist (first 30 days)

Week 1 — Product selection + inventory

Choose 3 SKUs: economy, mid-tier, premium. Recommended mix: One slim (ESR-style), one card-eject or RFID-block (Ekster-style), one brand-collab or premium leather (Moft-style).
Order small test quantities: 10 of each SKU. This keeps capital low and lets you test what resonates.
Inspect each unit for build quality, magnet strength and packaging — you need products you’ll be proud to present.

Week 2 — Pricing, POS, receipts

Set clear price points and attach them to service bundles: e.g., “Standard screen repair + MagSafe slim wallet — $XX.”
Integrate wallet items into your mobile POS (Square, Shopify POS, Stripe Terminal). Create SKU codes so you can track sales and margins.
Print small price tags and a one-line benefit card (e.g., “Holds 3 cards, blocks RFID — attaches in seconds.”) to show in your kit.

Week 3 — Sales scripts + demo kit

Build a 20–30 second demo you can do while finishing a job: attach, show cards, show ejection/RFID, drop-in convenience.
Prepare elevator pitches for three scenarios: the busy professional, the parent, the gadget lover. (Scripts below.)
Set aside a demo unit on a lanyard or small display in your van so it’s visible but secure.

Week 4 — Launch + tracking

Start offering on real jobs. Track conversion rate, SKU popularity, and objections.
Collect short customer notes: “Bought because… ” This builds social proof for future pitches and online listings.

Field-tested scripts that convert

Keep language simple, benefit-focused, and non-pushy. Below are tested lines you can adapt.

Initial mention (casual, 5–10 seconds)

“I brought along a slim MagSafe wallet you might find handy — it snaps on in seconds and holds your daily cards. If you like it I can add it while I finish up.”

Value + urgency (when client hesitates)

“If you lose your wallet, this is a quick, low-cost backup that keeps your essential cards on your phone. I can gift-wrap one for $X and it’s covered by our 30-day return.”

Bundle close (when upgrading service)

“We can include a premium MagSafe wallet with the onsite setup today for $XX — I’ll pair your cards and show you the features. It’s our recommended add-on for clients who travel light.”

Demo tactics that shorten the sales cycle

Do it in 20 seconds: remove the demo from the package, attach, insert cards, show ejection / RFID, then remove and hand it to the client to feel. People buy when they can try.
Use a live pain point: If the client has a bulky case or complains about lost wallets, tie the wallet to that specific moment — “this eliminates that.”
Offer the “try-now, decide later” option: leave a demo unit and accept payment later via the POS link (easy with mobile invoice links). This reduces pressure while keeping the sale warm.

Objection handling (short and precise)

“It’s expensive” → “This is the premium model with an aluminum ejection system and RFID-blocking — typical retail is $XX; I can include a 30-day return if you change your mind.”
“I have a wallet” → “Totally — this is for days when you don’t want to carry a wallet. It’s also a great backup.”
“Does it affect wireless charging?” → “No — these are MagSafe-compatible and designed for safe wireless charging.”

Packaging, receipts and post-sale experience

Small touches increase perceived value and referrals:

Include a branded card with care instructions and a QR code to an online product page or video demo.
Provide a simple 30-day return policy and a one-year limited warranty (match the manufacturer when possible).
Record the sale in your CRM and mark the client for a follow-up: “How’s the wallet working?” — a two-week follow-up can yield reviews and referrals.

Client gifts and retention plays

Beyond direct sales, MagSafe wallets work as premium client gifts or loyalty rewards — especially for recurring accounts.

New-client gift: Offer a branded wallet as a sign-up reward for annual maintenance plans.
Referral incentive: Send a wallet to clients after they refer a paying customer. It’s tangible and memorable — see examples like local refurb and partner programs that drive referrals.
Seasonal promotion: Holiday gifts or “Back to School” bundles increase perceived value without deep discounts — use micro-event tactics from a modern retail playbook.

Sourcing, quality checks and brands to prioritize

Choose brands that match your client's expectations. In 2026, customers expect premium finish, reliable magnets and clear warranty information.

Moft — often known for slim, design-forward accessories that pair well with professionals who value minimalism and build quality.
Ekster — popular for card-eject mechanisms and RFID-blocking; appeals to customers who prioritize security and mechanics.
ESR — typically cost-effective, good for test inventory or economy tiers.

Quality checklist before you buy inventory:

Magnet strength: attaches securely across common cases.
Compatibility: supports wireless charging without disassembly.
Durability: stitching, leather finish, aluminum parts.
Warranty/return policy from supplier—this saves you headaches.

Legal, tax and bookkeeping basics

Selling physical goods on-site means you become a reseller. Keep this lightweight but compliant:

Collect and remit sales tax per your state/country rules. Use your POS to calculate tax automatically.
Record cost of goods sold (COGS) in your bookkeeping software. Track inventory counts monthly.
Have simple terms: returns within 30 days, restocking if opened beyond what the manufacturer allows, and standard warranty pass-through when applicable.

Scaling beyond one-person operations

When you’re ready to scale:

Standardize the pitch and demo across technicians — short roleplay sessions before shifts work well.
Centralize inventory and forecasting: reorder when monthly sell-through hits 60% of stock.
Consider exclusive bundles or co-branded packaging for larger clients (B2B), especially for commercial accounts or corporate gifting. See local partnership models like running a market-focused refurb program for inspiration.

Marketing plays to boost visibility and repeat sales

Use low-effort marketing to increase conversions and referrals:

Include a wallet photo in your service invoice and online booking confirmation with “add this to your visit” CTA.
Offer a short landing page or video demo hosted on your site — 20–30 seconds showing the swipe/eject mechanic converts well.
Ask for a quick testimonial photo and post it to your local business profile — social proof from real customers drives trust.

2026 trends & future-proofing your offer

In 2026, a few macro trends make MagSafe wallet upsells timely:

Accessory consolidation: Consumers increasingly prefer fewer, multi-purpose accessories — MagSafe wallets meet that need.
On-demand commerce for services: More consumers hire on-site pros and expect value-add buying opportunities during visits.
Sustainability preference: Customers are choosing durable, repairable accessories. Stock items with recyclable materials or repairable parts when possible.

Case study: Local Mobile Consultant — first 90 days

Jane runs a one-person mobile device repair business in 2026. She implemented this playbook with 30 wallets: 10 economy (ESR), 12 mid-tier (Moft-style), 8 premium (Ekster-style).

Investment: $720 total (avg $24/unit)
Pricing: $34 / $49 / $69
Results in 90 days: 24 units sold (conversion 16%), $1,060 revenue from wallets, $340 gross profit.
Non-financial wins: 12 adding to maintenance plan, 5 referrals that closed to higher ticket jobs.

Key takeaways from Jane’s run: keep the demo fast, lead with the immediate benefit, and always provide a visible demo unit. The wallets also increased perceived professionalism — several clients booked annual check-ups on the spot.

Measuring success: metrics to track

Focus on three simple KPIs:

Conversion rate: wallets sold / client visits (aim for 10–25%).
Average revenue per visit: incremental revenue from accessories.
Sell-through by SKU: which SKU moves fastest — helps reorder smarter.

Quick templates & assets

Two-line invoice add-on (use in mobile POS)

MagSafe Wallet — slim magnetic wallet for iPhone, holds 2–4 cards, supports wireless charging. 30-day returns. $XX

Follow-up SMS / email (two days after sale)

“Hi [Name], quick check-in — how’s the MagSafe wallet working for you? Reply if you need tips or want another color. —[Your Name]”

Referral message

“Refer a friend who books a service and get a free premium MagSafe wallet (or $XX credit) — thank you for supporting local small business!”

Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Overstocking: start small and reorder based on sell-through.
Poor demo: if the magnet feels weak or cards don’t eject smoothly, don’t use that SKU in front of clients.
Not tracking sales tax: set up POS tax rules from day one to avoid headaches.

Final actionable checklist (for today)

Order 3 SKUs (10 each) and a sample demo unit.
Integrate SKU into your mobile POS and set price points.
Practice a 20-second demo and two closing lines.
Start offering the wallet on your next 10 client visits and track results.

Remember: This isn’t just an upsell — it’s a trust-builder. Done right, MagSafe wallets turn short visits into higher-value interactions, increase referrals and position you as a consultant who delivers thoughtful, tangible solutions.
