English term or phrase: upsell to
It is a measure of the strength of small to medium business buying power that the technologies once considered enterprise-only are making their way into smaller companies. One of those technologies is the storage area network or XXX. XXX technology is the most effective form of storage pooling and has been the envy of the proverbial SMB's eye, until they saw the price tag.

Fibre Channel XXXs are costly and you need an expert on site to run it and maintain it. However, that was the only option for many years.

Many XXX vendors have assumed that price is everything to the SMB and have assumed that they will buy on that criteria alone. One executive suggests that there is a bait-and-switch play in which half-sized products are offered at half the price, just to get the entree and then ***upsell to*** a more expensive subsystem. However, that could well be short-sighted.

アップグレード
Explanation:
確かにcinefilさんがご指摘のように、正しくはアップセルなのですが、まだマーケティングの手法としてそういうやり方がある、という程度の使われ方にとどまっているように思います。

販売の現場では、アップグレード、あるいはグレードアップという言葉が使用されている例が多いと思いますので、一応ポストしておきます。
