Answer: Suggestive selling

Explanation: the recommendation to purchase an extended warranty service in addition to the purchase of a laptop computer by the salesperson is an example of suggestive selling. It is a form of stimulus-response presentation involving suggesting an initial or an additional purchase (the extended warranty). It is also known as add-on selling or upselling and is used to increase the purchase amount of the buyer thus increasing revenue of the store.
