I would recommend a "phased" introduction of the heavier bat.
Have her use the correct sized bat in BP and then she will slowly but surely get stronger with the new one and come to the conclusion the new one just feels better and hits further (eventually).
Or -
Have somebody else recommend the new bat to her - like a coach or somebody else she respects (My DD's first reaction to me saying "Up" is always an immediate "DOWN!")
Also could have her hit for distance off the tee. That will start to open her eyes. (again assuming NO extremes here where the new bat IS too big and she can't get somewhat equivelant bat speed going with it)
