Why it matters
- Expansion is the cheapest pipeline you have. Systematic identification turns existing accounts into a growth engine.
Best practices
- Score maturity and expansion signal together.
- Size the opportunity before you chase it.
- Make a real go/no-go call, not a hope.
- Prioritize where the champion can sell internally.
Common mistakes
- Expansion left to chance conversations.
- Opportunities chased without sizing or ROI.
- No go/no-go — everything is 'maybe'.
Key questions
- Which accounts show the strongest expansion signal?
- Is the opportunity real, sized, and winnable?
