Land and expand strategy

Find where each account can grow, and the plan to get there.

true

Which account do you want to grow?

Trusted by 1700+ teams to close deals faster.

Your biggest accounts buy a fraction of what they could

One team, one contact

You sold to one department. You don't know the other teams, sites or subsidiaries with the same need.

No time to look

New logos eat your week. Expansion waits until the customer asks, or until a competitor gets there first.

Proof stays in one team

The first team got real results. The next team has never heard of them.

Map where the account can grow, then open the door

Cobl reads the account: deals won, emails, calls, CRM and news. It finds the teams, sites and use cases not covered yet, the sponsor who can open each one and the results to show them.

White space mapped

Teams, entities and use cases not covered, from the org, the news and what your contacts said.

Signals to act on

A new site, a reorg, a new leader, a team asking questions. Flagged when it happens, with its source.

Levers sized for quota

Each expansion with a likely value, a sponsor and a next step. You see where your number comes from.

Grow your number inside accounts that trust you

An existing customer already knows your team and your results. Expanding there is often a shorter path to quota than opening a new logo.

Questions about this use case

What is a land and expand strategy?

Land and expand means winning a first, smaller contract with one team, proving value, then growing inside the same customer. Growth comes from more users, new teams, new sites or subsidiaries, and new use cases. It works when the first project gives clear results that the next team can see.

What is the difference between upsell, cross-sell and expansion?

An upsell sells more of the same thing, such as more seats or a higher tier. A cross-sell adds a different product. Expansion is the wider term for any new revenue from an existing customer, including new teams, sites or subsidiaries.

How do you find expansion opportunities in an existing account?

Start from the results of the first project, then list the teams, sites and subsidiaries with the same problem. Watch for signals like a new leader, a reorg, a new site or a team asking about your product. Ask your champion who else should hear about the results. Cobl gathers these signals and suggests the sponsor to approach.

Does expansion revenue count toward an account executive's quota?

It depends on the comp plan. Some companies credit AEs for expansion in the accounts they land, others give expansion to account managers with their own quota. Check how your plan counts upsell, cross-sell and renewals before you choose where to spend your time.
