Complete expansion and upsell playbook for B2B SaaS — consumption-based upsell triggers, cross-sell identification, seat expansion, tier upgrades, NRR growth strategies, land-and-expand motions, expansion propensity scoring, and measuring expansion revenue. Use when designing expansion motions, identifying upsell opportunities, or growing NRR. Triggers on: "expansion selling", "upsell strategy", "NRR growth", "land and expand", "cross-sell", "expansion revenue", "seat expansion".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Expansion Selling

## Overview

The most profitable revenue doesn't come from new customers — it comes from
existing ones. New customer acquisition costs 5-7x more than expanding an
existing account. Yet most companies treat expansion as an afterthought. The
mistake: waiting for customers to ask for more instead of systematically
identifying and executing expansion opportunities. This skill covers the
complete expansion playbook: triggers, scoring, execution, and measurement.

## Frameworks Referenced

- **Winning by Design — Bowtie Funnel** — Post-sale expansion as revenue system
- **Jason Lemkin (SaaStr)** — NRR drives exit multiples (PE/strategic)
- **Marc Benioff** — Land-and-expand enterprise motion
- **Randy Seidl** — Relationship-led expansion: map stakeholders beyond the
  original champion; score trust before upsell. Load `sales-coaching` →
  `references/randy-seidl-relationship-selling.md`. Complements Benioff CRM
  land-expand structure (`crm-toolkit` → land-expand-account-plan).
- **Snowflake consumption model (Slootman, Degnan).** Land with **paid pilot**
  (low ACV entry); expand via **use cases** tracked in CRM; rep comp on booking

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/expansion-selling@sha256:25d4908a3d9220ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
