Overview

Personnel changes at a customer create great upsell opportunities. When an internal executive is promoted, they typically look to make their mark in the first 90 days, including evaluating existing technology and services - and buying new ones. Getting in front of these executives early gives you the chance to increase your odds of expanding your contract into a new department, sell more seats, etc. When the personnel tracker in ZoomInfo notifies you of an internal promotion at a customer you can automate sending a congratulatory message to capture this opportunity. Plus, a new job is a natural conversation starter, since people are already fielding plenty of congratulations from their extended networks.

Driver Definitions

Conversion Rate (CR) This metric indicates the proportion of leads that convert into customers. A higher conversion rate suggests a more effective engagement and follow-up strategy.

Average Deal Size (ADS) This refers to the average revenue generated from each successful deal. Maximizing the average deal size is essential for increasing overall revenue, especially when the number of conversions is limited.

Volume of Promotions (VP) This metric represents the total number of internal promotions within your client base or contacts that are identified for this strategy. It provides the base number of potential upsell opportunities available through this approach.
