The expansion revenue playbook: sell more to who you already have

Your order history already knows who is due to buy again. This is how to turn that into a weekly list your reps actually work.

The principle

Expansion revenue is the cheapest revenue in the business and the most commonly ignored, because nobody owns it. Give it an owner — human or agent — and it shows up.

Build the weekly list

  • Define a re-order window per product line, even a rough one.
  • Score every account on cadence, spend trend, support sentiment and payment behaviour.
  • Cap the list at what your reps can genuinely work in a week — 20 beats 200.
  • Attach the reason to every row. A rep who knows why calls with confidence.
  • Measure conversion on the list, not on activity.
