Sales Request Inc. Unveils Customer Inside Sales Plan

Sales Request Inc., headquartered in Setagaya, Tokyo, has announced the launch of a new service aimed at optimizing revenue through existing customer relationships. The Customer Inside Sales Plan is specifically designed to enhance upselling and cross-selling opportunities for companies with established customer bases.

What is Customer Inside Sales?

Unlike traditional inside sales focused on acquiring new clients, the Customer Inside Sales Plan emphasizes existing customers by identifying potential upsell and cross-sell opportunities. This specialized approach enables businesses to maximize their customer lifetime value (LTV) by leveraging their current relationships within client organizations. By proposing additional solutions to departments already using their services and exploring previously untapped departments, companies can create new sales engagements and drive revenue growth.

Target Audience for the Plan

This innovative plan caters to a variety of organizations:

• - Businesses with multiple products that require a compounded SaaS framework.
• - Companies that possess a customer base but lack the structure for effective upselling and cross-selling, thus failing to maximize their LTV.
• - Organizations lacking sufficient resources in their sales or customer support departments to expand into additional departments or make growth-oriented proposals.

Sales Request takes the reins in identifying key decision-makers to facilitate strategic approaches tailored to each client’s organizational structure and usage patterns, ultimately generating high-impact sales opportunities.

Key Features and Advantages

This plan offers several standout features:

Key Decision-Maker Research and Cross-Department Approach

• - Conduct research within client companies to identify departments currently utilizing services and other departments that may benefit.
• - Implement personalized, one-to-one outreach strategies for each decision-maker involved.
• - Options for list-sharing and supporting the creation of contact lists as required.

Utilization Status Hearings and Proposal-Driven Sales

• - Engage with implementation departments to gauge their service usage, pinpointing areas for upsell opportunities.
• - Propose solutions based on proven success stories to encourage cross-selling in other departments, ensuring that offers are tailored to suit the particular phase and attitude of each customer relationship.

Sales Development and Execution Informed by Product Understanding

• - Tailor sales strategies based on comprehensive knowledge of product strengths and backgrounds, optimizing the main appeal points.
• - Move beyond templated scripts by customizing messages to suit specific circumstances.
• - All interactions will be documented in the CRM system, ensuring a thorough handover of customer feedback and insights.
