About this prompt
This prompt writes an expansion email to an existing customer that opens an upsell or cross-sell conversation by referencing a specific result they've already achieved and connecting it to an untapped opportunity. It's designed for AEs, AMs, and CSMs who manage accounts after the initial close. Use it when a customer has been live for several months, results are visible, and there's a natural next step in scope or product.Expansion conversations fail when they arrive too early, feel transactional, or reference results the customer doesn't actually care about. This prompt builds a message that grounds the expansion ask in a specific outcome the customer has seen, frames the next step as a strategic review rather than a sales call, and keeps the tone relational. Fill in [CUSTOMER COMPANY] with the account name, [X MONTHS AGO] with how long they've been live, [CURRENT SCOPE] with what they're using today, [CONTACT NAME / TITLE] with who you're emailing, and [EXPANSION OPPORTUNITY] with the specific add-on, tier, or new use case you're proposing. The 'use real numbers if known' instruction in the result reference is the most important customization note — actual metrics like '23% reduction in time-to-close' or '14 reps onboarded in the first 60 days' produce dramatically more credible emails than placeholder language. Use this prompt when you have concrete results to cite; if the customer is still in onboarding or hasn't seen results yet, hold the expansion conversation until you have something specific to point to.The prompt
