One of your top accounts, City Hospital, has been a loyal buyer of ABCx Pharma’s hypertension medication for years. However, you’ve noticed untapped potential within this customer base. Many patients at City Hospital may benefit from additional medications offered by ABCx Pharma, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs or diabetic medications. Recognizing this opportunity, you devise a plan to upsell and cross-sell these complementary products, not only to increase sales revenue but also to improve patient care and outcomes.

You gather your sales team for a strategy session focused on maximizing revenue from existing customers. During the discussion, you present the case of City Hospital as an example of untapped potential within the existing customer base. You challenge your team to identify similar opportunities within other accounts and brainstorm innovative approaches to upselling and cross-selling additional products. Through interactive discussions and role-playing exercises, you encourage your team to think creatively and strategically about how to leverage customer insights, address customer needs, and overcome potential objections to upselling and cross-selling efforts.
