Description

Why

CS already runs a set of expand/growth discovery motions in business reviews and renewals. Messaging should mirror those situations as use cases, not invent a parallel expand program. (CS co-review not required if we stay on this list.)

Situations to check for coverage

  1. More servers under coverage
  2. Additional technologies / BUs (MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Valkey)
  3. Professional Services attach on existing MS / Support (roadmap, expertise, or people-power gaps; health / performance assessments)
  4. EOL Support or PS to upgrade
  5. Support → Managed Services / ExpertOps
  6. Advanced → Premium (SLAs, contacts, Level 2 tech, screen-sharing)
  7. Service add-ons (contacts, Level 2 tech such as operators, ProxySQL)

Done when

  • Gap check each situation: covered vs missing in services / Support / ExpertOps / consulting / engine copy
  • Add or extend use-case copy (buyer situation, discovery cue, CTA) without inventing new play names

Out of scope

CS process redesign, external “expand program” narrative, niche extension kits as a separate program.
