# Expansion Play
The other act-skill on the right side. Two of the three ways a company grows happen after the first sale ([`docs/operating-model.md`](../../../docs/operating-model.md)), and this is one of them: `account-health` flags the `EXPANSION-SIGNAL`; this turns it into an angle and hands it to sales with the customer context attached — so it isn't a cold internal restart.

A renewal date is not an expansion trigger; pushing growth on an account that isn't getting value yet is churn with extra steps.
2. **Name the angle.** Which way does it grow — an adjacent team, a new use case, deeper use of what they already have? Is it cross-sell (a new thing) or more of the same (more seats, more volume)? One angle, named.
3. **Build the case on realized value.** Start from what they've already gotten — the outcome the book can show — and extend it to the new area, in their words, not a feature list.
4. **Re-arm the champion.** Expansion is carried internally, not pitched in. Give the champion the one-page case they can forward, and the line that makes it their idea — not your quota.
5. **Hand to sales with the CS context.** The handoff is the account, the angle, the realized-value case, and the cha
