  • Upsell: Identify and manage upsell opportunities with existing clients.

  • Events & Trade Shows: Attend key industry events to enhance brand reputation and generate new business opportunities.

  • Analysis & Optimization: Track and analyze sales performance to identify improvement levers and optimize conversion rates.
