Summary

They’re past the basics and testing the good stuff. This play surfaces trial users engaging with premium features so your team can upsell with perfect timing.

Why this works

  • Targets accounts showing early interest in advanced functionality

  • Aligns outreach with clear usage signals

  • Converts interest into revenue before trials end

Goal

(1) For the reader

Turn premium-curious trial users into high-tier customers.

(2) For the company

Upsell earlier, close faster, and maximize trial ROI.
