Upsell existing customer videos

Upsell existing customer videos that expand account value

Use this workflow when upsell and expansion outreach should feel relevant to the account, not like a broad promotion blast. BHuman helps teams send more personal upgrade, add-on, and expansion videos without recording one-off messages for every customer.

When to send this workflow

Healthy account ready for more

Send a personalized expansion video when usage and adoption suggest the customer is ready for a bigger plan or add-on.

Product milestone unlock

Follow up when the customer reaches a stage where the next tier or add-on becomes more relevant.

Renewal-adjacent expansion moment

Use a more personal upsell message before or alongside renewal when the account is healthy and value is clear.

Personalization

Fields worth personalizing

FieldExampleWhy it matters
first_nameOliviaKeeps the message person-to-person instead of feeling like a mass campaign.
company_nameLakeview SystemsMakes the expansion message feel specific to the account, not generic.
current_planGrowthLets the video acknowledge the customer's current setup before suggesting a next step.
recommended_upgradeEnterprise analytics add-onKeeps the message anchored around one concrete expansion option.
csm_namePriyaShows who owns the relationship and makes the next step feel familiar.
booking_linkhttps://calendly.com/priya/expansion-reviewTurns interest into an actual expansion conversation without extra friction.

Setup

How to launch this workflow

Step 1

Choose the expansion signal first

Start with one signal such as high usage, plan limits, new-team rollout, or feature adoption rather than every possible upsell trigger.

Step 2

Map the fields that make the offer feel relevant

Use the current plan, recommended upgrade, owner, and booking link so the video sounds like account guidance, not a broadcast promotion.

Step 3

Record one concise expansion video

Keep it focused on why the upgrade is relevant now and what the customer gets from taking the next step.

Step 4

Trigger from account health, lifecycle stage, or renewal prep

Launch with CSV or recurring exports first, then automate from your CRM or customer success platform once the motion proves itself.

Copy ideas

Copy-and-paste video scripts

Use these as starting points, then adapt the tone to your team and workflow.

Healthy account upsell prompt

Use this when the customer is getting value and the next expansion step is realistic.

Hi {{first_name}}, I wanted to send a quick note because {{company_name}} seems to be getting strong value from the {{current_plan}} plan. The next thing that may be worth looking at is {{recommended_upgrade}}, especially if your team is expanding usage. If you want to review it with {{csm_name}}, here is the easiest next step: {{booking_link}}.

Lifecycle-triggered expansion follow-up

Use this when usage or product milestones suggest the account is ready for more.

Hi {{first_name}}, quick note because teams on the {{current_plan}} plan often look at {{recommended_upgrade}} once they reach this stage. Since {{company_name}} is already there, I thought it would be useful to send a more direct recommendation. {{csm_name}} can walk through it here: {{booking_link}}.

Renewal-adjacent expansion message

Use this when expansion should be part of the renewal conversation.

Hi {{first_name}}, as {{company_name}} reviews the next phase of your account, this is a good moment to look at whether {{recommended_upgrade}} belongs in the conversation. Since you are already on {{current_plan}}, the easiest way to talk it through with {{csm_name}} is here: {{booking_link}}.

Render the campaign, then route videos into delivery channels

Once the videos are generated, BHuman can push them into email, SMS, API, CSV export, or landing-page workflows instead of keeping them trapped in a manual studio flow.
