Definition
Expansion revenue is the extra revenue drawn from the existing base through upsell, cross-sell and usage increases. It is the component that pushes NRR above 100% and the most efficient growth lever for a mature SaaS.
Why it matters
Expansion is often less costly than acquisition and rests on trust already built. Customer Success Manager and Account Manager share it: usage maturity on one side, negotiation on the other.
