Expansion hides in signals your team was never built to watch.

The signals no one on
your team is watching.
Internal conversations, company moves, and champion behavior — joined into a single expansion lead.
Champion Signals
Your champion's posts, internal relationships, and shifting influence.
Company Signals
Hires, funding, quarterly reports, and the C-suite's public messaging.
Internal Communication Signals
Frustrations, timing, and scaling language buried in your own calls, emails, and Slack.
CS is a revenue team. Treat it like one.
Cuelock watches all three signal layers and turns them into expansion leads your CSMs can act on.
What your champion is posting, who they're connecting with, and how their influence is shifting.

Getting Started
The lowest friction implementation you’ve ever seen.
Nothing to rip out.
Cuelock doesn't replace your CS platform. It connects alongside Gainsight, Vitally, ChurnZero, or whatever you're running today. It adds the expansion layer they were never built for.
Nothing to migrate.
Cuelock reads what you already have. Connect Gong, Slack, Gmail, and your CRM. No data migration, no historical imports, no cleanup projects. If the signal exists, Cuelock finds it.
Nothing to adopt.
Expansion leads arrive where your team already works. No new dashboard to check, no new tab to open. Your CSMs get a lead with evidence attached, and they act on it.

How we calculate this
We assume 8% of your portfolio has expansion potential in a given year. Your team currently catches about 20% of that — the obvious hand-raises in QBRs and support tickets. The other 80% hides in champion behavior, company signals, and offhand comments in calls and Slack that never get logged.
This is a directional model, not a guarantee. Your results will vary based on portfolio composition and customer base.
What CS Leaders Are Saying
Don’t take our word for it.
“We found $1.2M in expansion we didn't know existed. It was sitting in signals our team was already generating.”
VP of Customer Success
Series C SaaS
“For the first time, I walked into a leadership meeting with attributable expansion revenue. That changed the conversation about our team.”
Head of Customer Success
Growth-Stage SaaS
“The champion-level signals are what sold us. Nobody else was tracking what our buyers were actually doing between calls.”
CS Director
Mid-Market SaaS
“Implementation took two days. We connected Gong and Slack, and expansion leads started surfacing by the end of the week.”
VP of Revenue Operations
Series B SaaS
“We went from 108% to 122% NRR in one quarter. The signals were always there — we just couldn't see them before.”
Chief Customer Officer
Enterprise SaaS
“Our CSMs went from reactive to proactive in a week. They didn't have to change how they work — the leads just started showing up.”
