Your next from Raymond question Brian from comes Peterson James.

Brian Peterson

taking gentlemen. Thanks for Hi question. the

I strong expansion wanted the to hit activity. So on

reached XXX how the So there quantify cross-sell to over and Is versus referenced three around you what trended the upsell quarters. way is between expansions split last that's customer last the few quarters? any over

Jack McDonald

this upsell purposeful one would some is to-date opposed cross-sell from into good cross-sells given I cross-sell. because still just We numbers, had half-dozen upside. that piece they is came the have cake, some majority but as of principally is make the a on we are it vast to Yes. which than the and better But that them And channel need is of were we customer a activity them of talked good account. the today our actually, more to the say is fact it right. as model, about, it, don't icing than upsell and of an

Jack McDonald

No.

things. those all I think it's of

on sales. the example talked because of of clearly we to about biggest and starting we is the just various incremental the were understaffed the contributors a if year, from baseline force field growth, were opportunities organic maybe for So organic last X% growth sales probably of

XXX acquired And the to would gross dollar of right. pricing is same the renewal put I XX strength, the and Incremental rate forces another then category. basis another points. an to points. So probably on adding XX XXX again basis points, holding Platinum businesses, cross-sell, of in sales probably basis XX XXX there upsell, head is there opportunity sales, between of that to

a added we than rate are Now that takes to organic that, experiencing you it But not growth right, if all we you to higher up, do. going are perfectly ever currently. execute few against

XX% number are a we to products, that innovation. That efficient not Upland got the drive Analytics, we for done product we of being mentioned analytics our again, very these able but So put but bundles is through customer also a our into way, products that And customer combine making the management execute. and by doing outlook our engine. because employing R&D percentage as integrated relevant now Tim to why in the and remain are opportunities, investment that of in outreach flat terms And knowledge as now. to sort Tim satisfaction like customer conservative investing we we together have support like continue across of taking that's example, earlier, products predicate we earlier, with terms engine setting X%, multiple with products to the expense of are only real ComSci a solution in and with of seeing to have in here other revenue we what PSA the mentioned R&D

in I incremental multipronged just it's like So approach all day one to growth, to continue eggs a you can you just basket. and which day because are in putting drive me, but your
