Handling Cross-Selling with Nue

Adding products to existing customer accounts should drive revenue, not create billing headaches. Nue handles all the pricing math and billing alignment automatically, so your sales team can focus on growing accounts instead of wrestling with proration calculations and invoice chaos.

The Challenge with Traditional Cross-Selling

Most billing systems make adding products unnecessarily complicated. Your sales team has to create separate quotes, manually calculate prorated charges, and hope the billing dates align correctly.

  • Lost deals because reps abandon complex cross-sell attempts
  • Pricing errors from manual proration calculations
  • Customer confusion from receiving multiple invoices
  • Sales time wasted on administrative billing tasks
  • Revenue recognition delays from billing misalignment

Your expansion revenue suffers while your team drowns in administrative work.

How Nue’s Cross-Selling Works

Nue gives you two flexible ways to add products to existing subscriptions, each designed for different business scenarios.

Change Orders

Sales reps modify active subscriptions through the Change Cart workflow. Select the subscription, add the product, and Nue handles everything else. It calculates prorated charges, aligns billing dates to match the existing subscription, updates all metrics automatically, and maintains a complete audit trail. Perfect for simple add-ons that need unified billing.

New Quote Creation

When you need separate commercial terms, reps create new quotes with existing billing accounts and terms already filled in. Link quotes for easy tracking and use co-terming to align renewal dates across all products.

Product Relationships

Nue's Product Relationships feature is currently in development, with functionality being gradually expanded. It enforces quantity relationships to keep pricing logical and helps manage how products work together. If someone needs 10 user licenses, Nue won't let them buy just 5 admin seats.

What makes this valuable:
  • Automated sync with Salesforce gives visibility into account growth
  • Automated proration eliminates pricing errors and speeds up approvals
  • Single invoices and aligned renewal dates keep customers happy
  • All cross-sell data flows into your CRM system

All cross-sell changes follow Nue's structured workflow to maintain data integrity and billing accuracy.

Example Scenario: Business Intelligence Platform

Consider a fictional business intelligence company where customers add features throughout the year. With Nue, everything can stay organized:

 

  • January: Customer starts with core reporting
  • March: Data warehouse connectivity is added (Nue prorates the charge and co-terms the renewal)
  • June: A visualization module is added through the Change Cart process
  • September: API access is added with quantity relationships enforced based on existing licenses

The customer gets one invoice and one renewal date. The company gets clean revenue recognition and satisfied customers.

The Benefits for Your Team

Sales reps spend time selling instead of calculating proration. They can add products to any account efficiently and know the pricing will be correct.

 

Finance teams get accurate revenue recognition without manual adjustments. All expansion revenue tracks properly from day one.

 

Customers receive single invoices with clear line items and unified renewal dates. No more confusion about what they're paying for or when things renew.

Who Needs This?

If your business has:

 

  • Modular products that customers add over time
  • Significant expansion revenue opportunities
  • Sales teams focused on growing existing accounts
  • Complex pricing relationships between products

 

Cross-selling becomes a competitive advantage instead of an operational nightmare.

 

SaaS companies, professional services firms, and any business with recurring product components see immediate improvements in expansion rates and billing accuracy.
