Current-Success Anchoring
...Start by celebrating their current wins (e.g., 'you’ve hit 10k users on our platform') to create momentum.
Data-Driven Upgrade Pitch
...Show them *exactly* how the upgrade solves a bottleneck they are currently approaching (e.g., 'as you reach 10k users, you’ll need...').
Low-Stakes 'Exploration' Call
...Frame the request as 'a quick chat to explore the potential impact,' lowering the psychological barrier.
