Know the Org Chart Better Than They Do
How Panoptyc achieved 156% expansion revenue growth and 2.4x average account value through surgical account mapping with Clay and Instantly.
The Challenge
Panoptyc had a good problem: happy customers. Their AI-powered micro-surveillance technology was working-airports, retail stores, kiosks catching theft that human eyes missed.
But happy customers weren't expanding. They'd buy cameras for one location and stop. They'd deploy in one department and never expand to others. They'd use basic features and ignore advanced AI capabilities.
The Core Problem:
Customers were satisfied, but not maximizing value. And if they're not maximizing value, they're not maximizing spend. The challenge: expand within existing accounts without being pushy.
Account expansion isn't about selling harder. It's about knowing the org chart better than the customer does. Who else has the same problem? Who controls budget for other departments? Who's the champion? Who's the blocker?
The Strategy: Clay + Instantly + AI Positioning
Account Mapping with Clay
We mapped Panoptyc's existing customer accounts-not just the primary contact, but the entire org chart:
Security Directors (primary buyers)
Operations Managers (secondary buyers for additional locations)
IT Directors (technical decision-makers)
CFOs (budget approvers for enterprise-wide)
Facility Managers (end users who could advocate)
Decision-Maker Outreach with Instantly
Automated outreach with surgical precision-not generic "checking in" emails:
Role-based messaging: Security directors got ROI, IT directors got integration
Usage-based personalization: "You're using Panoptyc in Terminal A. Have you considered Terminal B?"
Industry-specific pain points: Retail got theft deterrence, airports got TSA compliance
AI Theft Deterrence Positioning
Panoptyc's cameras weren't just surveillance-they were AI-powered theft deterrence that could detect suspicious behavior patterns and alert security in real-time. But most customers weren't using this feature.

Champion Enablement
The best way to expand an account is to empower internal champions. We built enablement materials that champions could use to advocate for Panoptyc internally:
ROI One-Pagers
For budget conversations
Technical Spec Sheets
For IT approval
Competitive Comparisons
For procurement reviews
Executive Summaries
For C-suite buy-in
This turned customers into salespeople.
The Results: Expansion Revenue Compounds
Existing customers became their best growth channel.
Customers started using AI features and saw the value.
One location expanded to multiple, basic to advanced.
Stronger customer relationships. Expansion conversations deepened relationships-customers saw Panoptyc as a partner, not a vendor.
Lower churn. Customers who expanded were less likely to churn because they were more embedded in the organization.
RevOasis didn't just help us expand accounts-they taught us how to think about account expansion surgically. The Clay + Instantly approach combined with AI positioning transformed our customers from single-location buyers to enterprise-wide partners. Our expansion revenue now exceeds new logo revenue.
The Key Insight
Account expansion requires surgical precision-know the org chart better than they do. Most companies treat account expansion like a numbers game. Send emails to everyone. Hope someone responds. That's inefficient.
Panoptyc's approach was surgical: identify the right people, send the right message, enable internal champions, and prove value before asking for expansion. Repositioning from "surveillance" to "AI-powered theft deterrence" changed the conversation, the buyer, the budget, and the value prop. Same product. Different story. Different results.
