To successfully upgrade all buy-side customers the use of a common upgrade plan is needed. A plan that can be used at all times when entering new markets. This plan will define the strategy to upgrade and the necessary steps to take to successfully upgrade. 

The upgrade plan will be executed by the Buy-side Go To Market manager (GTM) with focus on upgrading existing clients. New Sales processes are excluded from this plan. The GTM is responsible for executing the plan.

The upgrade plan contains the following topics

1. Stakeholders and communication

2. Approach

3. Functional fit and segmentation

4. Communication and marketing

5. Implementation and training

6. Initiatives to scale the upgrade process

7. Pricing and packaging

8. HubSpot: track upgrade process
