Growth RX

Sales and retention outsourcing that grows revenue without damaging customer experience

ATM Group’s Growth RX is an outsourced sales and retention service for mid-market and enterprise businesses in the UK and Europe. We run inbound and outbound sales, retention and save teams, upsell and cross-sell, and activations as one accountable operating model, supported by analytics, coaching and AI-assisted optimisation across our UK, Netherlands and South Africa delivery footprint. On a recent telecoms retention programme, retention improved by 10% while customer satisfaction rose from 7.2 to 8.2. Commercial results and customer experience can improve together, and that is the whole idea.

What does Growth RX cover?

Growth RX brings every revenue-facing customer conversation under one roof:

  • Inbound and outbound sales: enquiry handling, conversion and campaign-led acquisition.
  • Retention and save teams: proactive and reactive journeys that keep customers who were about to leave.
  • Upsell, cross-sell and in-life account growth: built on genuine service moments rather than bolted-on scripts.
  • Activations and account growth: onboarding new customers well, so early-life churn never takes hold.

Each programme starts with your customer journey. We map contact drivers, define workflows and KPIs, then add scripts, coaching and testing to prove uplift before we scale it.

We’re losing customers at renewal. How does an outsourced retention partner help?

Retention programmes underperform when they rely on scripts and headcount alone. Our approach blends voice and digital save journeys, uses speech and IVR analytics to find the real drivers of churn, and feeds frontline insight back into journey changes: knowledge, routing, offers and timing. On the telecoms retention programme mentioned above, that model handled more than 100,000 peak-period interactions with 250 multi-skilled advisors while lifting both retention and CSAT. On a separate large-scale migration and upgrade programme, the same evidence-led approach reduced churn by 15% across more than 250,000 customer migrations.

Can one partner handle both customer support and retention?

Yes, and keeping them together is the point. Retention conversations usually start inside service conversations: a billing query, a complaint, an upgrade question. Growth RX operates alongside our contact centre outsourcing (Connected CX), our AI-enabled optimisation service (Digital DX) and our ATM One interaction intelligence platform, so a single operating model covers acquisition, service and retention. One governance structure, one reporting line, and one accountable partner, instead of a support vendor and a sales vendor pulling in different directions.

How do you grow revenue without damaging customer experience?

By treating experience as the condition for revenue rather than the cost of it. Upsell and cross-sell prompts are driven by analytics and next-best actions grounded in what the customer actually needs, and they are delivered by advisors trained to your journeys, policies and tone of voice. Calibrated QA, coaching loops and clear escalation paths protect quality as volumes scale. Our reporting ties commercial outcomes such as save rate, conversion and revenue per contact to experience measures such as CSAT, first-contact resolution and repeat contact, so neither can quietly be traded for the other.

What results has Growth RX delivered?

Two recent programmes, both for large telecommunications providers:

Retention programme (blended channels and analytics-led optimisation): retention improved by 10%, CSAT rose from 7.2 to 8.2, more than 100,000 peak interactions were managed, and 250 advisors were multi-skilled to support flexible resourcing. Read the case study.

Transformation and migration at scale: churn reduced by 15%, more than 250,000 migrations supported, 1,300+ customers retained, 6,500+ upgrades delivered, and more than 100 trials run to refine journeys. Read the case study.

Who is Growth RX for?

Businesses with recurring revenue and complex customer journeys, where renewal moments, in-life growth and customer effort decide the P&L. That includes utilities and energy, telecoms and home services, health, retail and e-commerce, travel and entertainment, subscriptions, and technology and SaaS. Typical buyers are CROs, RevOps and sales leaders, and COOs who want a sales-and-service partner rather than another low-cost seat provider. You can explore our telco and utilities sector profiles, or see everything we do.

How do engagements start?

Usually with proof rather than paperwork. Where appropriate we run pilots and “prove to move” programmes: a defined scope, agreed KPIs, and the evidence to expand only once the uplift is demonstrated. With 20+ years’ experience, 1,000+ active advisors, 50 million interactions handled annually and delivery across eight locations in the UK, the Netherlands and South Africa, plus partner coverage in Turkey, we can scale what works quickly and accountably.

FAQs

What is sales and retention outsourcing?

It means handing the revenue-facing parts of your customer operation, such as sales conversion, renewal and save conversations, upsell and account growth, to a specialist partner who runs them as a managed, measured programme. Done well, it improves commercial outcomes and customer experience at the same time.

Do you handle acquisition and retention together?

Yes. Growth RX covers inbound and outbound sales, retention and save teams, upsell and cross-sell, and activations in one operating model, alongside our customer service delivery. Acquisition, service and retention share one set of journeys, data and governance.

How do you measure success on a retention programme?

Against KPIs agreed upfront. Typically that means save rate and retention uplift, conversion and revenue per contact on the commercial side, with CSAT, first-contact resolution and repeat-contact rate protecting experience. Transparent reporting and weekly governance keep both in view.

Can we start with a pilot?

Yes. We run pilots and “prove to move” programmes where appropriate, with a defined scope and agreed KPIs, so you can see the uplift before committing to a larger engagement.

How do you use AI in sales and retention?

Where it improves outcomes, not for hype. We use speech and text analytics to find churn drivers, agent assist and next-best-action support in the conversation, and automated QA through our ATM One platform, always with people in control.

Where do you deliver from?

Across the UK (Leicester, Coventry and Stockport), the Netherlands (Sittard and Heerlen) and South Africa (Cape Town), with partner coverage in Turkey. That includes multilingual delivery in 10+ languages where programmes need it.

Can you align commercials to outcomes?

Where appropriate, yes. We can design shared-risk elements tied to agreed KPIs, with clear boundaries and governance.
