Position doing the winning: current wins credited to a standing already held, with more arriving over it
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need to determine if management credits an already-held standing as the cause of current wins, and conveys that more business is arriving over that same standing. Let's analyze the transcript. Management discusses various use cases, customer examples, and growth. Key points: - They mention "land and expand" strategy, with existing customers expanding into new use cases. - They say "we continue to see strong demand for Wdesk in the SaaS market" and give examples of customers using it for SOX, etc. - They mention "we're making good progress on diversifying our revenue sources" and that non-SEC use cases are growing. - They talk about "expansion in maximum reporting on risk, as well as growth in the adjacent markets of enterprise risk management and audit management" and that this "has increased the size of our total addressable market." - They say "we're continuing to invest in software development, sales and marketing to capitalize on these expanded market opportunities." - They mention "we began marketing Wdesk in the fourth quarter of 2015 to the broader base GRC market" – that's a fresh push, not a standing. - They talk about "we plan to release Wdesk enhancements" – future. Now, the question: Does management credit an already-held standing (like an installed base, existing customer relationships, a platform already in place) as the operative cause of current wins? And does it convey that more business is arriving over that same standing without a proportional new push? Look for phrases like "because of our existing customer base" or "our platform is already in use" etc. They do mention "our land and expand growth strategy" and that existing customers are expanding. For example: "The remaining 52.4% of the increase came from deeper penetration of our existing customer base." That's about revenue growth, not necessarily current wins. But they also say "we continue to see strong demand" and give examples of customers using Wdesk for various use cases. However, they attribute wins to the product's capabilities and the fact that customers see value. They also mention "we're continuing to invest in sales and marketing" – that's effort. The key is whether they say that the company's position (e.g., being the best practice for SEC reporting, having a large installed base) is what is driving current wins, and that more is coming without a proportional push.

EXFY · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management credits a standing the company already holds as the reason they're currently winning business, and that more is arriving over that same standing without a new ...YES The transcript shows management crediting their pre-existing bottom-up adoption model and differentiated platform position (already in place since day one, with SMB focus and unique acquisition mechanics) as the operative cause of current wins. This is evident in statements like the model being "overwhelmingly driving the success of our business" and competitors routing customers to them due to the same standing. Further business is conveyed as already arriving through the same position, with trends continuing and the best quarter ever achieved on that foundation, even as they note additional investments in sales and conferences.
FTHM · Q1 2023 → YESThe question is about whether management credits a standing the company already holds as the reason they're currently winning business, and if more business is arriving over that same standing without...YES The transcript shows management crediting the company's pre-existing low-cost flat-fee model, owned technology, and culture-driven retention as the durable standing already in place that is generating current wins (market share gains, 18% agent growth, 60% of March referrals, and transaction resilience vs. peers). They describe these as flowing directly from that standing rather than fresh effort, while conveying continuation through the referral program's ongoing positive impact and the model's ability to draw more agents without proportional new marketing push.
