A Platform to Expand Revenue, Not Just Acquire Companies
WPTG is built to increase revenue per customer through upselling, cross-selling, and recurring services.
Let me be blunt: one of the things I hear most from investors is:
“We don’t fully get WPTG.”
And right after that, it’s usually:
“You do a lot of acquisitions, but what’s the real value after you buy the companies?”
Fair enough. So let me break it down for you, in simple terms.
WPTG isn’t some random collection of businesses we’ve picked up. WPTG is a platform.
A platform designed to sell more to the same customers, and do it smarter, faster, and on a more consistent basis over time.
Platforms Don’t Create Value by Owning Stuff
They Create Value by Expanding Revenue per Customer
Here’s the deal: when we buy a company, we’re not focused on profit and loss, or EBITDA. We’re looking for something that really matters:
-
Specialist capabilities
-
Trusted relationships with customers
-
Proven teams that deliver
The real value comes after we’ve bought the business.
Here’s the simple logic behind our platform:
-
We bring in a new capability.
-
We plug it into a bigger customer base.
-
We get customers to spend more through upselling and cross-selling.
-
We shift revenue from one-off projects to long-term, recurring contracts.
-
We use shared platforms to scale and improve margins.
And all of this starts with sales. That’s where the magic happens.
Sales-Led Integration (Not Cutting Costs)
Most people go into acquisitions thinking, “Where can we cut costs?” We don’t do that.
Instead, we ask: Where can we sell more?
Here’s how we roll:
First 30 Days:
-
Map out the top customers across the platform.
-
Find out which services they haven’t bought yet.
Next 60 Days:
-
Package services into easy-to-understand bundles with clear prices.
-
Align sales teams to incentivize multi-service contracts.
Next 60 Days:
-
Joint sales activities across the business.
-
Cross-sell into existing accounts.
-
Focus on turning sales into long-term, recurring revenue.
It’s not about making things complicated. It’s about making sure we increase revenue per customer.
Upsell: Moving Customers Up the Ladder
The real magic happens when we deepen the relationship with our customers over time. Here’s how we do it:
-
From one-off projects to ongoing services: We don’t just do projects and walk away. We take responsibility for running, improving, and monitoring their systems, month after month.
-
From basic IT to mission-critical: Customers who start with basic IT support are gradually moved onto 24/7 platforms like Network Operations Centres (NOCs) or Security Operations Centres (SOCs).
-
From selling software to full service: Customers might start by buying tools, but we add more value — integration, optimization, ongoing support — turning a simple sale into a long-term relationship.
Here’s what that gives us:
-
More money from each customer.
-
Longer contracts.
-
More predictable cash flow.
That’s how the platform compounds value.
Cross-Selling: It’s Not by Chance, It’s by Design
“Cross-sell potential” means nothing if it’s just left to luck.
As a platform, we focus on:
-
Having a shared view of customers.
-
A clear, consistent service catalogue.
-
Setting cross-sell targets for each acquisition.
We track a few key numbers:
-
Revenue per customer
-
How many services each customer buys
-
Share of recurring revenue
When these numbers go up, we’re making value.
Why We Use Clusters
When you look at all these different businesses, they might seem complex. But inside, they’re organized into clusters that make sense:
-
Managed Services
-
Digital & AI
-
Smart Infrastructure
-
People & BPO
Each cluster feeds into the others, strengthening the overall platform.
Customers don’t buy companies. They buy solutions that grow with them.
Founder Retention is Part of the Plan
Earn-outs and equity participation aren’t just some financial trick. They’re how we keep sales going after the acquisition.
Founders stay with us because:
-
They get access to a bigger pool of customers.
-
They can sell more through the platform.
-
They share in the long-term growth.
This isn’t just about protecting revenue — it’s about accelerating growth.
The Pace of Acquisitions: Don’t Rush It
Speed is often misunderstood.
We don’t rush into acquisitions just for the sake of it. We only acquire when we know the platform can absorb a business and increase its revenue.
If we can’t do that, we don’t do the deal. It’s not about the number of acquisitions — it’s about making the right acquisitions.
The Bottom Line
WPTG isn’t some flashy acquisition story.
It’s a platform built to systematically grow revenue per customer.
We do this by upselling, cross-selling, and turning projects into long-term recurring contracts — all after we’ve acquired the business.
Once you get that, the strategy becomes simple. And it’s a lot easier to believe in.
