Identify contract renewals

Another tactic to identify opportunities is to pinpoint expiring contracts relevant to your industry, rather than your competitors. These can reveal potential renewals or downstream opportunities to approach the buyers with.

To demonstrate how you can use Stotles data to achieve this, below we have provided examples of expiring contracts across five key IT & Software industries.
