I actually think of your first two points (optimizing...) as cost cutting services, while the other two are good examples.

Yeah, should have been more specific. If they result in the company getting more sales done with the available time/resources then they add to revenue.

The company could of course treat it as "doing more with less" and therefore use it for cost cutting instead. Depends on the situation.

I guess that depends on if they could hire twice as many people in sales and double their revenue. If there are diminishing returns, then it could be a revenue generator.
