“We beat them with intelligence. Zapier only moves stuff around, but we can understand what is inside and make a better decision.”
“Right now we are approximately at ACV 1,000 per year.”
“We closed three customers ourselves and then well, I closed them and then three customers came as an inbound leads. So we understood with using ACV of between 500 to 2,000 ks, we need inbound customers. That's the outbound not going work.”
