“So what happened, maybe just to understand the background that I used to be one of our customers effectively. And so I really understand the business that our customers are experiencing and the issues, the problems, the challenges and so forth. And so the product was really built with best practices in mind.”
“Well, if you look at it, it's based on a seat license and there are two seat licenses. There's a field license or technical license and a full license for the salespeople and the admin people. And so you're looking at on average about, if you blend those two rates together, about $59 a month per seat.”
“The average customer is about forty, forty five.”
