What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Lewis Kerr walked Arnaud Janssens through a Starter proposal at £28,000 all-in. Arnaud thinks it is in the right ballpark but must run it past Elise. A first-term discount is still to be checked.
What happened: Lewis Kerr presented a Starter proposal to Arnaud Janssens, Operations Director, on 2025-11-20. Starter covers 15 users and four connectors (Salesforce, Zendesk, email and spreadsheet) with a four-week implementation.
Commercial: Lewis quoted £28,000 all-in, invoiced as £6,000 for implementation and £22,000 for the annual subscription. He said there is no discount on renewals but that the first term might have flexibility, and he would check with his team.
Customer view: Arnaud asked about multi-year commitment and later add-ons, and said the proposal is in the right ballpark. He needs to speak to Elise before deciding.
Watch: Elise was not on the call and the transcript does not show her role. The discount is unconfirmed and no decision had been given.

Transcript
Lewis Kerr NoneRight Arnaud, morning. I wanted to walk through the proposal I've put together.
Arnaud Janssens NoneGreat, thanks for getting that over. Let me pull it up.- Lewis Kerr NoneSo you're on Starter tier, that includes 15 users, four connectors. Your team seemed keen on Salesforce, Zendesk, email and spreadsheet. Implementation is four weeks. The all-in cost, including the implementation, is 28,000. We're invoicing that as 6,000 upfront for implementation and then the annual subscription of 22,000.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneOkay. And that 22,000 is the annual recurring, so that renews every year?
- Lewis Kerr NoneExactly. And that's our list price for Starter. Standard terms are annual in advance, 30-day contract. We'd go live mid-December if you sign this week.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneRight. And what's included in the implementation?
- Lewis Kerr NoneWe set up your Snowflake, connect the four sources, map your fields, do a test refresh, make sure your team is trained. You'd have Thomas as the main contact from your side.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneThat makes sense. Do you offer any discount if we commit for multiple years?
- Lewis Kerr NoneNot on renewals, the price is what it is. But for the first term, there might be some flexibility if you're keen to sign soon. Let me check with my team.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneFair enough. What happens if we want to add more users or connectors later?
- Lewis Kerr NoneWe can add those as add-ons: extra users or connectors, co-termed to your renewal. We can discuss that if the need comes up.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneOkay. I need to run this past Elise, but I think it's in the right ballpark. When do you need a decision?
- Lewis Kerr NoneTo be precise, to hit mid-December go-live, ideally by end of November. So give yourself a couple of weeks.
- Arnaud Janssens NoneThat should be fine. I'll come back to you once I've spoken to Elise.
- Lewis Kerr NonePerfect. I'll check on that discount flexibility and get back to you today. Any other questions?
- Arnaud Janssens NoneI don't think so. Thanks, Lewis.
- Lewis Kerr NoneKind regards, Arnaud. Speak soon.
