What was said
What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Discovery with Lauren Pacheco and CFO Mike Delaney. Reps lack a joined-up shipper view. Mike pressed on a dollar budget and ROI, and said retention is what he cares about. Jordan carried £62,000 as a placeholder Growth deal value.
What happened: Jordan Pike ran discovery with Lauren Pacheco, then Mike Delaney joined and went straight to price. Lauren described reps guessing across Salesforce, the TMS and the helpdesk, with analysts building reports that are stale by Friday.
Customer view: Mike wants an ROI built on Copperwick's own figures, with the method shown, and a contract he can budget in dollars. Lauren wants a per-shipper page and a named owner on the B-Brain side.
Commercial: Jordan gave £62,000 as a deal value for a Growth deal, not a quote, and declined to convert currency because B-Brain invoices in pounds sterling. Mike disliked that. The decision target is 15 May 2026.
Watch: no named owner for TMS field definitions yet, and the IT lead has not been heard from on security. The evidence does not show who signs.
