What was said
What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Tom Ashdown proposed Starter on three systems with a first-year total of twenty-eight thousand, all in. Geoffrey Rowe asked about pricing flexibility and said he would review and come back the following week.
What happened: Tom set out Starter on Salesforce, Zendesk and the call recorder, with fifteen users, four connectors and four weeks of implementation. He quoted the first year as twenty-eight thousand, all in.
Customer view: Geoffrey Rowe, the Managing Director, asked about cost and then whether there was flexibility on pricing. Naomi Fordham asked about connectors, refresh, adding users and security.
Commercial: Tom said there is some room on the first term and that he would check with Owen. Discounts apply to the first term only, at most 20%.
Watch: The quoted total is a figure from the call, and the evidence does not show an order form. Starter has no formal security review, which Naomi raised.

Next steps
Current to 9 Oct 26- Tom Ashdown to check pricing room on the first term with Owen and reply by the end of the week.
- Tom Ashdown to send the proposal and security documents the same day, then an order form with the MSA once agreed.
- Geoffrey Rowe to review and respond the following week.
Risks
Current to 9 Oct 26- Geoffrey Rowe is testing price flexibility, so the first-term discount may be needed to close.
- No order form is shown, so the quoted first-year total is not contracted.
Opportunities
Current to 9 Oct 26- Naomi Fordham asked about adding users later, which points to Growth if the team passes fifteen users.
