What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Willet Creek's VP Family Relations and Sales described enquiries, complaints and contracts scattered across systems. The COO's gates are privacy and security approval, no new work for communities and a clear price. No decision was asked for.
What happened: Jordan Pike ran a discovery call with Kristin Lindahl and Eric Halvorsen. Kristin described a family who had to explain a contract question three times because the shared inbox, CRM and document folder are separate.
Customer view: Kristin wants one view per community and a clear plan before the board meeting. Eric named occupancy and compliance as his concerns, and asked where resident and family information goes and who sees it.
Commercial: Jordan quoted the deal in the BG-Demo system at £155k in total, including one-off implementation, so not an annual figure. The working target for an order form is 29 Dec 2026, stated as a target that depends on the Enterprise security review.
Watch: The privacy lead has not yet seen anything. Eric's conditions are privacy and security approval, no new burden on communities and a clear price.

Transcript
- Jordan PikeHi Kristin, hi Eric. Can you both hear me okay?
- Kristin LindahlLoud and clear. Eric's here, he's just fixing his camera.
- Eric HalvorsenHere. Go ahead.
- Jordan PikeGreat. Quick agenda: I want to understand how enquiries, complaints and contracts move through your communities today, where it hurts, and whether it's worth a demo on your own data. We have forty-three minutes, so I'll watch the clock. Sound good?
- Eric HalvorsenWhat's the decision needed from me today?
- Jordan PikeTo be transparent, none. The only ask is whether it's worth your team's time to see this. Nothing more.
- Eric HalvorsenFine. Kristin.
- Kristin LindahlOkay, so let me start with something from this week. A daughter called one of our communities in Wisconsin about a question on her mother's agreement. She had already emailed our central team twice. Nobody at the community knew. She had to explain the whole thing a third time. And I kept thinking, what did the family hear from us? Nothing joined up.
- Jordan PikeThat's a painful one. Where did the two earlier emails live?
- Kristin LindahlShared inbox for family relations. The community sales team works out of our CRM, and the contract itself sits in a document folder somewhere else. So three places. Plus whatever the community director has in their own notes.
- Jordan PikeMm. And who is supposed to pull that together today?
- Kristin LindahlHonestly, whoever shouts loudest. My team, usually. Or Amber's group builds us a report, but that's a request, and it takes a while.
- Eric HalvorsenWhat's the risk?
- Kristin LindahlMove-ins. If a prospective family asks a question and we answer slowly, they tour somewhere else. We lose them before sales even knows there was a problem. Eric, you've seen the occupancy numbers on that.
- Eric HalvorsenI have. Occupancy is the concern. Compliance too.
- Jordan PikeSay more on compliance, Eric. What would worry you there?
- Eric HalvorsenResident and family information. Where it goes. Who sees it. Keep it simple.
- Jordan PikeUnderstood, and I'll be straight with you on this. The brain is built and run inside your own Snowflake account, so the data doesn't leave your environment. For an Enterprise deal there's also a security review, and your privacy and security people are part of that before anything is signed.
- Eric HalvorsenGood. Has our privacy lead seen anything yet?
- Kristin LindahlNot yet. And I won't push past that review, Eric, you know that. I wanted to understand if it's even the right shape first.
- Jordan PikeThat's exactly the right order. Okay, let me ask about systems. You said a shared inbox, a CRM and a document folder. Anything else? A helpdesk, a call recorder?
- Kristin LindahlComplaints get logged in a form that feeds a spreadsheet. I know. And the communities have their own tracking, some better than others. About thirty-five communities, so thirty-five slightly different habits.
- Jordan PikeRight. So if I'm hearing you, the real pain is one view per community. Enquiries, complaints and contracts, together, so the person who picks up the phone knows what the family has already been told.
- Kristin LindahlYes. That's it. One view per community. And I need this before the board meeting, at least a clear plan.
- Jordan PikeHere's where we are on timing, and I don't want to promise more than I can. Our working target for an order form is 29 December 2026. That's a target, not a commitment, and it depends on the security review. If we got there, what would make this a yes for you?
- Eric HalvorsenPrivacy and security approve. Communities not burdened with new work. Clear price.
- Jordan PikeClear price, yes. At the moment the deal in our system is for £155,000 in total. That's the whole deal value, including the one-off implementation, so it isn't an annual number. I'll put the breakdown in writing so nobody has to guess.
- Eric HalvorsenPut it in writing. Kristin owns the follow-up.
- Kristin LindahlGot it. I'll loop in the community director group too, once we know what a pilot community would look like. And Nicole on the sales side, she'll have strong views.
- Jordan PikeGreat. Let me suggest next steps. One, I send a short written summary of today, with the pricing structure. Two, we book a demo using a sample of your own enquiry data, no resident detail, and I bring our solutions engineer. Three, Amber should be in that session, since she'll know what's connectable. Does that work?
- Kristin LindahlYes. Amber and Nicole both. I'll find a time in the next few weeks.
- Eric HalvorsenAnything else needed from me?
- Jordan PikeNot for now, Eric. Thanks for the time. Kristin, I'll send the summary today.
- Kristin LindahlPerfect. Thanks, Jordan.
