What this says
Current to 13 Oct 26Marcus Bell sent Nicola Brearley notes from the 23 Jul 2026 check-in: usage climbing, no open tickets, contract to 10 Apr 2027. Nicola confirmed them, asked for a depot split and said she cannot commit budget yet.
Customer view: Nicola accepts the summary as fair and likes the single view of collections, tickets, calls and invoices. She wants more account managers on it.
Caveat: she cannot commit anything on budget until she has checked internally and treats the team list as a starting point.
Next: Marcus sends usage by team and depot, reviews where the sixty licences go, and shares a plan that includes Claire Ackroyd. Renewal talk is agreed for well ahead of 10 Apr 2027.

- Marcus Bell 23 Jul 2026 17:43Hi Nicola, Thanks for your time this afternoon. Here are my notes so we're both working from the same page. What we covered: - Usage is climbing, with more people asking questions than last quarter. No tickets open and no overdue invoices, so the account looks healthy. - You like the single view of collections, missed-collection tickets, calls and invoices, and you'd like more account managers using it. - Your contract runs to 10 Apr 2027, and we agreed to talk about renewal well ahead of that. What I'll do: - send you the usage by team that I screen-shared, in a form you can forward - look at where the sixty licences are going and tell you what's unused - put a short plan together for the group changes you mentioned, with owners and dates What I need from you: - a list of the teams you'd most like added next, if you can Shout if I've got anything wrong. Thanks, Marcus
- Nicola Brearley 23 Jul 2026 17:58Hi Marcus, That's a fair summary, thanks for turning it round so quickly. Two small additions: - On the usage by team, can you split it by depot as well? I'll want to ask which depot, which round, when I'm talking to the managers. - Please keep Claire Ackroyd in the loop on the plan. She's leading the integration work, so it makes sense for her to see it as well as me. I'll send you the team list early next week. I can't commit anything on budget until I've checked internally, so please treat it as a starting point for the conversation rather than an order. Thanks, Nicola
