What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Short call with Rob Ellery. Both connectors are live and mapped. He agreed to consultant training of an hour each and said he will tell BG-Demo straight if nobody uses the brain.
What happened: Callie Brennan confirmed both connectors are live and mapped, ticket matching is done and the setup note is written. She demoed a question about clients not placed with recently.
Customer view: Rob Ellery was short of time and does not know what mapped means. He looks at fees and pipeline weekly and wants that answered.
Commercial: He approved two training sessions of an hour each and will mention them at the Monday meeting. The licence is for fifteen users and very few have logged in.
Watch: Fee reporting depends on placement values in the CRM, which Callie has not yet checked. Rob made usage the test of value.

Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Callie Brennan to check whether placement values are filled in and tell Jenna Price.
- Callie Brennan to send Jenna Price two training time options this week, copying Rob Ellery.
- Marcus to check in after the sessions with usage numbers.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Very few of the fifteen licensed users have logged in, and Rob Ellery says he will say so plainly if nobody uses it.
- Fee reporting may not work if placement values are not filled in properly in the CRM.
- Rob Ellery is short of time and does not follow what mapped means, which limits his sponsorship.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Two practical training sessions on the consultants' own clients could build usage.
- A weekly pipeline question gives Rob Ellery a simple reason to open the brain.
Transcript
Callie BrennanMorning, Rob. Thanks for jumping on. I know Jenna's out today, so I've kept the plan short: where we are, one decision I need from you, and what's coming. Ten minutes, maybe fifteen.
Rob ElleryMorning. Good, because I'm a bit short. How long's it really going to take? The team's flat out.- Callie BrennanQuarter of an hour. So, where we are. Both connectors are live and mapped. The matching on the tickets is done and Jenna's seen the results. The setup note's written.
- Rob ElleryRight. And what does that mean for me? Honestly I don't know what I'm looking at when you say mapped.
- Callie BrennanFair enough. In plain terms, when somebody asks the brain how a client's doing, it can now see the placements, the contacts and the tickets for that client together, and it gets the names and dates right. Before that, it was a pile of data.
- Rob EllerySo it can tell me which clients have gone quiet.
- Callie BrennanIt can, yes. Shall I show you? Give me a second to share.
- Callie BrennanOkay, you should see a chat box. I'll type, which clients have we not placed anyone with recently, and see what comes back.
- Rob ElleryMm. That's a long list.
- Callie BrennanIt is, and it's sorted by how long since the last placement. If I click one, you get the history, the last conversation, any open tickets. This is the kind of thing a consultant would otherwise dig for in three places.
- Rob ElleryRight. I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to be in here every day. I look at fees and the pipeline once a week. Can it do that?
- Callie BrennanThe pipeline it can do straight away, that's a question you can ask. For fees, it depends what's in the CRM, and I'd have to check whether placement values are filled in properly. I won't say it's fine until I've looked.
- Rob ElleryThat's honest, at least. Have a look and tell Jenna.
- Callie BrennanWill do. Now the one decision. I'd like to run training for the consultants next. Two sessions, so people can pick one. It helps if you tell them it's worth the hour.
- Rob ElleryAn hour each? Cannot be longer. They're all on the phones.
- Callie BrennanAn hour is fine, I can make it work in that. I'll keep it practical, their own clients, their own accounts, no slides.
- Rob ElleryOkay. Go ahead and book it. I'd say Jenna should pick the times, she knows when they're out.
- Callie BrennanGood. I'll send her two options this week and copy you so you can see. And if you could say a word to the team beforehand, that really does help people turn up.
- Rob ElleryI'll mention it at the Monday meeting. Anything else?
- Callie BrennanOne small thing. The licence is for fifteen users. At the moment very few have logged in, so there's no pressure. I just want you to know it's there to use.
- Rob ElleryUnderstood. We'll see once they've done the training. If nobody uses it, I'll tell you straight.
- Callie BrennanI'd expect that, and I'd rather you did. Marcus will check in after the sessions and he'll bring numbers.
- Rob ElleryGood. Thanks, Callie. I've got to go.
- Callie BrennanThanks, Rob. Enjoy the rest of your day.
