Follow-up
Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Owen Tallis sends the updated proposal to Alyssa Jenkins by Thursday.
- Jordan Pike and Owen build a short value case Alyssa can show her board.
- Keep any year one concession within the first-term discount limit of 20%.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- The price objection could stall signature if the board does not see a value case.
- The June start depends on signing by next Friday, so a slipped board date moves go-live.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Quarterly billing at £28,000 a year may remove the upfront objection without cutting the price.
- A full-year commitment with a modest year one concession could close the deal for a June start.
Transcript
Jordan PikeAlyssa, thanks for making time. Owen wanted to jump in to help us sort out any final questions before you sign.
Owen TallisMorning, Alyssa. What's the sticking point? Still on 28000?
Alyssa JenkinsWe like the product. But I want to explore quarterly billing and see if there's any room on the annual cost.- Owen TallisRight. So quarterly billing is definitely possible, 28000 a year, you pay each quarter. What are you thinking on cost?
- Alyssa Jenkins28000 annual is a lot to commit to upfront, even in quarters. Is there any flexibility if we agree to the full year?
- Owen TallisThe term is annual and that's fixed. But I'm open to talking about the price. What would make this work for you?
- Alyssa JenkinsI don't have a specific number in mind. I need to take this to my board, and they'll want me to show the value case. What if we could lock in a better rate for year one?
- Owen TallisI can certainly look at a concession on year one if you lock in the full year. Let me go back to my team, run the numbers, and come back to you. What's your timeline?
- Alyssa JenkinsI need to present to the board next Friday. Can you get something to me by Thursday?
- Jordan PikeWe'll make that happen. And if you do want to move on this, can we target a June start?
- Alyssa JenkinsYes, June works. Four weeks from signature to go-live?
- Jordan PikeThat's right. If you sign by next Friday, we'll get you live in June.
- Alyssa JenkinsPerfect. Get me the updated proposal and I'll put it in front of the board.
- Owen TallisI'll send it by Thursday. Cheers, Alyssa.
