Transcript
Sophie LingHi everyone, thanks for joining. So we're here to talk about next steps. Where are we?
Simon HarteWe're interested, but we need to nail down the contract terms and the pricing.- Sophie LingRight. So we've discussed Starter tier: one team, 15 users, four connectors max. The annual subscription is 22,000 and the implementation is 6,000. Twenty-eight thousand all-in for year one.
Louise PringWhat about payment terms?
Owen TallisAnnual in advance is standard. We can invoice quarterly if that's better for you.
Ellie RowcliffeQuarterly would work for us.- Sophie LingFine. What else is on your mind?
- Simon HarteWe'll want your standard terms and privacy docs, but is there any room on price for a first-time customer?
- Owen TallisI can do a discount on the first year. What kind of timeline are you looking at?
- Simon HarteIf we can get this signed by early July, can you go live in mid-August?
- Sophie LingThat's within our eight-week window for Starter, so yes.
- Owen TallisOkay, so I can do ten percent off the subscription for the first year. That would need to be signed by end of June.
- Louise PringAnd what happens at renewal?
- Sophie LingYou go back to list price. The 22,000. That discount is first-year only.
- Ellie RowcliffeOkay. And if we want to cancel, what's the notice period?
- Owen TallisNinety days before renewal.
- Simon HarteWhat's included on support?
- Sophie LingEmail support with a four-hour response on urgent issues. And the data refreshes nightly by 07:00.
- Ellie RowcliffeThat sounds fine.
- Simon HarteI'll review the terms with Louise and get back to you.
- Sophie LingGreat. I'll send the MSA over today. And you'll need Ben to help with Snowflake and API setup once you're ready.
- Ellie RowcliffeI'll loop him in after we sign.
- Owen TallisSo to recap, Starter, 15 users, 22,000 annual with a ten percent discount on the first term, 6,000 implementation, quarterly invoicing, ninety-day cancel notice, eight-week implementation. Sound right?
- Simon HarteYes, that works. We should have this signed by end of June.
