What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Lewis Kerr walked Diarmuid Kenny and Clodagh Fitzgerald through the Starter proposal on 15 Jul 2025. They raised no objections and asked for signature timing to be pushed back towards the end of the month.
What happened: Lewis took the customer through the Starter proposal. Four weeks from signature to go-live, a fixed implementation fee, then an annual subscription.
Customer view: Diarmuid asked about break-in time, cost structure, extra users and support. Clodagh said four hours' response is fine because nothing mission-critical runs on day one.
Commercial: Diarmuid said mid-August was tight and end of month would be better. Lewis restated signature by the fifteenth of August and Clodagh said that gives time to discuss internally.
Watch: no order form is executed in this call. The proposal remains an open item until signed, and the signing date is still contested.

Risks

- Support expectations are set at four business hours with no Premium support.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Fifteen users is described as probably enough, but the ten-user add-on was discussed as a later option.
- A training day add-on and Premium support were both offered if the customer wants more.
Transcript
- Lewis KerrDiarmuid, Clodagh, thanks for making time. I know you've both had a chance to look at the proposal, so I'm here to walk through it and answer any questions.
- Diarmuid KennyYes, we've looked at it. Good to understand what we're signing up for. What's the break-in period, from signature to go-live?
- Lewis KerrFour weeks. We'll kick off immediately after signature, build the connectors, CRM, helpdesk, the call recorder: set up a sandbox for testing, and then go live. You'll have access throughout, and Clodagh's team will be part of the testing.
- Clodagh FitzgeraldAnd the training, how much support are we getting there?
- Lewis KerrFor Starter, you get written guides and a call with our team to walk through the search and dashboard features. If you'd like more than that, there's a training day add-on, but typically the written material and a call gets people moving.
- Diarmuid KennyRight. And the cost: the implementation is a one-time thing, and then annual?
- Lewis KerrExactly. Implementation is fixed upfront. The annual subscription renews each year. I've got it set out in the doc.
- Diarmuid KennyAnd if we need more users than the fifteen, what's the cost?
- Lewis KerrThere's an add-on for ten additional users. But from what Clodagh said, fifteen should be plenty for your go-live.
- Clodagh FitzgeraldProbably. We can always add later if we need to.
- Lewis KerrAbsolutely. And for data freshness, nightly refresh by seven in the morning, business days. Any issues with that?
- Diarmuid KennyNo, that works. One thing, support. If something breaks, how do we get help?
- Lewis KerrStarter comes with email support. We aim to get back to you within four business hours. If you need something faster, we offer Premium support as an add-on.
- Clodagh FitzgeraldFour hours should be fine for us. We're not running mission-critical stuff on this day one.
- Lewis KerrGood. So the implementation and the annual fee are in the proposal. If you're happy with all that, we can move forward with an order form. Would you like to sign by mid-August, or do you need more time to decide?
- Diarmuid KennyMid-August is tight. End of month would be better.
- Lewis KerrRight. So signature by the fifteenth of August, then. Does that work?
- Clodagh FitzgeraldYeah, that gives us time to discuss internally.
- Lewis KerrPerfect. I'll send over a clean order form this week and we can confirm details. Any other questions?
- Diarmuid KennyNo, I think we're good.
