They have a built-in autoresponder and can be utilized in combination with Facebook and Twitter in addition to numerous other social networks. I pasted it in five Reddit groups and five Facebook groups, and I said, “Hey, I’m building this product. I’m like, I’m really good at this. But, I assume you don’t trust it, so let me bring in a higher authority, Professor Donald Knuth, who is the world’s leading authority on algorithms (he won the freaking TURING AWARD, and I’m going to assume you know what that is, since if you don’t, you’d have no business talking about the patentability of software). I think we can all understand that the base will be an easier place to sell because we have contracts and relationships, and then we’ll see what the new news are going to be, and that’s coming up in a few quarters. I don’t know if you’ve given this metric before, but I’m going to ask it anyway.
How have you evolved your go-to-market motion, specifically around marketing and pipeline development, given that you don’t have the in-person summits to rely on? But can you walk us through how and when this increased usage might show up in the financials, given how your contracts are structured? The same can be said about the numerous Question & Answer players that people unwisely dismiss but which are working hard to develop fangs and become a danger to Google’s current search dominance. Pages that Google search engine believes are important receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

And then the rest of it really is a predictor of our future and how we come through this thing. And now it just continues, and then we’ll see we see it continuing to grow. So we just felt there’s still a lot of opportunity there and especially now. Or are there any services that require being on site to complete them? And in the usage-based platform, we’re seeing a lot of upside there. Can you just talk about what you’re seeing internationally? Commoditization can also be expected to drive consolidation. Humans can convey emotions, patience, understanding, and empathy in ways a chatbot never could.
You’re asking with — and you’re correct, with the front-end loading of our investments because we want to have a size that productivity and contribution for those return TAM as much as ’19 as we can that then creates a leverage environment of our business in the second half, right? So the seven and I just want to be absolutely clear on this so I understand it. You partially answered this, but I want to put a finer point. And so we just wanted to put some more some new leadership to give some new energy to that market. I don’t remember the last time I looked at one, or online magazines, I were we are relying on friends, family and influencers, to be tastemakers to put everything into our skin, our hair, our body, our minds, and our homes.

But just wondering what you’re seeing from those reps today and their ability to execute and close.
