Mark Hodgson: So the question is, what do I need to do to attract a customer in a way that they say yes. Even yes to giving me that first. Yes, it's probably I'll give you five seconds. And that's kind of interesting. And I think could be five seconds retention. I like it, I might give you 30 seconds. If I like what I got after 30 seconds then, I might give you the two or three minutes and then I might spend half an hour with you on a webinar or something, or a call here. We don't have that first piece that catches the attention. You could be the smartest person on the planet, but now we'll be commercially struggling.
