--0000000000004288b005f3419bdb Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Thanks Tim. I think we need a meeting here. Please put some time on the calendar for next week and include Alexa G on the marketing end. It would be best to do it back half of the week as I would like to discuss with Tad prior to see if we can get buy-in on spending in a few areas. Specifically some SEO investment because if this follows the rebrand path in the US, where we invested a ton, we will still see a very material drop in the funnel (30%+ plus reduction in non-BD leads). Worst case scenario from this is a dip in volume and revenue, we can't afford that right now.
