Thank you!

KPI Data - David would be the best bet to give you access to all of that Org Chart - ours lives on Paylocity (our HR software). I’m not really sure how to get you access to that. I tried exporting it a few different ways and nothing was very clean. Cancelled customer data - Julie is probably best to help with that. I could give you an example of it but it you want a large amount of data Julie will need to help gather that or give you access to run it yourself.
Let me know if you need additional info or are missing any introductions that I can help with!
Also - I sent you the invite for the marketing meeting next week in Austin if you can make it by for some of it.
Thanks!

Thanks Matt - I’ll reach out to Les directly.
Messaged Nitesh yesterday but he was actually on his way to India! Graciously he spent a few minutes with me on the phone while he was waiting on the flight and I was able to introduce myself and the goals of the project.
He mentioned he’ll review some of my questions and follow up with access to the Dream platform. Once he’s settled I’ll grab time to chat with him further.
Best, Uttam

Thanks for the recap.
I just spoke with Les and he will be glad to set aside the time you need next week. His email is lstobart@goanteater.com
Just email him with some possible times and he will sync up with you.
Thanks

Thank you for yesterday’s incredibly productive session. I wanted to recap the key findings and coordinate next steps on meetings and document requests.
Key Findings from Yesterday’s Meeting Several critical insights emerged that clarify the path forward:
Lead volume is the primary growth bottleneck - “The phone doesn’t ring as much as it has previously.” While conversion is strong (~70%), declining call volume is constraining growth.
Les retirement creates urgent timeline - March 2026 is ~4 months away. Capturing 5-10 years of marketing knowledge, vendor relationships, and channel strategy needs to start immediately.
Attribution blindness prevents smart budget decisions - “How did you hear about us?” data is unreliable. You’re “spending more but getting less out of it” without visibility into which channels work vs. don’t.
Tons of canceled customers on good terms - Massive untapped win-back opportunity. These customers have never been systematically targeted with campaigns.
Customer rewards program exists but is underutilized - As noted, “done a lousy job of making customers aware of it.” Quick win opportunity.
Single-service customers = high risk + high opportunity - Multi-service customers cancel far less. Single-service customers are both highest churn risk AND highest upsell potential.
Call Source transcripts are a gold mine - 80K+ monthly calls all recorded and transcribed. AI analysis can extract true attribution, coaching insights, and upsell opportunities.
Click to Buy has friction - “Takes too long” with tracked abandoned carts. Measurable and improvable. Will chat with Monkeyboy.
Dedicated commercial marketing budget is unknown
Leadline internal referral works well - ~2,500 leads/month from technician cross-referrals. Effective model to study.
Meeting Requests URGENT - Les Knowledge Transfer Request: Half-day session early next week
Purpose: Capture marketing strategy, channel history, vendor relationships, analytics processes
Approach: Position as knowledge transfer/transition planning (we know Les is proud of his work - this is about documenting what works, not critique)
Other Week 1 Meetings
Julie (IT/Rewards) - System access coordination, rewards program details (1-2 hour) David Lopez (Finance) - KPI sheet review, financial metrics (1-2 hour) Nitesh Whitney Monkeyboy Could you help coordinate introductions and scheduling?
Document Requests High Priority (Week 1) David’s KPI sheet (financial metrics and benchmarks) Pricing spreadsheet - Bo you mentioned this yesterday Canceled customer database export (with service type, cancel reason, cancel date, lifetime value if available) Org chart with contact info Medium Priority (Week 2) Marketing budget breakdown by channel (can get from Les in first meeting) Channel performance reports (last 12+ months) Abandoned cart data from Monkey Boy/Click to Buy Call Source attribution reports (current state) Email campaign performance (GreenRope) Rewards program enrollment/engagement data Leadline program metrics (if tracked) Bundle sales data (if tracked) Can you or your team help gather items 1-4 this week? I can ask David for these as well.
System Access Requests (Coordinating with Julie) Week 1 Critical Access
Google Analytics - View access (coordinate through Monkey Boy) Evolve - Read access to customer, booking, scheduling data GreenRope - Email campaign data and customer lists Next Steps We’ll send over a few working documents this week and early next week as we complete them:
Agenda’s for each meeting Writeups after each meeting (via email) Formalization of themes or opportunity areas with support from interviews Looking forward to kicking off these meetings and getting access to data!
Best, Uttam
