So now...
First, you need to catch up with inflation and then you need to step up the game. So this means that you might be kind of just working on half of the leads that you're actually paying for. And this is just going more and more expensive. So this means it's eating from your profit and it's limiting your scale. So that's kind of where one of the major misconceptions comes up.

This goes to rehash them automatically as well. Many of those calls. And the other thing is one of the most common reasons where you can also optimize is like from the CSR team's perspective.

One thing is that today, So the way we design Clays is to answer the top three questions that the company will have in the call center. Number one is, what's my true booking rate, as we discussed?
