And so we've approached them and said, hey, we've got a call center. Let us call them back. Let us book those calls. And he's like, holy cow, that's amazing.

It's because nobody has time to call those customers back, even if they sign up for the service. Get us... To call that customer back, we'll go right on to your CRM. We'll book it for you. And that way you can take advantage of that type of technology. So basically finishing the loop here, right? Chirp can only do so much, right?
