So TalkDesk is a cloud-based, actually born a cloud call center solution.

How do you make money?

We, like many other enterprise software companies, we charge users for license fees, and we also charge for telephone companies.

So the advantage of TalkTest is you have one vendor that provides both the software and telephone and SMS services.

You have one bill and one company to work with.

Yes, it's absolutely a SaaS company.

It's really dependent all over the place.

So a company would say 50 users who pay, let's say $5,000 a month or $7,000 a month for the service.

I don't have an average though on my head.

So we have customers with three users and we have customers with 850 users.

So it's really hard to average them out.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
677: Talkdesk Passes 50,000 Seats, $25M Raised To Be Your More Efficient Call Center with COO Gadi Shamia

Yeah, the per user cost per month is between $65 to $125, depending on the subscription.

Then the typical customer will spend another,

677: Talkdesk Passes 50,000 Seats, $25M Raised To Be Your More Efficient Call Center with COO Gadi Shamia

$30 to $40 on telephony a month.

You know, how TalkDesk sees me, we need to ask Tiago, who is the founder of the company.

I don't think of myself, when you joined three years in, and I did found the company myself, when you joined three years in, you're not a founder anymore, and you have to acknowledge that.
