She started helping us with support and she started helping us with customer success, kind of the implementations. And then, and then we went and hired another person said, all right, well, we want to move her. We're close enough deals. And at that point I was the only one selling and I'm out selling enough, closing enough deals. We need her focused just on customer success.

So we go hire a customer support person and he is still with us as well today. So we hired him. I want to say he started January 2020. And so it's just, to me, it's a continual evaluation of your team of where are you excelling and where are areas that you need some help. Of course, for us now, we've got a full leadership team. We're nearly 50 employees now.

And then I think the other asterisk that comes by it is making sure that you're hiring as good culture fits.
