What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Joanna Platt introduces Leanne Partington of Astley Brook Packaging to Sophie Ling as a new B-Viz prospect. Leanne is keen, the first call is to stay on the use case, and price sits with Douglas.
Customer view: Joanna vouches strongly for Astley Brook, whose Snowflake warehouse Mossbrook built, and says Sophie has been brilliant since they signed. She wants a straight answer on what B-Viz would do with data they already hold.
Ask: no generic demo, because Leanne will pick the brands, and price is not hers to discuss.
Next: Sophie proposes a listening call, then a demo on their own data. Joanna will join the opening and chase the next step after Sophie's summary.

- Joanna Platt 18 Nov 2025 14:07Hi Sophie, As promised, an introduction. This is Leanne Partington, Head of Customer Service at Astley Brook Packaging. We built their Snowflake warehouse and I would stake my name on them, which is why I'm making this one. Why now: - Leanne's team, key accounts and credit all look at the same brands through different systems - They want to see each brand whole, orders and complaints together - The warehouse is in good shape, so the data is ready for B-Viz What does Leanne need on day one? I think it's a straight answer on what B-Viz would do with the data they already hold, before anyone talks about commercials. Leanne, Sophie is our account executive contact at BG-Demo and has been brilliant with us since we signed in the summer. Sophie, can you come back to us both with a time for a first call this week or next? Let's write that down so it doesn't drift. Thanks, Joanna
- Sophie Ling 18 Nov 2025 14:55Hi Joanna, hi Leanne, Thanks for the introduction, Joanna, much appreciated. Lovely to meet you by email, Leanne. I'd suggest a short first call where I mostly listen. It would help to hear which brands and which lines cause you the most chasing today, and which systems you check when a customer rings with a complaint. After that I can show you what a demo on your own data could look like, and we can decide together whether it's worth going further. Could you each send me a couple of times that suit next week? I'll fit around you. If it's easier, Joanna can join for the first ten minutes to frame it from the delivery side. Kind regards, Sophie
- Joanna Platt 19 Nov 2025 16:19Sophie, Leanne has come back to me and is keen. Next week works for her, mornings are best. I'll join for the opening and then drop off so it's her conversation. Two things so nothing falls through: - Leanne will pick the brands to look at, so please don't lead with a generic demo - Price is not hers to discuss, that sits with Douglas at Astley Brook, so keep the first call to the use case Who owns the follow-up after the call, us or you? I'd say you send the summary and I chase the next step with Leanne. Happy with that? Thanks, Joanna
