What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Sophie Ling recaps the 4 Feb 2026 negotiation call: Growth tier, £60k total deal value, terms to go in the order form. Leanne Partington confirms the notes match and asks who will work with her team during set-up.
Ask: Finance Director Douglas Entwistle wanted the terms in writing. Leanne Partington, Head of Customer Service, confirmed the recap and asked for a named BG-Demo person who can look at a real complaint with her team and say what the customer saw.
Customer view: Leanne leaves the commercial points to Douglas. Her interest is the view by brand and line, which Sophie says will be confirmed on Astley Brook's own data before go-live.
Next: Sophie names Amara Obi as customer success manager after go-live and will confirm set-up contacts in the order form pack. The aim is a signature by 20 Feb 2026. Douglas does not reply in this thread.

- Sophie Ling 4 Feb 2026 16:43Hi Douglas, hi Leanne, Thanks both for the time today. Douglas, you asked for things in writing, so here is where we landed: - The proposal is for the Growth tier, with a total deal value of £59,500. - We covered the terms and what happens at the first renewal. I'll set these out in the order form so nothing rests on conversation. - Leanne's team needs the view by brand and line, which we will confirm on your own data before go-live. I've copied Owen Tallis, our VP Sales, who is across the commercial side. Please correct anything I have got wrong. Best, Sophie
- Leanne Partington 5 Feb 2026 16:56Hi Sophie, That matches my notes. One thing from my side: can you say who from BG-Demo will work with my team during set-up? Someone who can look at a real complaint with us and say what the customer saw. I'll leave the commercial points with Douglas. Thanks, Leanne
- Sophie Ling 6 Feb 2026 08:05Hi both, Leanne, good question. Amara Obi will be your customer success manager once you are live, and she will work with your team on adoption. I'll confirm the set-up contacts in the order form pack. Douglas, the aim is to send the order form so you can sign by 20 Feb 2026. Owen and I will have it with you before then. Best, Sophie
