I mean the growth of sales org. From five to what number?
We also established a revenue operations unit and professional services. One of the key aspects of ChatBot is that it's easy to purchase but hard to deploy. This was crucial in bringing ChatBot upmarket into larger deal sizes. The original deal size was $50 MRR, and they had never had anyone purchase their enterprise plan. So, we transitioned from selling $50 MRR to $2,000 to $5,000 MRR on ChatBot, which were completely different deals.
