Add Limited Outbound
                Technique
   • Continue with current inbound marketing strategy
   • Introduce “lukewarm calling”

      - Already have a relationship with them
      - Permission to contact them
   • Discover why companies opted out of HubSpot
   • Should not hurt brand image since it is not true
     outbound marketing

                      • Focus on Ollies that sell
          Owner         high involvement products
                      • Offer slimmed down
          Ollies        product

                    Two ways to improve these figures
                    • Increase price
                    • Reduce churn

                    Key Takeaways
                    • CMS increases CLTV by over $2000
                    • Website transfer costs $500
                    • Transfer makes sense to offer for free

                    New Tactics
                    • Limit options for non-CMS with new Owner Ollies
                    • Entice old customers to transfer
                    • Could earn up to $1.6 million in revenue over 3 years
                      if all existing Owner Ollies transfer
