Q And what's driven most of the growth? You've, you've doubled year over year. How are you landing new customers?
A Okay. So, um, as of now in the last seven years, we've significantly grown from referrals only. So let's say, um, you know, people change jobs all the time. So, and we, we typically work very closely with sales and marketing professionals, head of marketing or head of sales from the company. So every time they changed their jobs, they took my contact information with them. And, you know, that's how we grew with them. And it was more like a deferred based network where we had leads coming into us versus we going out until, um, you know, this year when we started rebranding with, you know, uh, with a new name of cloud lead and we have hired a team of sales, a development, we're trying to build a team of sales development reps and, you know, speeding up on that on our outbound processes.
