    LOL their biggest expense is their data storage and transfer, surely. This is a company that MUST be raking it in since so many high-profile clients use them. This issue is really about greed.

      I think most companies biggest expense is in fact payroll. I would guess that’s especially true in tech. 700 people. Let’s imagine on average each cost the company 100k/year (pay+benefits+taxes+admin+etc). That’s 70 million dollars a year, and probably a very conservative estimate.

        It is sales software. You can put in an account for some business plus all the contact people you’d ever need. Then you can track all of the emails and such that go through. Think of it like a ticketing system, which some people have forced it to do, that focuses specifically on the needs of company sales.
