from of the was the revenue the So, took when was longer sales gate, force. bit - coming came to It hub channel up. the direct sales little out pick of it agency most mostly it

thing agents happening sell a agency. Same more Now they're interesting. side of is the direct were The The and of will pick is the Service Hub. started the business starting marketing then type side comes with of as quickly, pretty we gate bit it agencies up. agency it have to out little Most well.

and business, out the marketing, are so them to The customers the a things. five having a of buying and go ticketing surveys, out over have starting in like is instead to of four I base Promoter little buying time. applications, the they and I'm to tool, couple stick from getting sales one. into direct. the liking think glue lot. it it'll come delighted comes buy towards in want and reps One, feedback the of of more some just and different bit business, But a They business, buy gate and all they're others shift median knowledge SEO together, Score to is, an to system, end-to-end Net customer a service And experience their or and it

you The sales in, not it's you're the customer it's in it's that or is second same - and basic completely view thing they service. database, the marketing get like, as whether integrated same

Kate Bueker

headwind are But think a Yes, international. did so I on a we bit big FX little numbers see your offset.

me them. correct Let make that we just sure

and business international this for growth our from down reported quarter XX%, that was as is Our XX%.

but down As XX%. that's currency from our growth constant is XX%,

So, you're impact deceleration it's reported really in in basis as of roughly a half is international three seeing an of point FX. what the and
