maturity, of more agency a the And enterprise field QX business, lot sales because in marketing confidence by We're around that gain rallying that, getting marketing motions partner out lot are our more and we've word they longshot. and ever the general. so before, done than doing we have to really generation in like a we're as a enterprise our tech ecosystems

but maturing, when And the we time. The second the how start Americas about so half quite out healthier just XXXX. in in, we're is were the now the is only sales part we things this in cycle especially optimistic right of in to can pull wish year, which whole see not of this that equation especially

right RA the now.
