Client Call Agenda — Citrus America (2026-02-19)

Time: 10:00 AM
Lead: Melissa Cusumano
Support: Mark Hope (strategic backup)

⚠️ Scheduling conflict: PaperTube also has a 10 AM call tomorrow. Mark to coordinate with Carly to move PaperTube. Confirm before EOD 2026-02-18.

Agenda Items

1. Finalize Strategy Framework

The client (Brian/Miriam) has been reviewing the strategy framework document and leaving comments today. Walk through their feedback, resolve any open items, and aim to get sign-off.

• Ben has completed the HubSpot flows; Melissa to confirm all flows are in order before the call
• Reference the skyscraper content structure Mark originally built as the foundation

2. Website Pivot — Application-Centric Model

Present the proposed shift from a product-centric to an application-centric website structure.

Core concept: Customers buy solutions, not machines. (e.g., "You don't buy a lawnmower, you buy short grass.")

Proposed structure:
- 4–5 application landing pages, for example:
- Fresh Juice at Retail (grocery store produce department)
- Fresh Juice at a Hotel Breakfast Bar
- Fresh Juice in a Restaurant
- (additional retail / food service applications TBD)
- Each application page leads to the relevant product pages
- Primary CTA across all pages: Get a Quote / Get a Proposal

Key talking point: The current site leads with Product A, Product B, Product C — visitors self-select by machine rather than by need. The new structure lets them self-select by use case, then surfaces the right machine(s) for that context.

3. ROI Calculator

Mark proposed adding an ROI calculator to the site. Melissa to raise with Miriam/Brian as a high-value conversion asset.

• Framing: helps prospects quantify the business case before requesting a quote
• Confirm whether this is a near-term deliverable or a future-phase item

4. Blog Strategy — Ben's Document

Ben produced a blog strategy document covering:
- Keyword positioning priorities
- Content gaps
- Topic options derived from the original skyscraper research
- Competitive comparison topics (e.g., Citricasa vs. ZoomX)

Review the document with the client and align on the first batch of posts to execute.

Note: Melissa has deprioritized competitor campaigns (per Gilbert's feedback that they underperform) in favor of SEO-driven content. This framing should be consistent in the call.

5. HubSpot SQL Criteria — Propose Loosening

The current Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) definition requires a full BANT+ profile, making it nearly impossible to qualify leads in practice. The Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) criteria are fine.

Proposal for Miriam: Relax SQL criteria to focus on two core signals — Can this prospect use the product? and Are they interested? — rather than requiring complete BANT data upfront.

• Frame as increasing lead flow without sacrificing sales team time
• Miriam is in an operational/decision-making role and likely receptive to pragmatic fixes

Pre-Call Checklist

• [ ] Mark confirms with Carly that PaperTube call is moved

Background Context

• The AI client sentiment tool flagged several critical technical issues in the Citrus America account that may be worth addressing on this call or in a follow-up:
• 32 inactive trade show geofencing campaigns still enabled (wasting budget)
• Google Ads remarketing inefficiency
• Conversion action misconfiguration
• Overall client sentiment is positive and stable — Miriam and team are engaged, responsive, and providing constructive feedback
