# Blue Sky Capital — Retainer & Collections — 2025-10-31

Discussed during [[wiki/meetings/2025-10-31-weekly-eow-call-melissa|Weekly End-of-Week Call — 2025-10-31]].

## Overview

Blue Sky Capital (contact: Jim Cross) is a long-standing on-and-off client being moved onto a new monthly retainer starting November 1, 2025. Two billing issues require immediate follow-up: an unpaid project invoice and a blocker preventing LinkedIn ad boosting from launching.

## Status at Time of Meeting

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| New retainer | $1,500/mo, starting Nov 1, 2025 |
| Outstanding invoice | Spend-data project — unpaid (amount unspecified in call) |
| LinkedIn ads | Blocked — credit card not successfully added to ad account |

## Billing

- Mark to add Blue Sky Capital at **$1,500/mo** in billing, effective November 1.
- The spend-data project invoice was issued but has not been paid. Jim Cross typically pays quickly, so Melissa flagged this as unusual and planned to mention it in her next correspondence.

> *"He normally pays pretty quick."* — Melissa

## LinkedIn Ad Account Blocker

Jim Cross believes he has added a credit card to the LinkedIn ad account, but the team cannot see it on their end. The likely cause is that the card was added to a personal LinkedIn account rather than the company ad account.

**Resolution plan:** Melissa will record a Loom video walking Jim through exactly where to add the card in the correct account.

> *"I'm going to make a Loom and show him exactly where he needs to go after this call."* — Melissa

Note: Melissa's Loom account was at its seat limit at the time of the call. Mark agreed to add her to the Asymmetric team workspace.
