# Paper Tube Co — Re-engagement — 2025-10-31

## Overview

PaperTube is a former client that Mark is actively working to bring back. As of the October 31 end-of-week sync, re-engagement is in progress and Mark expressed cautious optimism that the relationship can be revived.

> *"This company, PaperTube, we told you about, I told you about them. They're an old client. I think I got them coming back together."*
> — Mark Hope, 2025-10-31

## Context

PaperTube was mentioned briefly during the weekly leadership sync as one of several active pipeline opportunities. No proposal details, scope, or pricing were discussed — the note was that Mark believes he has the re-engagement moving in the right direction.

This opportunity is part of a broader pipeline of 6–8 deals Mark is working, 4 of which have active proposals out. Given November's projected revenue shortfall ($85k projected vs. costs), closing re-engagements like PaperTube carries added urgency.

## Next Steps

- [ ] Mark to confirm re-engagement status and determine whether a proposal is needed
- [ ] If moving forward, create a scoping conversation and proposal
