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."

Status

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
