Management Commentary
Jason Wood, Chief Executive Officer of Specificity, commented, "We are pleased with our start to 2023 as we continue to build on the positive momentum from 2022. While our revenue declined slightly, we increased our gross margins and greatly reduced our operating loss. This is a result of our strategy to focus on customer accounts with better margins and prospects for additional future growth and expansion."
Wood, continued, "The early success of our re-focused sales and marketing approach, which started in mid-February, has dramatically increased our sales funnel of opportunities and closing rate. Of note, while we have signed several new clients, many of them did not start their work with us until April, which will be more reflective in the current quarter.These new clients represent a wide range of industries (from construction to business services) and demonstrate that our digital marketing solutions can positively impact sales no matter what industry a business serves. We look forward to continuing to expand our Specificity digital marketing solutions, nationally, regionally, and locally, as a tool in more and more companies' marketing efforts."
