Thnks Case Study

Tell us about your company and your role.

It’s no secret that everyone likes to be appreciated, and one of the core tenets of selling is that we choose to do business with people we like. Simple, considerate gestures that demonstrate you value and respect someone's time have the power to completely change their perspective. Thnks provides an edge in the sales process by simplifying the act of showing gratitude. Thnks shortens sales cycles and moves more prospects through our clients' pipelines. While sending small gestures of appreciation is at the core of what we do, our clients view Thnks as a pipeline development and compliance tool rather than a gifting solution. I am CTO at Thnks.

How do you plan to use the R&D tax credit?

It is earmarked for use in the IT budget for our ISO and SOC2 certifications.

The R&D tax credit is something all companies developing technology should look into as it does not require earnings and is no longer only for large enterprises. It is a form of non-dilutive capital that is straightforward to apply for with the right partner.
