What is Howie Resale Ceiling Test?
“Internal ops use → margin gain; client resale → no white-label rails”
Howie's Team plan at $25 monthly covers unlimited teammates plus shared workspace credits, which makes internal deployment cheap to spread across an agency's own account and delivery leads. The ceiling appears on the resale side: there is no published white-label program or multi-tenant client reporting dashboard, so an agency billing Howie inside a retainer is reselling a tool the client could buy directly. Run the test before pitching it. If the value sits in your configuration work (calendar rules, focus-time blocks, handoff protocols, the $299/mo Starter Scheduling Setup), the margin holds because the client is paying for setup and tuning, not the seat. If the value sits in the seat itself, expect the client to ask why they are not buying the $25 plan themselves. Enterprise terms (invoicing, DPA, SLA) are quote-only, so larger client accounts need a sales conversation before you commit to a fixed retainer price.
