Callsheet nears its its third birthday, and as such, it’s time for me to post another Year in Review. I started doing this at the end of year one, and repeated it last year. I started making these posts mostly as a marketing/retention exercise. However, they quickly became posts I’m also writing for me, to remind myself of all the progress I’ve made over the last year.

To begin, it’s worth noting that pricing remains the same as it was in 2023, when things seemed… quite a bit more stable. As I sit here now, I repeat what I said last year:

I’m not saying that I’m planning to raise prices, but I’m also not… not-saying that.

I am more convinced than ever that Callsheet is incredible value for money, even if it was stagnant. Which it very much was not!

Here’s what kept me busy for the last year:

This is an immense amount of progress for just one person in just one year. I’m very proud of where Callsheet is today. If you’re an existing subscriber, I hope you’ll consider renewing. If you’re not, you should give Callsheet a chance; I think you’ll like it.
