Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Our third quarter performance reflects the weak demand environment and continued softness in our core SMB customer base. We saw a cautious customer purchasing behavior throughout the quarter.
Revenue was down each month in the period and up 3.4% for the quarter, as compared to the year ago period. Our strategic account business continues to perform well, delivering solid growth.
In addition, retention rates and customer satisfaction across our customer base.
