I think it is very convenient to get notified by Cliq , as there are multi modules in apps, but we will always check Cliqs

                                                                                                                  Every great sale starts with a great story. And your pitch deck? That’s where the story takes shape. But too often, these presentations end up looking generic, overloaded with text, or lacking structure. The good news is, it's easier to fix than you think!
