The problem it solves

Keeping track of which leads need a follow-up email, cross-checking your calendar against your spreadsheet, and remembering to follow up again after a no-show eats up hours every week. It's easy for leads to slip through the cracks when you're busy running the business.

Who it fits

Small sales teams or solo founders who handle their own outbound follow-up and bookings.

How it works

  1. New leads are added to your CRM sheet on a schedule
  2. Leads without a booked call get a personalized follow-up email
  3. A booked calendar event automatically pauses their follow-ups
  4. Missed meetings trigger an automatic reschedule email
  5. Your CRM sheet stays updated with every status change
What you get

Leads followed up with automatically every time

You get personalized follow-up emails sent to every new lead automatically, with outreach pausing as soon as a call is booked.

What you get

A continuously updated CRM sheet and a steady stream of personalized follow-up emails sent on your behalf.

What you need

A Google Workspace account for Sheets, Calendar, and Gmail, plus an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
