The problem it solves

New leads slip through the cracks when your team is juggling a spreadsheet or CRM during busy weeks. A lead that sits untouched for a day is far more likely to go cold or buy from someone else, and right now nobody notices until it is too late.

Who it fits

Sales teams tracking leads in a spreadsheet or CRM who need a reliable follow-up deadline enforced automatically.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule throughout the day
  2. Pulls the current list of leads from your spreadsheet
  3. Finds leads marked New that have not been contacted in the last 24 hours
  4. Groups those leads by the rep responsible for them
  5. Sends each rep one email listing exactly their overdue leads
What you get

Leads that never sit untouched overnight

Every rep gets a same-day email listing exactly which of their new leads have gone 24 hours without contact.

What you get

A reminder email to each sales rep listing the name, email, and phone number of every lead they still need to contact.

What you need

A Google Sheets account with your lead data and a Gmail account to send reminders.

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.
