The problem it solves

Leads go cold when no one has time to check who hasn't been followed up with recently. Writing a thoughtful, personalized follow-up for every stale lead takes time your sales team does not have on a busy day. Deals quietly slip away simply because nobody remembered to reach back out.

Who it fits

Small sales teams who track leads in a spreadsheet and cannot afford a dedicated assistant to manage follow-ups.

How it works

  1. The system checks your lead spreadsheet every weekday
  2. Leads with no recent contact are flagged
  3. The last meeting transcript for each lead is pulled
  4. AI writes a personalized follow-up email based on the conversation history
  5. The email is saved as a Gmail draft for your team to review and send
What you get

Follow-up drafts ready and waiting in your inbox

Every overdue lead gets a personalized follow-up drafted and waiting in Gmail for your team to send.

What you get

A ready-to-send Gmail draft for every overdue lead, plus an updated status in your lead spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets and Google Drive account, a Gmail account, and a Google Gemini 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.
