The problem it solves

Every new lead in your CRM needs research before a rep can reach out, and that research often gets rushed or skipped when the team is busy. Hot leads can sit unnoticed for hours while a rep works through a backlog.

Who it fits

A sales team using Salesforce that wants faster, more consistent follow-up on new leads.

How it works

  1. A new lead is created in Salesforce
  2. AI reviews the company and contact details and drafts an outreach strategy
  3. The analysis is logged to a Google Sheet with a timestamp
  4. Hot leads trigger a Slack alert, while others get a draft email waiting in Gmail
What you get

Outreach strategies drafted for your team to review

Every new Salesforce lead gets researched automatically, with hot leads flagged straight to your team in Slack for fast follow-up.

What you get

A logged lead analysis, a Slack alert for hot leads, and a ready-to-send Gmail draft for the rest.

What you need

A Salesforce account, an OpenAI API key, a Google Workspace account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
