Support structured follow-up so leads do not get lost between channels or handoffs.
FAQ
A few practical questions
Is this meant for enterprise sales teams?
Not really. The workflow is aimed at smaller service businesses that need operational clarity more than enterprise-scale process complexity.
Why is this useful in practice?
Because small teams often lose opportunities in the handoff between inquiry and response, and a clearer process can fix that without heavy tooling.
