CRM & workflow systems

• ▸A business whose pipeline stages are specific to how it actually sells or delivers
• ▸A team that needs different people to see genuinely different things, for real reasons
• ▸An operation where enquiries arrive from a website and currently land in an inbox
• ▸A practice that has to evidence who did what, and when, after the fact

• ×A standard CRM would fit and the objection is really about cost of change, not fit
• ×The sales process is still being invented — automating a process nobody agrees on locks in confusion
• ×The requirement is contact storage and email history and nothing more

if one of these describes your situation, say so in the first message and we will save each other a call

1. 01

   Understand

   Who does what, in what order, and what has to be true before the next step.

2. 02

   Model

   Entities, states and the money definitions, fixed before any interface exists.

3. 03

   Build

   The application itself — data layer, logic, interface, deployed and used.

4. 04

   Automate

   The manual handoffs around it removed, with narrow triggers and explicit values.

5. 05

   Verify

   Checked on the deployed thing — the page served, the row written, the email received.
