Lead follow-up system
- One place for every new enquiry
- Lead source, owner, status, value, and next callback date
- Daily overdue follow-up view
- Reusable WhatsApp, email, and call note templates
Automation should first make daily work visible: new leads, pending callbacks, quote status, task ownership, and overdue follow-ups.
The first automation should not be a heavy CRM rollout. It should remove ambiguity from the work already happening across phone calls, WhatsApp, email, and spreadsheets.
For many Indian small businesses, a good first stack is a shared sheet, form, email notification, WhatsApp templates, calendar reminders, and a short daily review. Paid systems can come later when the process proves useful.
