Your CRM is a record of attrition, not a driver of revenue

"I spent 15 years in sales, from SDR to enterprise. The teams I worked in were good. They followed up properly, worked hard and ran the process. We still never closed everything. No team does. The deals we missed rarely got away because someone dropped the ball. The budget wasn't there yet, the project had slipped a quarter, or the person who enquired was busy with something more urgent. We reached them when it suited our pipeline, not their situation. They went quiet, got marked ""not interested"", and stayed that way. So I built a business to fix it."
