The minimum viable system

  • A form or intake source you actually use
  • A spreadsheet or CRM that becomes the source of truth
  • An automatic acknowledgment so leads are not left hanging
  • A status field so you know what happens next
  • A reminder or delayed follow-up for quiet leads

What to avoid

  • Adding too many tools before the basics work
  • Automating every branch case on day one
  • Using canned messages that do not sound like your business
  • Assuming automation removes the need for review
