What happens today

It happens in almost every business: leads come in from everywhere (WhatsApp, Instagram, email, referrals), each salesperson keeps their own list, and nobody really knows who to call first. Many sales are not lost because the customer wasn’t interested, but because someone got there late, or never got there at all.
