The story
An inquiry arrives through the website, an email, a chat or a direct message. The agent creates the contact, the company and the deal, reads what it can about the company and sends a reply that answers the question asked. It sets the follow-up task, sends the reminder when the day comes and moves the deal through the pipeline. On Monday the sales lead gets the pipeline review.
