Leads/quotes rot in the inbox — follow-up is manual and nobody does it
Pain point
"The biggest change for us was not an AI tool, it was boring automation around follow up... nothing waits more than a day" (46). A consultancy owner separately says he "could never grow outside of myself" due to manual data entry/analysis.
Signal
Strong. Top substantive comment on a 285-upvote thread; reinforced by Post 7 ("the hard part is making cold calls and convincing someone to buy," 48) and Post 6's "sell to small businesses — plumbers, lawyers. They pay and they don't leave" (58). Recurs across 3 threads.
Opportunity
Dead-simple quote-follow-up bot for trades/local services: ingest sent quotes, auto-nudge at day 1/3/7 by SMS+email, surface "awaiting reply" dashboard. Narrow, boring, sticky, $99/mo. **Moderate build**; integrations (QuickBooks, Jobber, Gmail) are the hard part.
