🚫 Stop Guessing. ✅ Start Logging.(The 15-Minute Pipeline Fix)

Most small business owners don’t have a sales problem.

They have a tracking problem.

They’ve got sticky notes, emails, and “mental lists.”

That’s not a system. It’s a stress generator. 😣

💧 The Leak You Can’t See

Every forgotten follow-up is money left on the table.

💸You’ve already done the hard part: finding interest.

But if you don’t log it, you’ll lose it.

Here’s the fix that takes less time than a coffee break ☕:

✅ Open a Google Sheet

✅ Make 11 columns:

Create Date | Status | First | Last | Company | Contact | Next Step | When | Phone | Email | Notes

✅Fill it out daily

That’s your pipeline; no fancy CRM (Customer Relationship Management) required.

🔍 What Happens Next

You’ll start seeing patterns:

• Who buys quickly 💨

• Who needs nudging 🤔

• Who ghosts every time 👻

  
  

Those patterns indicate where to focus your energy.

🤖 Bring in AI

Once you’re logging consistently, let AI clean it up.

Ask ChatGPT:

“Summarize my sales sheet and show me who I should follow up with next week.”

That’s the sweet spot: your human relationships powered by smart reminders.

🧭 Final Thought

Visibility beats memory every time.Log daily, not “someday.”Fifteen minutes of discipline saves fifteen lost deals. 💪
