Transcript excerpt

Okay. I just realized I ignored $500,000 worth of pipeline because I never set up a CRM. I run a 7 figure design studio and I never yes one because they felt too manual. I thought, I have a great memory, so why even bother? Turns out I have been very very wrong about that because I best connected my Gmail and calendar to Attio, the AI CRM, which I've actually been recommended many times over by founders that we work with. Tier sifted over 10,000 emails and it was instantly populated with every person I've contacted, what company they work at, and when we last spoke. Then I asked Atteo, who have I not followed up with that mentioned wanting to work with Mappo Studio on product design? It gave me a list of 12 people in the last six months. Each project is worth around $50,000 to us, so that's quite a big deal. So yeah, turns out my memory isn't that great. So if you've been winging it like me, trust me, attio is better. I like more business content. Bye.
