Direct answer

What the first build should solve

Direct answer: A practical lead CRM needs more than a list of contacts. It should show where each lead came from, who owns it, what has happened so far, what the next step is, and which opportunities are at risk of being ignored.

Detailed answer

How this product usually needs to be structured

A practical lead CRM needs more than a list of contacts. It should show where each lead came from, who owns it, what has happened so far, what the next step is, and which opportunities are at risk of being ignored.

The most useful core features usually include lead capture, source tracking, status pipelines, ownership assignment, follow-up notes, reminders, and reporting on conversion movement.

Think It Digital can help scope CRM features around the actual sales workflow so the product improves discipline and visibility instead of becoming another dashboard people stop using.
