Episode 39

Somewhere in Your Inbox, a Lead Is Quietly Dying

Somewhere in your inbox, right now, a lead is quietly dying, and it was never a discipline problem. Follow-up is memory work, and memory work is exactly what an A.I. employee does better than the busiest person in your company. I'm Makeda Boehm. My own booking agent drafted 107 personalized pitches in minutes, and then my system pumped the brakes on itself, on purpose. Both halves of that story are the lesson.

In this episode:
- Why the fortune-is-in-the-follow-up advice never fixed anything
- The honest math on C.R.M. reminders, templates, and discipline plans
- The four memory jobs hiding inside "follow-up," and who's currently assigned all of them
- The boundaries that make a relationship-touching employee safe
- The six-month silence count: how to measure your own leak today

Who this is for: the owner with warm conversations going quiet and a drafts folder they've stopped opening.
