Helping sales teams find and follow up with the right businesses

What the tool does today

The tool gathers business details from public listings and imported spreadsheets, then looks for contact information through Google Places and company websites. It brings these records into one dashboard, checks for duplicates, and keeps links to the original sources so users can review the information.

Sales teams can filter businesses, save promising contacts, and export a shortlist. The next step is to help them decide which businesses are worth approaching and what to say, while keeping people in control of the final message.

What we are building next

1. Keep track of every conversation. Show who has been contacted, who replied, and who needs a follow-up. Record requests to stop receiving messages.
2. Help the team choose who to approach. AI will compare each business with the service being offered, explain why it may be a good fit, and draft a message using the available facts. For example, a packaging supplier could be shortlisted for inventory software without assuming it has an inventory problem.
3. Let people review before anything is sent. Users will check the suggested contacts, edit messages, and approve them. We will first test with a small group to see whether the suggestions are useful, the messages are accurate, and the costs are worthwhile.
4. Add controlled WhatsApp follow-ups. Messages will go to contacts who have agreed to receive them, using approved message formats. The system will track replies, prevent duplicate sends, and enforce spending limits. It will run independently of a user’s laptop.

Where the project stands

The lead collection and review tools are built. AI recommendations, message drafting, and automated sending are planned. We will measure time saved, useful sales conversations, and running costs during the initial trial.
