Email, CRM and customer automation

Give every worthwhile enquiry a clear next step.

A lead is only useful if someone follows it through. We connect customer records, email and team responsibilities so enquiries can move from first interest to the next sales conversation. The work starts with the customer journey and the handovers that are costing your team time or opportunities.

01

Find where the conversation breaks down

Customer details may be spread across inboxes and systems. Marketing may send messages without knowing what sales has already discussed. A new enquiry may wait because nobody owns the next action.

We map how contacts enter the business, what should happen at each stage and which system holds the reliable record. That gives automation a clear purpose and your people a shared way of working.

02

Build the records, messages and handovers together

The project can cover CRM configuration, customer segments, email templates, follow-up sequences and agreed integrations. We design triggers and exceptions around the real workflow, including when a person needs to step in.

  • A customer lifecycle and data map with clear record ownership.
  • CRM fields, pipeline stages, segments and handover rules.
  • Welcome, nurture or re-engagement messages suited to the customer stage.
  • Automation testing, administration guidance and useful reporting.

See connected sales work in practice

For Mak's Patch, we delivered a sales platform bringing together CRM, the Maya AI assistant, territory and field planning, outreach, proposals and stock-aware forecasting. The work connected customer information with practical actions across the sales process.

Make the workflow dependable before it goes live

We test enrolment, duplicate handling, exclusions, unsubscribes and failure paths as part of the agreed build. Marketing permissions and essential service messages are treated according to their purpose.

Your team receives a clear view of how the workflow operates and who maintains it. Ongoing campaigns or maintenance can be included when you need continuing support.

FAQ

Questions answered

Can you work with our existing CRM and email platform?

Yes, subject to the tools and access available. We first assess what the current setup can support. A change of platform should have a practical reason.

Can we start with one broken handover?

Yes. A focused enquiry follow-up, welcome sequence or sales handover can be a useful first project. The scope should address a defined problem and have someone responsible for the result.

Will automation mean customers only hear from software?

The workflow can combine timely automated messages with clear human follow-up. We agree which conversations need a person and what information they need before responding.

What information should we send first?

Name the systems, describe the handover problem and explain the outcome you want. A high-level process description is enough for the initial conversation; customer lists are not needed.

Before you hire again, see what your team produces against your industry.

Compare your revenue per payroll employee and wage costs with published New Zealand industry figures. Then use an optional self-assessment to identify questions about sales, processes, systems and management that are worth investigating. Your initial results are available without contact details.
