Every manager had their own way of working. Some tracked leads in spreadsheets. Some used Notion. Some kept conversations in WhatsApp and remembered the rest.
Follow-up depended on the manager. Statuses were updated differently. Even the names of sales stages and fields were not consistent.
The company had grown, but the process had grown through people copying what they saw around them. There was no single documented funnel from first contact to closed deal.
And when 60 people repeat manual work every day, small inefficiencies stop being small.
