How to automate your sales process?
Start by mapping every step of your current sales process on a whiteboard, then identify which steps are (1) repetitive, (2) rule-based, (3) not requiring judgment. Automate those first — lead capture, enrichment, initial email sequences, meeting scheduling, follow-up reminders, deal-stage updates. Leave conversations, negotiations, and closing to humans. The mistake to avoid: automating the parts of your process that were badly designed to begin with.
