Questions
Can AI follow up with leads automatically?
Yes. AI can draft and send follow-ups based on rules you set, for example over email or WhatsApp. Keep a person reviewing high-value conversations.
Do I need a CRM to use AI sales tools?
Not always, but AI sales tools are far more useful when they can read and update a CRM, so a simple CRM is a good first step.
