Matt Dart explains how handling all sales and follow-up makes you the bottleneck. He outlines three systems to fix it: automated lead capture, instant follow-up, and a pipeline that tracks every opportunity so you're not relying on memory.

If every new client depends on you to do the selling, chasing, and following up, then you are the bottleneck in your business. These are the 3 systems that I would build right now to take the pressure off. Number 1, an automated lead capture so all the inquiries go into one spot. Number 2, an automated follow-up system so your leads are contacted instantly. And number 3, a sales pipeline so you know where every opportunity is and you stop relying on memory. This isn't about replacing you, it's about building a system around you. So comment the word systems and I'll send you an example of one that we use in our business.
