Can I add more follow-up stages?

Yes — chain another Wait + IF + Gmail sequence after the first nudge for a longer cadence.

Does this replace my CRM?

No — it's a lightweight follow-up layer on top of a simple call log; wire it to your real CRM's API if you want deeper integration.

Sales Call Follow-up Sequence

Every logged sales call automatically gets an immediate recap email, then a check-in nudge 3 days later if the deal isn't closed yet — so prospects never go quiet just because a rep got busy.
