Current opportunities:<\/strong><br data-start=\"2175\" data-end=\"2178\" \/>Emails, calls, appointments: every step must be tracked, scheduled, and monitored. Without a system, it&#039;s impossible to maintain consistency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2532\"><strong data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2345\">3. Estimates sent:<\/strong><br data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2348\" \/>After sending, silence. But often it&#039;s not disinterest: the client needs clarification, has doubts, or is procrastinating.
