AI Lead Scoring & Boundary CRM for Event Vendors

A lightweight pre-sales CRM that connects to email and tracks the length and depth of client inquiries. It automatically scores lead quality and prompts the vendor to send pre-written 'timeline check' or 'deposit required' emails after a set threshold (e.g., 3 months or 10 emails) to prevent sunk-cost traps.
