One pipeline, every source

Website forms, Google LSA, Angi, Facebook leads, and referrals should land in one inbox. When everything scatters across email and texts, jobs die in the gap.

Day 0, 2, and 5 quote nudges recover margin that sticky notes never will. The HVAC shops winning on close rate treat follow-up like dispatch — scheduled, not hoped for.
