Built a dead-simple pipeline tracker after losing a deal because I forgot to follow up
Indie Hackers Free Beginner
A short, honest account of the exact failure mode this question warns about: a solo founder loses a good prospect purely from forgetting to follow up, then builds the simplest possible fix. Worth reading for the reminder that the tool never matters as much as the habit of checking it.
- Deals rarely die from a bad pitch, they die from silence after the first good call
- A pretty pipeline you forget to check is no better than no pipeline at all
- The fix that worked was the simplest one, not the most feature-complete one
