Summary

SMEs and one-person sales teams run their entire pipeline inside WhatsApp plus memory/spreadsheet, with no systematic follow-up. Because generic CRMs are built around pipelines and deal stages that don't match how these owners actually think ('family wants Georgia in December, waiting on visa, remind me Tuesday'), they pay for a subscription, use it for 3 weeks, and revert to the notebook. The result: enquiries go cold within hours, follow-ups are silently forgotten, and revenue leaks with no visibility. Existing solutions fail because they demand workflow change rather than matching WhatsApp-native behaviour and auto-firing reminders; the 'graveyard of paid-but-unused CRM subscriptions' is huge. This is severe, quantifiable revenue loss for exactly the SME segment in Singapore/SEA, and no mainstream tool solves the WhatsApp-first + automatic-follow-up combination cheaply.
