Personal CRM — Mini Story
Slide 1 of 5
Follow-Through Shapes Outcomes
Thesis: In my founder network, reply speed, contact tier, and channel choice drive meetings and wins.
Dataset spans CalHacks, YC afterparty, founders.inc, USC mixers (Oct–Nov). Four steps with charts + a tiny table.
Small Data Preview
| Contact | Tier | Channel | Replied? | Latency (h) | Meeting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maya K. | A | Yes | 5 | Yes | |
| Ethan P. | A | Yes | 18 | No | |
| Ava N. | B | No | — | No |
Full dataset in Google Sheets. Next: three patterns.
Speed → Opportunity
Under 24h replies ≈ ~3× meeting rate vs. multi-day delays. Tight feedback loops win.
Tier A Wins + Channel Converts
Tier A → most “Won” outcomes. LinkedIn/Email convert more meetings than casual DMs.
Design the Follow-Up System
Reduce response friction (nudges, reminders, clear CTAs), invest in Tier A, choose professional channels for conversion.
