Quick Buyer Notes

• Tools don’t close; conversations do. Choose based on conversation quality and maintenance effort.
• Keep your stack lean. Every extra tool increases breakage and slows response time.
• Measure what matters: booked calls and show‑up rate.

CTA: Start with the DM assistant that does the heavy lifting.
