I recently got over my fear of doing outreach šŸ˜…
Not sure if I’m the only one, but the hardest part wasn’t writing emails… it was figuring out how to track everything. Who did I contact? When? Did I follow up?
Notion? Excel? Random notes?
Didn’t feel right.
So I did the most developer thing possible… opened my terminal and typed: laravel new 🧠
I ended up building my own CRM from scratch.
It took me a couple of weeks (and a bit of obsession), but now I have a system that helps me manage leads, follow-ups and pipeline without friction.
I even added a radar using Google APIs to discover local businesses automatically šŸ“
Way more fun than spreadsheets.
Curious… who else ends up building their own tools instead of using existing ones? šŸ‘€
