**Sales and CRM**

# Every lead on a board, every stage in your CRM.

Sales conversations on WhatsApp go stale in a shared inbox. On a Smart Board they have stages, an owner, and an agent that qualifies and updates the CRM as they move.

## A pipeline, not a pile of chats.

### **Qualification on your criteria**

Budget, timeline, company size, whatever decides a real lead for you. The agent asks for it in conversation and the board shows you which stage each one reached.

### **CRM updates as an action**

Creating the contact, moving the stage, logging the note — these are actions the agent performs under your permission, not a manual step somebody does afterwards from memory.

### **A pipeline your team can see**

Enquiry, qualified, quoted, won. The board is the pipeline, so the whole team sees who is handling what, what is unread, and where every conversation stalled.

## Set it up around the pipeline you have.

1. **01**### **Name the stages**

   Make the board columns the stages your pipeline already has. The last column is the objective — a booked call, a sent quote, a closed deal.
2. **02**### **Give it the sales knowledge**

   Price lists, product specs, the objections you answer every week. The agent quotes from these and never confirms a number it cannot source.
3. **03**### **Connect the CRM**

   Through the API, an n8n node, or MCP. Permit the actions you want it to take, and the board writes back as conversations move.

## Questions before going live.

<details>

<summary>**Does this replace our CRM? **</summary>



No. It feeds it. Your CRM stays the record of truth; the board is where the WhatsApp conversation happens and the agent keeps the two in step so nobody is copying details across by hand.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Which CRMs does it work with? **</summary>



Any that you can reach through an API. Calypso exposes the same agent through an OpenAI-compatible API, an n8n node, and MCP, so the integration follows whatever your CRM already supports.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Will it close deals without us? **</summary>



Only as far as you let it. Routine actions follow your rules; sensitive or irreversible ones — a discount, a contract, a refund — wait for a person to approve them.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**How does it handle a lead that goes quiet? **</summary>



The conversation stays in its column on the board, visible rather than lost in an inbox. Follow-up is a permitted action you can scope: how often, for how long, and in what tone.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Can several salespeople work the same board? **</summary>



Yes. The board shows who is on which conversation and what is unread, and anyone can take over from the agent or from each other with the full context attached.
