Managing customer follow-ups across scattered communications

Solopreneurs receive leads via email, forms, LinkedIn messages, and Instagram DMs but lack a centralized inbox to see all conversations chronologically. CRM adoption is low because setup feels overwhelming for solo operators; users spend 15-30 minutes daily searching for where a customer said something. Business owners in r/smallbusiness and indie communities express burnout from context-switching across platforms.
