The follow-up problem that kills deals
Sales data from Invesp shows that 80% of closed deals require five or more follow-ups. Yet 44% of sales reps give up after just one. That gap — between what follow-up takes and what reps actually do — is where most pipeline goes to die.
It's not a motivation problem. It's a system problem. Deals go cold because there's no reliable mechanism to follow up at Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14 while you're managing 30 other prospects. A CRM tracks the deal. It doesn't chase it.
Deputy chases it. You text Deputy the deal and the cadence. It runs the follow-up sequence on schedule, reports back when a prospect responds, and keeps you focused on conversations that are already warm.
How it works
Text Deputy the deal details
"Follow up with Horizon Corp every 4 days. They went quiet after our demo. Keep it short and professional." That's the whole setup.
Deputy runs the cadence
Deputy sends follow-up emails or texts at the intervals you set — with the right tone at each stage — and tracks responses automatically.
You get a text when a deal moves
When a prospect responds, Deputy alerts you immediately. You step back in when it's time for a human — not to manage the system.
What Deputy does for sales reps
🔄 Automated follow-up sequences
Deputy runs multi-touch follow-up cadences for every deal in your pipeline — Day 3, Day 7, Day 14 — without you remembering to do it. Deals stop going cold because someone forgot to check back in.
⏰ Deal reminder texts
Deputy texts you when a deal has been silent too long, when a promised call-back window is approaching, or when a prospect said "check back in two weeks." Nothing falls through the cracks.
📋 Meeting prep briefings
Before every sales call, Deputy texts you a quick brief — who you're meeting, where the deal stands, last touchpoint, and any notes you've shared. Walk into every call prepared, not scrambling through email.
📊 Pipeline summary texts
Every Monday morning, Deputy texts you a summary of your open deals — what's hot, what's stalled, what needs a nudge this week. Start the week with full visibility instead of 30 minutes in a CRM.

"I had 40 open deals and was only actually following up on the top 10. Deputy now runs sequences on every deal in my pipeline. Last month I closed two deals from prospects I had basically written off — they just needed one more touch."

FAQ
How does Deputy help sales reps with follow-up?
You tell Deputy which deal needs a follow-up and when. Deputy sends the message on schedule, tracks whether it got a response, and keeps escalating until the prospect replies or you close the deal. It runs the entire follow-up cadence so you can focus on conversations that are already warm.
Can Deputy help me track my pipeline?
Yes. Text Deputy your deals and their stages, and it will send you a pipeline summary briefing on whatever schedule you want — daily, weekly, before a big call. No CRM required, though Deputy works alongside your existing tools.
Does Deputy work alongside a CRM?
Yes. Deputy works as a text-first execution layer on top of whatever tools you already use. It doesn't replace your CRM — it closes the gap between what your CRM tracks and what actually gets executed on.
What does Deputy cost for sales professionals?
Deputy is pay-as-you-go — you pay only when Deputy does work for you. Most sales reps spend a few dollars a month. There's no monthly subscription and no minimum spend. One recovered deal pays for months of Deputy.
