The Words,In Plain English.

The terms you'll hear when you talk about growing a small business online.

CRM: Customer relationship management. One place that holds every contact, conversation and deal, so nothing lives in your head or your DMs.
Lead Capture: Turning a visitor into a contact with a name and a way to reach them, through a form, a chat, a booking or a call.
Speed To Lead: How fast you reply after someone reaches out. The first business to answer often wins the customer.
Pipeline: The stages a deal moves through, from new inquiry to booked to paid, so you can see what needs a push.
Drip: A short series of messages sent over days or weeks, like a welcome series for new contacts.
Automation: A rule that does a step for you when something happens, like tagging a new lead or sending a reminder.
Missed-Call Text-Back: An automatic text sent when you can't pick up, so a missed call doesn't become a missed customer.
Owned Audience: People you can reach directly, on a website and a list you control, instead of through a platform's feed.
