How are small businesses actually managing leads today?

I’ve been researching how small businesses handle lead management and customer follow-ups, especially now that everyone is talking about AI automation.

Curious what people are actually using in real life:

  • CRM tools?
  • Spreadsheets?
  • Shared inboxes?
  • Manual follow-ups?
  • AI tools?
  • Agencies/virtual assistants?

A few things I’d love to understand:

  • What system are you currently using?
  • What’s the most annoying part of managing leads?
  • What breaks most often?
  • What feels too expensive for what it does?
  • Have you tried AI automation yet?
  • If you could magically fix one part of the process, what would it be?
