• Reduced manual sales tracking to near-zero by building a real-time performance dashboard (Airtable Interfaces + n8n) that ingested leads from Lusha API, Google Sheets, and contact forms, deduplicated via suppression logic, and synced meeting data from Google Calendar and Smartlead for accurate rep-level attribution.
• Cut proposal turnaround time from 2 days to under 30 minutes by engineering an AI sales pipeline (Fireflies.ai, n8n, Make.com, PandaDoc, Claude MCP) that auto-transcribes discovery calls, drafts personalized proposals via an AI agent, and delivers them via a single Airtable button.
