The Problem
On Monday you tested the 3 prompts in ChatGPT. You saw how prospect research → email drafting → follow-up scheduling works. But here's the reality: your sales team can't manually research 100 prospects per day. One SDR spending 3 hours on manual research and email crafting? That's $75/day in labor costs. Multiply that across a 10-person sales team and you're burning $195,000/year on tasks AI could handle in minutes. Plus the inconsistency that leads to missed opportunities.

Watch the 3 prompts chain together automatically. This is what you'll build.

The Code
Three levels: start simple, add reliability, then scale to production. Pick where you are.
When to Level Up
Simple API Calls
- Sequential processing
- Simple error handling
- Manual CRM updates
- Basic email scheduling
- Local logging
Add Reliability Layer
- Retry with exponential backoff
- CRM API integration (Salesforce/HubSpot)
- Email provider integration
- Structured logging
- Basic metrics tracking
Production Pipeline
- SQS/Redis queue management
- Concurrent processing (10-50 parallel)
- Prometheus metrics
- Result caching
- Automated CRM webhooks
- Analytics dashboard
Enterprise System
- Multi-agent orchestration
- Load balancing across regions
- Advanced analytics and A/B testing
- Custom model fine-tuning
- Dedicated infrastructure
- 24/7 monitoring and alerts
