About Saddlebag

Saddlebag represents the discovery phase before traditional CRM. It provides a structured workspace for researching opportunities, collecting evidence, qualifying prospects, and handing clean Leads to Sales while keeping the CRM focused on active business relationships.

Trail Dashboard

Monitor active discovery efforts and understand where the team is focused.

Start here to see which market opportunities are being researched, where evidence is accumulating, and what may be ready to become a Lead next.

Why this page exists

The Trail Dashboard gives a first-time reviewer the whole discovery picture before opening individual work areas. Use it to scan active opportunities, compare evidence levels, and choose where to dig next.

A Dig Site is the practical workbench where the team researches an opportunity and gathers Nuggets before anything enters Sales or CRM.

Recent evidence

Nuggets surfaced this week

Nuggets are evidence records. They can be people, company clues, timing signals, outreach results, or replies. They are not Leads until the market confirms interest.

Claim Workspace

Claim Workspace

Why this page exists

This workspace is where Discovery spends most of its time. Team members work one prospect at a time, collecting evidence, recording outreach, and advancing qualified opportunities toward Sales.

Lead Created

A Lead is created only after a prospect accepts a meeting with Jonathan.

This page shows the exact boundary between research evidence and a real Sales opportunity.

Why this page exists

Discovery can find names, companies, and useful context, but those are still Nuggets. Click Create Lead only after the accepted CTA confirms interest: "Yes, I'll meet with Jonathan."

Sales Handoff

Transfer a qualified opportunity to Sales with enough context for a productive conversation.

Julie sends Jonathan the confirmed interest, source evidence, and next step while staying CC'd for continuity.

Why this page exists

The Handoff prevents context loss. It packages why the prospect matters, what they agreed to, and what Jonathan should do next.

    CRM Qualification

    Graduate only qualified records into the CRM.

    Use this as a cleanup gate for CRM exports so speculative discovery does not pollute active relationship records.

    Why this page exists

    CRM Cleanup protects the Sales system. Imported records are reviewed and reclassified as Client, Customer, Lead, Prospect, or Archive based on what is actually known.
