The Problem: Sales Chaos
If you're a founder or on a small team, you know the pain:
- You have a list of leads somewhere (spreadsheet, CRM, sticky notes...)
- You know you should be doing outreach, but when you finally have time, you don't know where to start
- Follow-ups slip through the cracks
- Every week feels like you're starting from scratch
The result? Inconsistent outreach, missed opportunities, and the nagging feeling that you should be doing more.
Tempo fixes this with a simple system built around three pillars.
The Three Pillars of Tempo
Pillar 1: Build Your Pipeline
Add companies and contacts you want to target. Import from CSV, add manually, or let AI help you find prospects.
Your pipeline has stages: Discovery → Review → Active → Won/Lost. Tempo shows you where each lead stands.
Pillar 2: Daily Work Sessions
Tell Tempo how much time you have (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour) and what you want to focus on:
- Find Leads: Research and add new prospects to your pipeline
- Outreach: Send first-touch emails and LinkedIn messages
- Nurture: Follow up with existing conversations
Tempo generates a task queue sized to your available time. No more "what should I do?" paralysis.
Pillar 3: Track Progress
See your week at a glance: tasks completed, leads moved forward, response rates. Tempo suggests what to focus on each day based on your pipeline health.
Weekly and monthly views show trends so you can adjust your approach over time.
How It Works in Practice
Here's what a typical day looks like with Tempo:
- 9:00 AM: Open Tempo, see "Your Week at a Glance" — you're on track with outreach but need more leads in the pipeline
- 9:01 AM: Click "Find Leads", set timer for 30 minutes
- 9:02-9:30 AM: Tempo shows you companies to research. Add 5 to your pipeline with notes.
- 2:00 PM: Quick 15-minute session — select "Nurture", send 3 follow-up emails from Tempo's queue
- End of day: Check your stats — 8 tasks completed, 2 new leads added, 1 meeting booked
The key insight: 15 minutes daily beats 4 hours once a week. Tempo makes consistency easy.
