    SalesForge – MVP

    A CRM with email sequences, MVP in 30 days

    SalesForge combines a CRM, automated email sequences and a reply inbox in one tool for sales teams. The team had a prototype and validated demand; we designed and launched the first working version of the product.

    Challenge

    The startup needed a working product rather than another mockup, and it had 30 days.

    Cold email outreach, replies and the sales funnel usually live in three different tools. SalesForge was meant to bring them together in one simple interface and add AI features, and the first version had to be ready quickly so the team could show it to the market.

    We started with user stories and wireframes, and built the design on a consistent set of components so new screens could be created quickly. We delivered the whole product in React, Node.js and AWS.

    From a lead list to a deal in the pipeline

    The product’s core flow fits into four steps.

    1. 01

      Importing leads

      A sales rep imports contacts and filters them by custom fields and companies.

    2. 02

      Email sequence

      They select leads, arrange the message steps and set the sending schedule.

    3. 03

      Sending from multiple accounts

      Messages go out from connected mailboxes, and replies land in a single inbox.

    4. 04

      Results and pipeline

      Opens and replies show up on the dashboard, and deals move through CRM stages.

    One tool instead of three

    Dashboard, sequences, email accounts and CRM, each module with the same layout and the same components.

    01

    Results dashboard

    At the top are the campaign numbers: how many people were contacted, how many opened and replied, how many deals were created and what they are worth. A chart shows results over time, with the pipeline of deals at each stage below it.

    02

    Email sequences

    The sequence list shows which sequences are active and how they perform: contacts, opens, clicks and replies. A new sequence is created in four steps (leads, content, schedule and summary) with filters by custom fields and companies.

    03

    Email accounts

    The team connects several mailboxes that sequences are sent from. Each one shows the number of messages sent in the last 30 days and which mailbox is the default.

    04

    CRM

    Deals sit on a board with stages, from first contact to negotiation, showing the value and number of deals at each stage. The team sets up the stages and customer fields itself in the settings.

    Light and dark mode

    The entire dashboard works in both modes.
