All case studies Operator / High-Volume Networker · Productized Service

An operator with a 1,000-person network got 5 cards a day instead of guilt

The first external deployment of a productized relationship-management tool. Each morning, the system surfaces 5 of the most important people to reach today, with a draft message and full context.

The problem

An operator wanted to maintain meaningful relationships with ~1,000 people without dropping commitments ("send book rec," "intro X to Y"), missing follow-up dates ("reach out in December"), or going cold for so long that re-engagement felt transactional. Manual tracking was unsustainable.

What we built

  • Daily 8am cron job that selects 5 people and posts a Slack card per person with WHY / DO / CONTEXT / DRAFT
  • Priority scoring (days overdue × 10 + commitment owed + follow-up due + tier multiplier)
  • Tier framework: Core 50 / Active 200 / Nurture 500 / Maintain 250
  • Slack interactive buttons (Done with type-picker, Snooze, Swap)
  • Commitment extractor from meeting transcripts
  • Auto-touchpoint updates from Gmail and Calendar
  • Warm-up logic: cold contacts get light touches before asks
