Frequently asked
Can Sage close deals for me?
No - Sage supports your sales process, it doesn't replace you. It drafts follow-ups, surfaces pipeline insights, and alerts you to stale deals. You still own the relationships and close the deals.
What CRMs does Sage work with?
Sage integrates with your existing tools through the OrgX platform. CRM-specific integrations are expanding. Currently works best with pipeline data in Linear, Notion, or connected via API.
When should I hire a sales coordinator?
Hire when you have 2+ salespeople who need operational support, complex commission structures to manage, or high-volume outbound requiring dedicated admin. Usually this is when you're scaling a proven sales motion.
How does Sage prioritize my deals?
Sage analyzes engagement signals (email opens, response times, meeting frequency), deal age, and stage progression patterns from your historical data. It surfaces deals that are either high-potential or at-risk, so you focus your energy where it matters most.
Can Sage send emails automatically?
No - Sage drafts follow-up emails but you send them. This keeps your communication authentic. You can review, edit, and send with one click. The goal is eliminating the writing burden, not automating your relationships.
What if I have a sales team?
Sage is optimized for founder-led sales. If you have a team, each rep can use Sage for their own pipeline. For team-wide sales ops (quota tracking, commission management, team analytics), you'll want dedicated sales ops eventually.
