The CRM should answer who this is, where they are, what happened, and what needs to happen next.
How it works
A CRM only works when the field can live inside it.
A system that looks organized but does not match the route will drift fast. Operators need fewer fields, clearer stages, and cleaner reminders.
Vertex builds the CRM around daily behavior: who owns the contact, what stage it is in, what was said, and when the next move happens.

Follow-up rules
Set practical reminders, sequence logic, and escalation points so good opportunities do not disappear.
Owner visibility
Make accountability clear without adding extra reporting work to the people in the field.
