Open your inbox. 200+ unread emails stare back. Hot leads mix with cold pitches. Contract approvals hide under team updates. That demo request from yesterday? Already buried.
Sales reps lose deals in their inbox every day. Not because they can't sell, but because important emails get lost in the noise.
The sales inbox problem nobody talks about
Sales emails aren't like other emails. Each message represents money.
A prospect asking about pricing needs an answer now, not tomorrow. A contract stuck in legal needs pushing today. A customer complaint needs immediate attention before they churn.
But everything lands in one place. Your CRM notifications. Meeting invites. Cold email responses. Customer questions. Internal discussions. Marketing newsletters. All mixed together in one endless scroll.
You know what happens next. You're crafting a thoughtful response to a prospect when a Slack notification pops up. You switch over. Then an email about an urgent contract comes in. You jump to that. Thirty minutes later, you've forgotten about the original prospect. They buy from your competitor who responded first.

The splits that close more deals:
Salesforce, HubSpot, and CRM splits keep deal updates front and center. See opportunity changes, lead scores, and pipeline movements without leaving your inbox.
The Pitches split isolates all your outreach conversations. No more losing interested prospects in the daily email flood.
Document Signing splits for DocuSign, PandaDoc, and similar tools ensure contracts never sit unsigned. Every signature request gets its own dedicated space.
Collaboration splits for Google Docs, Notion, and Slack bring important mentions and document shares to the surface. Know when deals need your input.
Creating your perfect setup:
Beyond the library, build splits that match your exact process:
- A "Hot Prospects" split for emails from target account domains
- A "Renewal Risk" split for expiring contracts
- A "Competition Intel" split for market intelligence
Mix and match. Add new ones as your process evolves. Remove what doesn't work. Your inbox adapts to you.

Write the prompt. Add sender rules if needed. Pick a color. Your entire email history gets tagged retroactively.
Real workflows that drive revenue
The morning revenue sweep:
