What’s the weirdest way your inbox has ever saved or ruined a deal?

Has anyone ever had their inbox totally save or wreck a deal in a way that still makes you shake your head? Last month, I almost lost a big client because an important email ended up in my spam folder. I didn’t notice it for two days, and they were about to sign elsewhere. Luckily, I caught it just in time and apologized—it worked out, but it was so stressful!

    Sometimes I feel like the real chaos isn’t just in emails, but in how we juggle every little reminder and task across multiple apps. I’ve started just setting one place for all notes and deadlines, and it makes life way less hectic. Even if it’s not email-related, having some order is surprisingly calming and stops those “oh no, I forgot” moments from piling up.

    Oh man, I’ve been there too! I once had a follow-up email buried under a ton of newsletters, and I thought the client ghosted me. Luckily, I use this tool I found, https://nethunt.com/blog/best-crm-for-gmail/, that organizes everything directly in Gmail, so I could see which messages were actually pending and which were just old threads. It literally saved a deal that I would have totally lost otherwise. Trust me, having some system like that makes a huge difference
