I Didn’t Set Out to Build a SaaS. I Set Out to Remove Chaos From My Business.

For a long time, I thought my biggest leverage would come from doing more.

More outreach.
More content.
More tools.
More campaigns.
More dashboards.
More SOPs.

And on the surface, things looked good.

Outbound was working.
Appointments were coming in consistently.
Clients were happy with the results.

But internally?

The business felt heavier every month.

Not because growth was hard —
But because clarity was missing.

The Invisible Problem Most Agencies Don’t Talk About

If you run an agency, consultancy, or freelance business, this will sound familiar:

You can tell a client what you’re doing.
But you struggle to show why it’s working — or why it isn’t.

Campaigns are spread across:

  • Email tools

  • LinkedIn tools

  • CRMs

  • Google Sheets

  • Slack threads

  • Notion docs

  • “In your head”

Every review call requires:

  • Manual prep

  • Reconstructing context

  • Guessing what changed

  • Explaining results instead of analyzing them

And the most dangerous part?

Decisions start getting made based on:

  • Memory

  • Gut feel

  • Incomplete reports

  • Lagging indicators

That’s when scale becomes fragile.

Why “More Tools” Was Never the Answer

At one point, we were using:

  • Multiple outbound tools

  • Multiple CRMs

  • Multiple reporting dashboards

  • Multiple internal trackers

Yet every time something broke, the question was always the same:

“Where exactly did this campaign fail?”

Was it:

  • ICP?

  • Signals?

  • Copy?

  • Deliverability?

  • Follow-ups?

  • Timing?

  • Offer clarity?

The data technically existed —
But it wasn’t connected.

That’s when I realized something uncomfortable:

We didn’t have an execution problem.
We had a campaign visibility problem.

The Question That Changed Everything

One day, I asked myself a simple but brutal question:

“If I stepped away from this business for 30 days, would someone else understand why our campaigns are built the way they are?”

The honest answer was no.

Not because the team wasn’t good —
But because the system lived in my head.

That’s not scalable.
That’s not sellable.
That’s not safe.

So instead of hiring more people or adding more tools, I decided to build something internal first.

The Original Goal Was Not a Product

Campaign Flow Pro did not start as a SaaS idea.

It started as an internal operating system.

A place where:

  • Every campaign has a reason to exist

  • Every experiment is documented

  • Every channel rolls into one narrative

  • Every result creates learning

  • Every client campaign is easy to review, improve, and explain

I wanted something that answered, at a glance:

  • What’s live?

  • What’s working?

  • What’s not?

  • Why?

  • What do we change next?

Not vanity metrics.
Not surface-level stats.

Decision-ready clarity.

How I Approached Building It (This Matters)

I didn’t start with features.

I started with constraints.

Constraint #1: It must reduce cognitive load

If it adds work, it’s useless.

Constraint #2: It must mirror how campaigns actually run

Not how tools want you to work.

Constraint #3: It must help make better decisions, not prettier reports

Only after that did I think about tech.

The Actual Build Process (No Dev Team)

Here’s the real process I followed.

Step 1: Define the campaign lifecycle

Signals → ICP → Targeting → Execution → Follow-ups → Conversion → Reporting → Learning

Every campaign must move through these stages clearly.

Step 2: Decide what must be visible

If it doesn’t influence a decision, it doesn’t belong.

Examples:

  • Why this ICP?

  • Why this message?

  • What hypothesis are we testing?

  • What signal triggered this outreach?

  • What KPI defines success?

Step 3: Use AI as a systems accelerator

I used Bolt, Supabase, and structured prompts to:

  • Design schemas

  • Create relationships

  • Build UI flows

  • Handle auth

  • Iterate fast without overengineering

Important distinction:
AI didn’t decide anything.

It helped me build faster around clear thinking.

Step 4: Break things and rebuild properly

Yes — I even lost my Supabase project at one point due to inactivity.

Annoying? Yes.
Useful? Absolutely.

It forced a cleaner rebuild:

  • Better table design

  • Tighter logic

  • Fewer assumptions

  • More resilience

That’s when Campaign Flow Pro stopped being “an internal tool” and started feeling like a product.

The Prompts That Made This Possible (You Can Use These)

Here are some high-leverage prompts I used. Feel free to steal them.

Campaign System Architecture Prompt

Act as a senior GTM systems architect. Design a campaign operating system for agencies running multichannel outbound. The system must track intent signals, ICP logic, campaign hypotheses, execution status, KPIs, reporting, and learning loops. Output database tables, relationships, and UI sections.

MVP Scope Prompt

Act as a product manager. Define the smallest usable version of a campaign management system that improves clarity, reporting, and decision-making. Remove anything that doesn’t directly impact campaign optimization.

Reporting Intelligence Prompt

Act as a RevOps leader. Define reporting metrics that go beyond opens and replies. Focus on pipeline quality, conversion efficiency, signal effectiveness, and scale readiness.

If you only change how you think using these prompts, you’ll already be ahead.

How We’re Using Campaign Flow Pro at Six Figure Consulting

Campaign Flow Pro is now the internal backbone of SFC.

That means:

  • Every client campaign lives inside it

  • Every experiment is documented

  • Every report is standardized

  • Every review call is structured

  • Every optimization has context

No more scrambling.
No more “let me check.”
No more reactive explanations.

Important Update

All existing and new SFC clients automatically get access to Campaign Flow Pro.

We’re using it to:

  • Organize campaigns in-house

  • Manage execution across channels

  • Track performance consistently

  • Build a long-term reporting layer

This is not a bonus feature.

It’s how we plan to operate moving forward.

This tool was built for you.
