Lead routing before I have a niche — what’s the first move?

Discussion

Purpose
The exchange should surface the first concrete routing step for a solo training business that doesn’t have a clear niche yet.

I keep missing enquiries because they land in my personal inbox between client calls and lesson prep. I’m a language tutor with retainer contracts in professional education, scaling but still no clear niche, so every enquiry asks for something different. I know I need lead routing, not a CRM. What’s the first move that isn’t another spreadsheet?

    I wouldn’t route anything until the niche is clear. You’ll just build a filing system for chaos.
