You found out they were playing your city the week after the show. The three times you did get in early, you DM'd the artist's Instagram, got read by an intern, and never followed up, because there was nowhere to write down that you had tried.
Three failures, in the order they bite. You don't know who to email, so you message the artist. You send once, hear nothing, and forget. And you can't recall who you pitched, when, or what they said.
None of that's a talent problem. It's a memory problem, and a spreadsheet with a script attached fixes it.

One paste captures a contact.
Copy a manager’s details from anywhere, a booking database, an agency page, an email signature, a link-in-bio, and paste the block into one cell. Name, email, phone, company and role are pulled out, the row fills in, and your directory learns that contact permanently. A blank doc makes you retype it every time.
-
It drafts. It never sends.
Every email lands in your Gmail drafts for you to read and change. There's no button anywhere that sends mail on your behalf. A mail-merge tool sends first and apologises afterwards.
-
The follow-up clock starts when you actually send.
Not when you wrote the draft. The sheet watches Gmail and notices. Follow-ups go out as replies on the same thread, three stages deep, and the sequence stops the moment someone answers.
-
It won't let you email the same manager twice.
It refuses to re-draft a row that already went out, warns when one contact is about to get several emails from a single batch, and can merge nearby dates into one email, "Austin & Dallas, TX on July 3 & July 5", instead of three near-identical pitches to the same person.
