CRM

Pipeline visibility that matches how your team actually sells.

Most CRM implementations get abandoned, and the reason is usually the same: it was built for how leadership wishes the team worked, not how they actually work. We start with the team, not the feature list.

CRM Implementation

> CRM / Labs

HubSpot, Salesforce, or custom - wired into everything else.

Operator take

The best CRM is the one your team opens in the morning

HubSpot and Salesforce can both be great or both be disasters. The deciding factor is implementation, not platform. We do implementation right - change management, training, integrations, reporting the exec actually reads.

Capabilities

The actual scope of work.

Not a services bingo card. This is what ships.

Platform selection

01

HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, or custom. Honest trade-offs.

Data architecture

02

Object model, property design, lifecycle stages, pipeline logic.

Integrations

03

Email, calendar, Slack, Intercom, QuickBooks, Shopify, Zapier, custom APIs.

Workflow automation

04

Lead scoring, sequences, routing, handoffs, SLA tracking.

Migration

05

From spreadsheets, legacy CRMs, or broken implementations. Clean + deduped.

Adoption

06

Training sessions, playbooks, weekly office hours for the first 60 days.

The build rhythm

Phases with clear exits.

You know what shipped, what changed, and what still needs work.

STEP 01

Discovery

Interview your sales, ops, and exec teams. Watch how work actually happens before we propose anything.

STEP 02

Design

Object model, pipeline logic, reporting schema, integration map. Documented before we build.

STEP 03

Configure + Integrate

Platform setup, workflow automation, data migration, third-party integrations - all tested against your real data.

STEP 04

Adopt

Team training, playbooks, weekly office hours for the first 60 days. The CRM only works if the team uses it.
