CRM setup

A CRM your team will actually keep using.

A CRM only helps if it is set up around the way you already sell. This service configures one agreed platform with a basic pipeline, contact and company records, and simple lead source fields — then hands it over in writing, so inquiries stop living in someone’s inbox.

  • From $499 setup
  • Remote delivery across the United States
Scope

What the setup includes

Delivered as part of an agreed scope, confirmed in writing before work begins.

  • One agreed CRM platform (for example HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Zoho)
  • A basic deal pipeline with stages defined with you
  • Contact and company records
  • Simple lead source fields
  • One basic form or inbox integration where the platform supports it
  • A written handover so you can run it yourself
Overview

What you actually receive

One agreed platform, not a shopping list

You choose a platform you are comfortable paying for; the setup makes it reflect how you actually sell.

A pipeline that matches your process

Deal stages are defined with you, so the pipeline describes your real steps rather than a generic template.

Leads captured, not lost

Where the platform supports it, one form or inbox is connected so new inquiries become records automatically.

A handover you can follow

You receive a short written guide to the pipeline, the fields, and what happens next, so you are not locked in.

Business use cases

What a CRM setup can connect

These are the workflows a basic CRM setup can usually be configured to support, using accounts you already own. Each is a capability, not an existing connection.

Website form submitted A contact and deal is created in the CRM
New inquiry arrives A notification reaches email, Slack, or a phone
Inquiry needs qualifying It is routed to the right person or pipeline stage
Quote sent A follow-up reminder is raised automatically
Customer books work The deal stage moves and the record is updated
Invoice or payment status changes A notification is issued from the existing system

Capabilities, not existing connections

  • Each use case is a capability that can usually be configured — not a claim that it is already connected for your business.
  • Whether a specific integration is possible depends on your CRM plan, your other accounts, and the platform’s own limits.
  • WhatsApp Business, Messenger and Instagram inbox routing are only used where the platform permits it and where you authorise it.
A good fit

When a CRM earns its keep

  • You track inquiries in email or a spreadsheet and lose sight of follow-ups
  • More than one person needs to see the same pipeline
  • Quotes are sent but not always followed up on time
  • You want a lead source recorded so you can see where work comes from
Not included

What needs a separate quote

  • CRM licences and subscription costs — paid directly by you to the platform
  • Migrating an existing database (separate scope)
  • Complex automations, custom reporting, or bespoke CRM development
  • Any promise of more sales from having a CRM

Website and CRM together

A website and a CRM setup work well together, and are often bought at the same time. They are still two separate services: combining them does not put both complete services inside one $499 package. A combined scope is quoted in writing as its own price.

Process

How a project runs

The same process applies to every engagement, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

STEP 01

Request and written scope

You describe the business, the customers, and the outcome you need. You receive a written scope: what will be built, what it costs, what is explicitly not included, and the schedule.

STEP 02

Agreement and terms

Scope, revision rounds, milestones, payment terms, third-party costs, and ownership are confirmed in writing before any work starts.

STEP 03

Design and structure approval

Architecture and visual direction are reviewed and approved before development starts, so changes are cheap at this stage.

STEP 04

Build and review

The site, automation, or application is built on a staging environment you can review at any time, with progress updates at agreed milestones.

STEP 05

Launch and handover

Deployment, redirects, metadata, forms, and delivery checks are completed, then you receive access, documentation, and optional support.

Questions

Common questions

Which CRM platform do you set up?

One agreed platform. Common choices are HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho, but the platform is chosen with you based on your budget and how you work. Licences are paid directly by you to the provider.

Will you move my existing contacts?

Basic setup starts with the agreed platform, a pipeline, contact and company records, and lead source fields. Migrating an existing database is a separate scope and is quoted in writing once the source data is understood.

Is the CRM licence included?

No. Licences and subscription costs are paid directly by you to the CRM provider. The $499 starting price covers the setup work, not the platform subscription.

Does this include automation?

One basic form or inbox connection is included where the platform supports it. More involved workflows are handled as a separate Business Automation engagement.
