How To Set Up A CRM For Your Trade Business

If your leads live scattered across your phone, inbox, and a notepad in the van, jobs are slipping through the cracks. This quick video walks you through five simple steps to set up a CRM that catches every lead.

Most jobs aren’t lost, they’re forgotten.

The quick rundown

  • Keep one single home for every lead, quote, and follow up, even a shared spreadsheet works to start.
  • Wire your web form and phone number straight into the CRM since calls consistently match or beat forms for bookings.
  • Use simple stages, new lead, quoted, won, lost, so you can spot cold quotes at a glance.
  • Set follow up reminders two days after every quote, this single habit wins back more work than any ad.
  • Check it every morning with your coffee, a CRM only works if you actually open it.
