Leads live in five different places
Some in the inbox, some in WhatsApp, some on a notepad, some in a spreadsheet. Nobody knows the real number of open opportunities.
In short
What does CRM setup and management include?
CRM setup and management means building the system that captures every lead, moves it through your sales process, and follows up automatically, then keeping that system running as your business changes. It is the difference between owning CRM software and actually getting sales out of it.
- Pipeline designstages that match how you really sell, so nothing sits in limbo
- Lead capturewebsite forms, chat, ads, calls and referrals landing in one place with their source
- Email and SMS follow-upsequences that chase politely and stop the moment someone books
- Calendars and bookingself-serve scheduling with reminders that reduce no-shows
- Data migrationcontacts and history moved across, deduplicated and checked
- Reportingclear numbers on where leads come from and where they stall
- Ongoing managementcampaigns, changes and clean data handled for you
The problem
Most CRMs are expensive address books
Buying the software is the easy part. Nearly every business we meet has the same three problems.
Follow-up depends on memory
One or two messages, then everyone gets busy. Most sales are lost here, not at the pitch.
The CRM was set up once and abandoned
Half-built pipelines, automations nobody trusts, and a monthly bill for software the team avoids using.
What we set up
Your whole sales process, working on its own
GoHighLevel is our first recommendation, and we work just as happily in HubSpot, Keap, or ActiveCampaign.
Pipelines that match your sales
Stages built around how you actually sell, so you can see every open deal and what needs doing next.
Lead capture from everywhere
Website forms, chat, ads, calls, and referrals all landing in one place automatically, with the source recorded.
Email & SMS follow-up
Sequences that keep chasing politely until the lead replies or opts out, and stop the moment they book.
Calendars & booking
Self-serve booking with reminders that cut no-shows, wired straight into your pipeline.
Migration & clean-up
Moving from another CRM or a pile of spreadsheets, with duplicates cleaned and history preserved.
Ongoing management
We keep running it: new campaigns, tidy data, and changes as your process evolves.
Every lead captured
Follow-up without reminders
Fewer no-shows
One clear source of truth
Is this you?
Who this is for
If any of these sound familiar, the CRM is costing you more than it earns.
Leads in too many places
Some in an inbox, some in WhatsApp, some on paper. Nobody knows the real pipeline.
A CRM nobody uses
It was set up once, half-finished, and the team quietly went back to spreadsheets.
Spending on ads
Paying for leads that then wait days for a first reply.
Growing past memory
Follow-up still depends on someone remembering, and it is starting to break.
Examples
What it looks like in practice
What changes in practice.
Every lead in one pipeline
Forms, calls, chat and referrals all arrive in the same place, tagged by source, so you can finally see which marketing actually works.
Follow-up that never forgets
A new enquiry gets an instant reply, then a sequence over the following days, stopping automatically as soon as they book or reply.
Fewer no-shows
Booking links, confirmations and reminders run themselves, so your calendar reflects reality.
How it works
From scattered leads to one pipeline
Three steps, and we handle the technical part.
Audit your leads and data
We find every place leads currently land, check the state of your existing data, and map how you actually sell.
Build the pipeline and follow-up
Stages, lead capture, email and SMS sequences, calendars and reminders, built and tested with your team.
Migrate, train, then manage
Existing contacts moved and deduplicated, your team trained, and ongoing management if you want it.
Typical timeline: a working pipeline with follow-up is usually live within days; full migrations take longer.
Tools & platforms
Platforms we work in
GoHighLevel is our lead recommendation for most small and growing businesses. We also work in HubSpot, Keap and ActiveCampaign, and connect any of them to the rest of your stack.
Straight answers
Which CRM is right for your business?
We set up and manage all four. This is how we choose between them.
| Platform | Best for | Main strength |
|---|---|---|
| GoHighLevel | Small and growing businesses that want everything in one place | Pipelines, funnels, calendars, email and SMS in a single system, which keeps cost and complexity down. Our usual recommendation. |
| HubSpot | Teams that need depth and plan to scale a sales function | Mature reporting and a large ecosystem, though costs rise as you add seats and hubs. |
| Keap | Small businesses with product or service sales to automate | Strong contact management and campaign automation for a small team. |
| ActiveCampaign | Businesses whose growth is mostly email-led | Excellent email automation and segmentation, with lighter sales pipeline features. |
Pricing
How much does CRM setup cost?
We quote per project after the free call, because a clean pipeline with follow-up is a different job from a full migration off another platform. Platform fees are paid by you directly to the CRM, so you keep ownership of the account and the data. Ongoing management is optional and priced separately, with no long lock-in contracts.

FAQ
CRM Setup & Management questions, answered
Which CRM should I use?
For most small and growing businesses we recommend GoHighLevel, because pipelines, funnels, calendars, email and SMS live in one place. If you already run HubSpot, Keap, or ActiveCampaign, we work in those too. We give you a straight recommendation on the free call rather than pushing one platform.
Do I have to move to GoHighLevel?
No. We are happy to improve the CRM you already pay for. We only suggest moving when the current setup is genuinely costing you leads or money.
Can you migrate our existing data?
Yes. We move contacts, deals, and history, remove duplicates, and check the data before anything goes live, so you do not lose your record of past customers.
Do you manage it afterwards, or just set it up?
Either. Some clients take over after handover and training, others keep us on for ongoing management: new campaigns, changes, clean data, and reporting.
How quickly can it be running?
A working pipeline with lead capture and follow-up is usually live within days. Deeper work such as migrations and multi-step campaigns follows once the basics are earning their keep.
