Enquiries arrive in five places. They should live in one.
Calls on one phone, Instagram on another, the website form in an inbox. A CRM is not software you have to feed; it is what stops enquiries disappearing in between.
Every channel lands in the same pipeline, thread attached, last touch recorded. Example data.
The worked example

A worked example, not a client record: one kitchen renovation, followed stage by stage.

The build spec
What lives in the one place
Your account, your data, your list. If you ever leave, it all goes with you.
Every channel
One inbox for phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, email and web forms
Your pipeline
A pipeline that matches how you actually work, not a template
Follow-up
Follow-up sequences that run without anyone remembering to
Bookings
Booking, staged reminders, and one-tap reschedule to cut no-shows
Quotes and reviews
Quote chasing and review requests handled automatically
Reporting
Reporting that shows where enquiries stall
Timeline
Live in one to two weeks. Most of that is mapping how you work.
We will not migrate you off a system that already works. If your current setup is fine, we will tell you and fix the gap instead.
How it goes in
01
Step 1: Map how you actually work
Most of the setup time is this conversation: your stages, your rules, what should chase and what should wait for you.
02
Step 2: Wire every channel in
Phone, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, email and the website form, all landing in one inbox with the thread attached.
03
Step 3: Live in one to two weeks
Follow-up sequences on, reminders staged, and the first fortnight watched so the automation matches reality.
What it costs
No price list, and that is deliberate. Every number we give is fixed against a written scope, so the honest version of this section is what the number depends on.
CRM setup
Fixed setup, quoted on scope
Live in one to two weeks. Most of that is mapping how you work.
What moves the number:
How many channels need wiring in
How much history has to be migrated
Which sequences we build: follow-up, no-shows, quotes, reviews
If the answer lives across four apps and someone's memory, that is the leak. Twenty minutes with Ali Ishtiaq maps where yours stall. If your setup is fine, we will say so.
