The Problem

Sound Familiar?

Every growing service business hits these walls. We hit them too — and built our way out.

📋

Leads Everywhere, Control Nowhere

Assessment submissions, website inquiries, referrals, consultation requests — all scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and sticky notes.

We were losing 20%+ of leads through the cracks

Hours Wasted on Manual Tasks

Qualifying each lead took 30+ minutes. Writing proposals took 2-3 hours. Follow-up tracking? Pure guesswork.

15+ hours/week burned on tasks AI could handle

💸

Generic CRMs Don't Fit

HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive — they're either too complex, too expensive, or too generic. None handle AI assessment workflows.

$300-500/mo for features we didn't need

What We Built & Why

Every feature exists because we had a real problem to solve. No bloat, no fluff — just tools that earn their keep every day.

  • Industry-specific questioning — adapts to construction, manufacturing, logistics, real estate, wholesale
  • Instant AI-generated reports — shareable via unique public URL, no login required
  • Auto lead scoring — Hot/Warm/Cold based on budget, company size, and urgency signals
  • 500+ assessments generated — each one a potential client relationship

📊 CRM & Pipeline Management

Every Lead Tracked. Every Deal Visible.

A drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with 6 stages (New → Contacted → In Progress → Qualified → Closed Won / Lost), card and table views, bulk actions, advanced search, and real-time status updates.

  • Universal search — find any lead by company, email, industry, or status instantly
  • Lead scoring with points — dynamic prioritization based on engagement, budget, and fit
  • Activity logging — calls, emails, meetings, status changes, proposals — all tracked automatically
  • Bulk operations — clean up incomplete leads, mass-update statuses, export data
📝 AI Proposal System

Two Proposal Engines. One Click.

We built two distinct proposal systems: a traditional AI proposal generator for quick turnarounds, and an interactive proposal builder where clients can check/uncheck features, ask questions inline, and collaborate in real-time.

  • AI-generated content — pulls from lead assessment data, company research, and industry templates
  • Interactive proposals — clients toggle features on/off, ask questions, see scope changes in real-time
  • View tracking — know exactly when a client opens your proposal and how long they spend on it
  • Client-branded experience — custom colors, logos, and shareable public URLs

  • Dedicated Landing Pages

    /carolinas page + 6 industry-specific service pages targeting regional searches

  • Rich Schema Markup

    LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, BreadcrumbList, and Article schemas — all auto-generated per page
