Service 02 · Marketing automation & CRM

Turn enquiries into opportunities — automatically.

You're already generating interest. The leak is what happens next. We build the system that captures every lead, follows up without being asked, and shows you exactly what's working.

Where the leads go.

Most SMEs don't have a lead generation problem. They have a lead handling problem — and it's invisible until you measure it.

  • 01Enquiries sit in inboxes, spreadsheets and someone's memory.
  • 02Follow-up depends on whoever remembers — so good leads go cold.
  • 03No visibility of your pipeline, or which marketing actually pays.
  • 04The platforms that could fix it cost more than the problem.

02 / Your guide

Right tool for the job. Nothing more.

We've implemented enterprise marketing platforms and we've built lean systems for five-person teams. We know exactly which features earn their money and which are sold to you as future insurance.

No forced upgrades. No lock-ins. What we quote is what you pay, and you own the data.

How we build it.

01

Map how you sell

We document your real sales process — stages, owners, timings and the decisions in between. The system follows your process, not a SaaS template.

02

Capture everything

Website forms, calls, chat and email all land in one place with the source attached, so nothing is lost and attribution is honest.

03

Automate the follow-up

Instant acknowledgements, nurture sequences, task reminders and internal alerts — built once, running quietly forever.

04

Report on what matters

A simple dashboard showing enquiries, pipeline value and conversion by source. Decisions from evidence, not gut feel.

Life with a working system.

  • → 01Every enquiry captured and followed up
  • → 02A pipeline you can see at a glance
  • → 03Hours a week back from manual admin
  • → 04Clear evidence of what marketing actually works

Do nothing and the cost is invisible but real: enquiries you paid for, quietly going to whoever replied first.

The questions you're asking.

Which CRM do you use?

Whichever is genuinely right for you — commonly HubSpot, Pipedrive or an open-source stack we configure. We're not a reseller, so we have no incentive to push you onto the most expensive licence.

What does it cost?

Implementation typically runs £4k–£15k depending on the number of processes and integrations. Licence costs sit separately with the platform, and we always show you the cheapest tier that does the job.

How long before it's live?

A focused first phase — capture, pipeline and core automations — is usually live in 3–6 weeks. We deliberately launch something useful early, then extend it.

Will it integrate with our website and accounts system?

Yes. Forms, quoting, invoicing, email and calendars are the usual suspects. If a system has an API we can connect it; if it doesn't, we'll tell you plainly.

Isn't automation impersonal?

Badly done, yes. Done properly it buys back the time to be more personal — the machine handles reminders, chasing and admin so your team can have the actual conversation.

Do we need a new website first?

Not always. If your site already converts, we start with the CRM. If it doesn't, fixing the front door first usually gets a faster return — and we'll say which applies to you.
