Where I work
Six cities across three counties, all within an hour of my office in Fort Myers. Each one changes how a CRM should be set up, and the city pages say how.
Answered personally, usually the same day. If a CRM is not what you need, I will say so.
Fort MyersFort Myers businesses staff up for winter visitors and carry the team through a slow, hot summer, so the CRM has to hold two rhythms: the season when every missed call is money, and the off-season when the follow-up sequences do the selling.NaplesA Naples client base is partly absent for half the year, so the most important field in the whole CRM is whether a client is in residence, and the most valuable automation is the one that reaches them in October before they fly back.Cape CoralCape Coral is trades country, hundreds of miles of canal frontage and single-family homes, and the owner answering the phone is usually on a job, so the CRM has to work from a truck: a missed call texts back by itself and a quote goes out from a phone, not a desk.Bonita SpringsA Bonita Springs business sells north into Lee County and south into Collier, to two customers with different budgets and expectations, so every lead in the CRM needs a county on it or the reports average two businesses into one.EsteroMost Estero businesses are younger than the village's big retail centres, which means they arrived with five subscriptions and no process, and the CRM job here is usually consolidation: one system replacing a scheduling app, a mailing tool, a form builder and a spreadsheet.Punta GordaPunta Gorda owners are often closer to selling the business than starting it, and a buyer pays for a sales process that runs without the founder, so the CRM here is built as documentation: every stage, field and follow-up rule written so an outsider can read how the business sells.
Tell me what is in the way.
One form. Read by the person who would do the work. If a CRM is not the answer, you will hear that first.
