CRM and lead tracking for Wakefield businesses
Most small businesses in Wakefield do not have a marketing problem; they have a follow-up problem. Enquiries arrive through the website, phone, email, Facebook and Google, then get scattered across inboxes and notebooks. Some are answered quickly, some wait days and a few are never answered at all. A CRM fixes that by putting every lead in one place, reminding the right person to act and showing exactly where your best work comes from.
We set up and manage CRM systems for businesses across Wakefield and Yorkshire, connected directly to the websites and marketing campaigns we run. That means you are not handed a piece of software and left to work it out. We build the pipeline around how your team already sells.
How enquiries flow into your CRM
Every route a customer uses to contact you can feed the same system:
- Website forms and quote tools: each submission creates a contact and a deal with the page and campaign it came from.
- Phone calls: tracked numbers on your website and ads log calls against the right source.
- Google Ads and social adverts: lead forms and landing pages pass campaign details through automatically.
- Email and messages: enquiries from your inbox, Facebook and Instagram can be captured in the same pipeline.
- Bookings: appointment and event bookings appear alongside every other lead.
Once a lead is in the system, it moves through clear stages, such as new enquiry, contacted, quote sent and won, so everyone can see what is happening and nothing slips through the cracks.
Follow-up automations that save time
Speed matters. A customer who gets a reply within minutes is far more likely to book than one who hears back next week. We set up automations that do the routine work for you:
- An instant acknowledgement email or text when someone enquires.
- Notifications to the right team member, wherever they are working.
- Reminders when a quote has gone quiet for a few days.
- Gentle follow-up emails that answer common questions and keep you front of mind.
- Review requests once a job is finished, helping your Google Business Profile grow.
These sequences are written in your voice and can be paused or changed at any time.
Reporting that connects marketing to revenue
When your CRM is joined to your website and marketing, reporting becomes far more useful. Instead of looking only at clicks and visits, you can see which channels produce enquiries, which enquiries turn into quotes and which quotes turn into paid work. That lets you put more budget behind what works and stop spending on what does not. Our digital marketing team uses this data every month to adjust campaigns.
A CRM built for small businesses in Yorkshire
Many CRM systems are designed for large sales teams and come with features most small businesses will never use. We keep the setup simple: a clear pipeline, the fields your team needs and automations that remove admin rather than add it. Training is included, so your staff feel confident from day one, and we remain on hand for changes as your business grows.
CRM projects are priced to scope, depending on the number of users, integrations and automations involved. We start with a short session to map how enquiries currently arrive and where they get lost, then recommend the simplest setup that will fix it.
What a typical CRM setup includes
Every business is different, but most of our CRM projects cover the same core pieces of work:
- Discovery: a walk-through of how enquiries arrive today, who handles them and where they tend to stall.
- Pipeline design: stages, fields and tags that match your sales process, whether you quote for jobs, take bookings or sell to trade accounts.
- Integrations: website forms, call tracking, ad platforms and email connected so data flows in without retyping.
- Automations: acknowledgements, reminders, follow-ups and review requests written and tested.
- Dashboards: simple views showing new leads, open quotes and won work by source.
- Training and support: a session for your team, short how-to notes and ongoing help when you need changes.
For a trades firm, that might mean a pipeline of enquiry, site visit, quote and booked job, with a text reminder before each visit. For a manufacturer, it might mean tracking trade account enquiries over several months, with tasks for the sales team at each stage. For a venue, it could mean linking bookings, deposits and follow-up emails after each event. The aim in every case is the same: fewer missed opportunities and less time spent chasing paperwork.
Part of a joined-up approach
Because we also design websites and run marketing from our base at Tileyard North in Wakefield, your CRM is planned alongside everything else. Forms, tracking and campaigns are built to feed it from the start, rather than bolted on later. If you already have a website you are happy with, we can connect it to a new CRM without starting again.

CRM questions from Wakefield businesses
We already use spreadsheets. Is a CRM worth the change?
If enquiries are being missed or follow-ups depend on someone remembering, a CRM usually pays for itself quickly. We can import your existing spreadsheet so you start with your current contacts and history in place.
Can the CRM work on our phones?
Yes. Your team can view leads, update deals and receive notifications from a mobile app, which suits trades and site-based staff who are rarely at a desk.
Can you connect the CRM to our accounts software?
Often, yes. Depending on the systems you use, won deals and customer details can pass into your accounts or job management software. We will check compatibility during the initial session.
What happens to our data if we stop working with you?
The CRM account and all its data belong to you. We set it up in your business name and make sure you have full access at all times.
