The best CRM for a small contracting business

Built for small crews. Priced for one truck.

FollowUpDesk is the CRM for small contractors who don't have time for a 6-hour setup or $200/month enterprise pricing. Track every lead, follow up on every quote, get more 5-star reviews — from your phone.

What contractor lead tracking software should actually do

One pipeline, one place

Every lead from Google, Facebook, referrals, and texts in a single 5-stage pipeline. Sort by overdue follow-up and start your day.

Speed beats price

First contractor to reply wins ~50% of the time. Auto-replies confirm receipt and book the call in under 60 seconds.

Follow-up on autopilot

4-touch cadence — day 3, 7, 14, 30 — runs without you remembering. The single biggest close-rate upgrade for a small contracting business.

Reviews that compound

Auto-text a Google review link the day after every job. More reviews = lower cost per lead, forever.

Why a CRM for small contractors isn't a HubSpot

Enterprise CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce assume a 5-person sales team, a 6-month sales cycle, and a $100K average deal. None of that matches how a small contractor actually works.

The best CRM for tradespeople is mobile-first, brutally simple, and priced for one truck. FollowUpDesk handles the three things that actually win bids: instant lead capture, automated quote follow-up, and post-job review requests. Everything else is noise.

"I'm a one-truck remodeler. Tried Jobber and HubSpot — both felt like a second job. FollowUpDesk took 10 minutes to set up and I closed 4 extra kitchens in the first quarter."
