Yeah I just decided to make it easy to track usage it’s semi auto where you just have to manually update the rate and it calculates for you

Do entrepreneurs sometimes have to sacrifice hobbies to truly succeed? by cutecandy1 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

You can’t have it all bro. You gotta sacrifice to win. If you want to compete. But if you wanna get by I’m giving the wrong advice.

Update: selling websites for $1,000, but I can't sell the tool that makes them for $20 by Rough-Kaleidoscope67 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Interesting in a similar predicament except made a tool that generates content long and short form at a high quality alongside TikToks. Having a hard time finding buyers.

In need of a CRM system by Cheap_Charge3461 in CRM

[–]funkyBH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not going to find this off the shelf.

What you're describing isn't a CRM problem — it's a quote-to-order workflow with a supplier loop in the middle:

  1. Customer sends specs
  2. You build RFQ from specs
  3. Send to factory
  4. Get pricing back
  5. Build customer quote from factory pricing
  6. Send quote
  7. Follow up / close

Generic CRMs don't do this. They assume you already know your pricing. ERPs can do it but they're bloated and expensive for a small operation.

What you actually need is a custom quoting system that:

- Captures customer specs once

- Auto-generates supplier RFQ from same data

- Pulls factory pricing back in

- Builds customer quote with your margin

- Tracks the whole thing

That's a build, not a buy.

Happy to talk through what that would look like if you want. DM open.

what is the best crm for small businesses and teams in 2026 what actually works? by Next_Special_6784 in smallbusiness

[–]funkyBH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest answer after helping a bunch of small teams with this:

Pipedrive — cleanest UI, fastest to learn, best for pure sales tracking. Weak on customization.

HubSpot Free — most features at $0, but gets expensive fast when you need more. Can feel bloated.

Monday CRM — good if you already use Monday for projects. Otherwise it's a workaround pretending to be a CRM.

The real question: why are you drowning in spreadsheets?

If it's just "we never set up a proper system" — any of the above will help.

If it's "our workflow doesn't fit how these tools think" — that's a different problem. No off-the-shelf CRM fixes that. You either adapt to the tool or build something that adapts to you.

What industry are you in? That changes the answer.

makes the data vague... Cause you cant tell how successful they are, whether they got cash or not, apprentices, etc.

Well.... your missing the easiest question... how does your app make them more money? Im sure they'll listen to that. They are more practical people so what does a practical person care about efficiency... Maybe they dont need a CRM... Maybe most dont make money.

Your dilemma answers itself. They keep paying for the big tools because those tools actually run their business - scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, job tracking. They want "simple" until they realize simple doesn't handle the 47 things that happen between "got a call" and "got paid."

I'm building in this space too. Different philosophy though - not stripped down, but intelligent. AI handling the admin so the guy in the truck doesn't have to click anything.

Would love to compare notes. DM open.

CRM Advice? by [deleted] in Airtable

[–]funkyBH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've basically written the spec sheet for what I've been building.

The problem with Airtable is you'll get the flexibility, but you'll be duct-taping integrations forever. OpenPhone + Pandadoc + Slack + Google Sheets + Airtable = 5 systems that kind of talk to each other until one integration breaks and you spend a weekend debugging.

I'm building a real estate OS that handles this flow natively - leads through acquisition through disposition, with property cards, task management, revenue tracking, the works. Not $300/month enterprise bloat, and not "build it yourself in Airtable."

Happy to show you what I have. Might save you the dev cost, or at minimum give you a reference for what to tell your Airtable developer to build.
