A CRM That Fills Itself From Every Conversation
A CRM that fills itself from every touchpoint. Leads, contacts and companies, a pipeline you can shape, and one timeline per person.
One workspace, every record type
The CRM opens on a Dashboard and gives you tabs for Calendar, Pipeline, Leads, Contacts, Companies, Notes and Reminders, and Settings. Leads are people you are still qualifying. Contacts are people you know. Companies group both.
- Convert a lead to a contact when you decide, not automatically
- Search across all record types from one box
- Archived and Deleted tabs keep removed records recoverable
- Shared Leads lets you show a lead to chosen teammates
A pipeline you shape
Define the stages that match how you sell and drag each card forward. Every move is recorded on the timeline. Each stage loads 100 cards at a time with a Load more button, so large pipelines stay fast.
- Rename, add and reorder stages in CRM Settings
- Add a value to a lead and see stage totals
- Start from a pipeline template instead of a blank board
- Bulk remove several cards at once
Everything about a person on one timeline
Open any lead or contact and see what actually happened: meeting booked, rescheduled or cancelled, email opened, link clicked, video watched, form answers, notes, calls and texts. A lead's custom fields, labels, source and attachments sit beside it.
- Booking history with full meeting detail
- Tracked link clicks and video engagement on the person
- Facebook Page comments and reactions as activity
- MySites the person viewed, in the same panel
Activities that keep deals moving
Schedule a call, email, meeting, task or travel from the record. Each activity shows on the CRM Calendar, which also shows booked meetings and your connected Google, Microsoft or Apple calendar events. Mark one complete and it lands in the person's history.
- Pending activities list so nothing goes stale
- Meeting reminders sent ahead of the start time
- Notes and Reminders with search
- Vutesa drafts a follow-up from the person's history for you to review
Bring data in and keep it clean
Import leads and contacts from CSV or XLSX with a column-mapping step and an example file. Labels map to leads and tags to contacts. When duplicates appear, merge two or more records: you pick the primary, and references and history carry over so nothing is lost.
- Imports create leads only unless you choose to create contacts too
- Add your own lead fields and show them as columns
- Optional GoHighLevel connection in CRM Settings
- Export contacts to a complete file, not just the loaded page
Relationships and personality
Record who referred whom and see the connections on a relationship map. Personality profiling gives you a saved profile per person with guidance on how to communicate, which you can download as text, DOCX or PDF.
- Referred By keeps private, directional links in sync
- Profiles are saved to the lead or contact
- Opt-out status is respected by email and SMS
Built for teams
Each member works their own leads and contacts inside the company system. Owners see across the team within their permissions, and Shared Leads controls who else can see a given lead. Plans: Free Company 5,000, Pro Company 100,000 contacts.
- Company owners and team leaders see the downline
- Per-person sharing, limited by Team settings
- Same rules for every member

Free holds 5,000, Starter 25,000, Deluxe 50,000 and Pro 100,000. Free Company holds 5,000 and Pro Company 100,000.
Do Bio/Profile Page interactions reach the CRM automatically?
Yes. Bookings, Contact Me submissions, event registrations and tracked link clicks create or update a lead or contact with the source recorded.
Can I import my existing list?
Yes. Upload a CSV or XLSX file, map each column to a field or label, review the preview and import. Leads are created, and contacts only if you choose.
What happens when I delete a record?
Removed records go to Archived or Deleted first, so you can review and restore them before anything is gone for good.
Can each team member have their own pipeline?
Each member works their own leads and contacts inside the company's shared system, while owners keep visibility within their permissions.
Does the CRM respect opt-outs?
Yes. Contacts who unsubscribe from email or reply STOP to a text are flagged, and sends skip them.
