Contractor CRM Systems That Actually Book You More Jobs (Not Just Store Contacts)

Stop Using a CRM That’s Just a Glorified Address Book

Let’s cut to the chase.

Most CRMs in the contractor space are bloated, confusing, or just…useless. You log in, see a bunch of contact names, maybe a checkbox or two, and wonder:

“How the heck is this supposed to help me make more money?”

If your CRM isn’t helping you close jobs, you’re not using a real CRM — you’re using a spreadsheet with a fancy interface.


What a Real Contractor CRM Should Do

You don’t need Salesforce. You need a simple system that does one thing well:
👉 Turn leads into booked jobs — automatically.

Here’s what a real contractor CRM should include:

🔧 Must-Have Features:

  • Lead capture from forms, social, ads, and website

  • Automated follow-up via text and email

  • Quote approvals and service reminders

  • Two-way texting in one central inbox

  • Appointment booking and calendar sync

  • Visual pipeline to track every lead

  • AI follow-up with missed calls and web chats

If yours can’t do at least 5 of those things, it’s outdated. Period.


Why Contractors Struggle with Lead Follow-Up

Let’s be real — between job sites, estimates, and supply runs, no one has time to follow up on leads fast enough.

That’s the #1 revenue killer.
Studies show that:

  • 78% of home service leads hire the first company to respond.

  • Following up within 5 minutes boosts conversion by 400%.

But if you're doing everything manually…good luck.


Legacy Realm's CRM: Built for Contractors. Designed to Close.

At Legacy Realm, we got tired of seeing contractors stuck with systems made for tech startups — not for guys in work boots and trucks.

So we built something different:
A done-for-you CRM that does the talking, texting, quoting, and scheduling — without you having to lift a finger.

💼 What’s Included:

  • Preloaded automation for lead nurture

  • AI chatbot and missed-call text-back

  • Form-to-calendar booking system

  • Call tracking and voicemail drops

  • Social DMs routed into one inbox

  • Mobile app to manage it all on the go

  • And yeah — you keep your number.

Whether you're solo or running a team of 12, we tailor it for your workflow.


Real Example: From Missed Leads to $30K in 30 Days

Let’s talk numbers.

Carlos, a remodeling contractor in Texas, had a Yellow Pages-level site and used no CRM.

We built his:
✅ Smart website
✅ Automated CRM
✅ Follow-up sequences

He booked $30,000 in projects in 30 days — not by buying more leads, but by finally converting the ones he already had.


The Bottom Line: You Don’t Need More Leads — You Need Better Follow-Up

Chasing leads is exhausting. Missing leads is expensive.
Our CRM solves both.

It doesn't just track contacts. It works them — automatically.
