CRM Framework

My CRM Implementation Framework.

A repeatable, six-stage operator playbook I run on every CRM engagement — engineered to make lead management structured, automated and measurable.

Stage 01

Discovery

Stakeholder interviews, channel mapping, current-state diagnostic.

Stage 02

Process Mapping

Lead journey, ownership, hand-offs, and SLA expectations.

Stage 03

CRM Design

Pipelines, lifecycle stages, fields, permissions and reporting model.

Stage 04

Automation

Routing, follow-up sequences, alerts, escalations, stuck-deal recovery.

Stage 05

Integration

Website forms, chatbot, APIs, and downstream business systems.

Stage 06

Optimization

Adoption tracking, audits, leak analysis, and continuous improvement.

Framework

The Lead Management Framework

A six-stage lifecycle I apply to every CRM engagement.

  1. 01

    Lead Capture

    Unify intake across website forms, chatbots, paid campaigns, and inbound channels into one structured pipeline.

  2. 02

    Data Hygiene

    Standardize fields, deduplicate, and enrich incoming leads so every downstream automation runs on clean data.

  3. 03

    Lead Assignment

    Routing by territory, product, or intent — with ownership trails and escalation rules built in.

  4. 04

    Automation

    Triggered sequences, internal alerts, SLA timers, and re-assignment rules that keep leads moving without manual nudging.

  5. 05

    Follow-Up

    Templated cadences with automatic activity logging, so reps work a single prioritized task list.

  6. 06

    Reporting

    Closed-loop visibility across channels, stages, and reps for confident forecasting and reinvestment.
