Why build a CRM
Off-the-shelf CRMs did not match how the lead-generation team actually works: research a company, find contacts, verify emails, look up phones, and hand the result to a rep — with rules about who owns what and when.
Main features
- Companies & contacts — add, edit, search, import from spreadsheets, export.
- Weekly ownership lock — a company taken this week is blocked for everyone else until the date moves on.
- Apollo.io integration — one-click contact enrichment and phone lookups, with a webhook that receives results and a review queue before numbers are saved.
- Data quality — email verification, an exclusion list, company flagging, and draft saving.
- Team features — user roles, presence indicator, notifications, and an activity log.
How it is run
Two branches: staging for all work, main for live. GitHub Actions deploys each to Hostinger. Database changes are applied as reviewed SQL migration files, and the project keeps a status document so any new session can pick up where the last one stopped.
