> CRM for window, door, kitchen, solar, heating and other installers - lead handling, survey bookings, quotes and follow-ups for high-volume enquiries.

Speed to lead wins installation work. The CRM should make every enquiry fast.

Installers pay for enquiries from their website, lead-generation sites, showrooms and local advertising, and the first business to get a surveyor in front of the homeowner usually wins. After the survey comes a quote, and then a follow-up that often never happens. CubeCRM captures every lead with its source, assigns it by postcode or product, books the survey, and tracks the quote through to a decision - with follow-ups scheduled automatically and the whole team able to see what is outstanding. The business can finally see which lead sources produce installations, and how quickly the team really responds.

## Figures

- **Minutes** From web lead to assigned surveyor
- **Every** Quote with a scheduled follow-up
- **Per install** Cost of each lead source

## Common problems in this sector

- **Leads from too many places:** Website, lead sites, showroom, social media and phone enquiries all arrive differently, and some are never logged at all.
- **Slow first response:** Homeowners contact several installers at once. Leads not called within the hour often book a survey with somebody else.
- **Quotes left hanging:** After the survey and quote, follow-up depends on the surveyor remembering. Many quotes go quiet with no outcome recorded.
- **Lead spend unmeasured:** Lead-generation sites charge per lead, and nobody can say which of them produce installations rather than tyre-kickers.
- **Past customers forgotten:** Customers who might want a second installation, a service or a referral are never contacted again.

## What CubeCRM does about it

- **Every lead captured:** Web forms, lead sites, email and phone enquiries in one queue with their source, logged automatically where possible.
- **Assigned by postcode:** Leads routed to the right surveyor or area team by postcode and product, with anything unanswered escalated.
- **Surveys booked and tracked:** Survey appointments recorded against the lead with outcomes and photographs, visible to the office.
- **Quotes and follow-ups:** Quotes built from your price list, with follow-ups scheduled automatically and online acceptance.
- **Cost per installation:** Lead source carried through to won work, so each lead site and advert can be judged on installations, not leads.
- **Past customers and referrals:** Service reminders, referral requests and follow-on offers to past customers, with consent recorded.

## Use cases

### The lead site that did not pay

**Scenario:** A double glazing company paid three lead-generation sites for enquiries. It assumed they performed similarly because lead volumes were similar.
**Outcome:** Tracking source through to installation showed one site produced most of the installations and another almost none. The weaker site was dropped and the budget moved.

### Quotes nobody chased

**Scenario:** A kitchen installer’s designers produced detailed quotes after each home visit, then moved on to the next appointment. Follow-up was sporadic.
**Outcome:** Every quote now has follow-up calls scheduled at set intervals and a recorded outcome. Conversion rose, and lost reasons showed where pricing needed attention.

## Getting started

1. **Discovery:** A short, structured session on how enquiries arrive, how you quote, and where customer information lives now - the inboxes, the spreadsheet, the old CRM and the notebook in the car. We come back with what works as standard and what needs configuring.
2. **Setup:** Pipeline stages, fields, quote templates, email connection, teams and permissions set up to match how you sell - not a demo account with your logo dropped on it.
3. **Data import:** Contacts, companies, open opportunities and quote history brought across from spreadsheets, inboxes or your previous CRM, with duplicates merged. You check it against what you had before anybody switches over.
4. **Training & rollout:** Short, role-based training so the sales team learns the pipeline and the office learns enquiries and cases - in person where it helps. Guides and screen recordings left behind for new starters.
5. **Ongoing support:** UK support from the people who built the platform, with a named contact, agreed response times, and a product roadmap you can influence.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can leads from lead-generation sites come straight in?**

Yes. Where the site emails leads, a dedicated address turns them into records with the source attached. Where it offers an API or webhook, leads can post directly.

**Can surveyors use it on their phone?**

Yes. Surveyors can see their appointments, customer details and history, log the survey with photographs and build a quote from a phone or tablet.

**Does it schedule installation teams?**

CubeCRM covers leads, surveys, quotes and customers. Installation scheduling and job management are part of CubeERP, which shares CubeCRM’s data model if you need them later.

**Does it help with consumer credit or finance quotes?**

Finance options can be recorded on the quote, but CubeCRM is not a finance broker platform. If you offer regulated finance, your lender’s tools and rules continue to apply.
