Mike Eads, Founder of CRM Coach

"The most common mistake I see is teams rushing to switch platforms when what they really need is a clearer process on the system they already have. The second most common mistake is the opposite — staying too long on a system that genuinely no longer fits. The goal is an honest read on which situation you're in."

— Mike Eads, Founder, CRM Coach

What we bring

  • 20+ CRM implementations completed across HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and NetSuite.
  • Developed the 11-category CRM Scorecard used in the Revenue Assessment to diagnose switch vs. improve scenarios.
  • Worked with companies from early-stage startups to $100M+ enterprises.
  • No platform commissions — recommendations are based on fit, not vendor relationships.
Diagnose before prescribing
We start with operating context, process friction, and decision criteria before recommending a path.
Guide with structure
Our work is sequenced and measurable so teams can move forward without guesswork.
Optimize for durable outcomes
We prioritize adoption quality, data reliability, and practical operating rhythms over novelty.
Calibrated, not urgent
We do not rush clients toward decisions. Speed matters less than choosing the right path and executing it well.

Phase 1

Understand

We begin by reviewing your operating context, workflow gaps, and decision criteria. This discovery phase is where we determine what you actually need.

2
Phase 2

Optimize

We identify high-leverage improvements and sequence them by impact. No guesswork — prioritization is based on your specific constraints and goals.

3
Phase 3

Implement

We execute changes with the team, document what was built, and coach adoption so improvements stick beyond the engagement.
