How CRM Can Help You Become More Profitable In today’s highly competitive construction industry, customer relationship management (CRM) systems can provide contractors with a competitive edge. A CRM system is much more than a sophisticated electronic address book. It can help you improve customer service, direct limited resources where they’ll be most effective and win new business.
Staying up to speed
Essentially, a CRM system is a powerful, centralized database that captures in one place all relevant information about customers, projects, prospects, business partners and other contacts. Typically, this information is accessible both in the office and remotely. As a result, CRM allows your team members to get up to speed quickly on the status of a project or lead. If, for example, a customer calls with a question or complaint and the primary contact isn’t available, anyone at your company can use the CRM system to learn about the issue and any recent communications on the subject.
Focusing your efforts
From a business development perspective, CRM can help your company direct its limited resources to projects likely to yield the greatest returns. By integrating CRM with other systems — such as project management, job costing and estimating — you can build profiles of your most successful projects by client, industry sector, geographic location and other factors.

For example, a CRM system can: •
Capture all information about a business opportunity, including the nature of the project, names and background of all key players, and bid deadlines, • Manage and track all sales activities and tasks, including e-mails, phone calls, meeting notes and so forth, • Provide reminders for personnel of key tasks or deadlines, and • Help coordinate relationships with key business partners, such as subcontractors, engineers, architects and consultants. You can even use CRM to help manage the contract negotiation process.
Avoiding the cracks
Most construction businesses have ample customer information already, but often it’s found only on paper or in multiple databases or spreadsheets. By centralizing this information, CRM can reduce the chances that something will fall through the cracks. This, in turn, can help

Capitol Connection Q & A for Contractors By Shauna Krause, President, Capitol Services, Inc.
Like The Professor and Sherman from those old cartoon reruns, we fire up the ‘way back’ machine for a contractor’s question. A couple of contractors who’ve reached their ‘boiling point’ on bids need a short answer, and a long one. A General discovers they can play, but not get in the ‘pool’ alone… Q: You helped me get my license way back when and I have been the Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) for many, many years. As I get closer to retiring, I am becoming less involved in the dayto-day operations of the company. I am ready to pass the RMO torch to one of my employees and have him be the new qualifying individual. I still have ownership in the company so my question is if I remove myself as the RMO, how does that affect my interest in the company? I won’t be fully retired for another year or two. A: It’s great to hear from you again. Changing the Qualifier on the license does not affect the ownership structure of the company. You can even remain as an Officer on the license. Go ahead and pass the torch and of course contact us if you’d like help with the process! Q: My company has a “C-20” (HVAC) license and we do energy upgrades on homes. Part of this
work sometimes involves replacing the boilers. Recently another contractor told me I couldn’t do the boiler work unless we held a “C-4” Boiler classification. Can you tell me if that’s correct?
