Leads go cold
New leads come in from vendors, web forms and lists, but nobody can see at a glance who needs a call first. By the time someone follows up, the prospect has already signed with someone else.
Custom CRM
Your own CRM. Built for your sales team.
You buy leads and you already have a CRM like HubSpot or Pipedrive — but it doesn't fit the way your team sells. Mercolutio builds you a custom CRM around your actual process, so nothing gets lost between “new lead” and “closed deal.” Only the features your team needs, and we keep supporting it after launch.

Sound familiar?
You paid for the leads. Your CRM is slowing you down.
When you buy leads, every contact costs money. It hurts even more when one slips through because your CRM was built for someone else's sales process.
Your CRM doesn't match how you sell
Stages and fields get bent until they sort of fit. The real status ends up in a spreadsheet, an inbox or somebody's head.
Every new rep costs extra
You pay per seat, and the one feature you actually need is locked in the next tier up. With off-the-shelf CRMs, growing often means paying more for things nobody uses.
What your CRM does
Exactly the features you need. Nothing more.
We don't clone an off-the-shelf product — we build around how your team works. Together we decide what your CRM does. For teams that buy leads, that typically includes:
- Leads from vendors, web forms and lists land in the CRM automatically
- One clear pipeline with your stages, not a vendor's defaults
- Clear ownership: everyone sees who's working which lead
- Follow-up reminders, so no lead sits untouched
- Duplicate detection before two reps call the same person
- Reporting by lead source: which purchased leads actually close?
- Integrations with your phone system, email, calendar or accounting
Why it pays off
What changes with your own CRM.
Fewer lost leads
When the system mirrors how you actually sell, no lead falls through the gap between two stages. Every lead you paid for has an owner and a next step.
No per-seat licenses
A new rep isn't a new license. You can grow your team without your software bill growing right along with it.
Your system, your data
The CRM belongs to you, and so does every record in it. You're not at the mercy of a vendor's pricing or plan changes.
Ongoing support
Mercolutio stays on as your point of contact after launch. Need a change? Just ask — your CRM keeps evolving with your sales team.
How we work
No one-size-fits-all package.
Every CRM we build looks different, because every sales team works differently. The path there is always the same: understand first, then build.
1
Intro call
Show us how leads come in today, who works them and where things get stuck. We'll take a look at your current CRM, too. Free, no strings attached.
2
Scoping
Together we decide which features your team really needs. That's all we build — no bloat from a one-size-fits-all plan.
3
Build & migration
We build your CRM, connect your lead sources and tools, move your existing data over and get your team up to speed.
4
Ongoing support
We stay on board after launch: changes on request, continued development and one point of contact who knows your system.
Once your CRM is running
Your CRM is the foundation. We can build on it.
A CRM that runs smoothly is the foundation for everything that comes next. If you want, we'll take the next step together — tailored to you as well.
Website redesign for SEO & conversions
A website that ranks on Google and turns visitors into inquiries — so you get your own leads on top of the ones you buy.
Website connected to your CRM
Website inquiries go straight into the CRM as leads, with the source and every detail attached. No retyping, no forwarding emails.
Apps for your team and customers
For example, an app for field reps that uses the same data as the CRM in the office, or a portal for your customers.
More automation
Quotes, follow-ups, invoices or handoffs to other teams: whatever repeats, the system can take over.
FAQ
Custom CRM, explained.
Who is a custom CRM a good fit for?
Mostly teams that buy leads regularly or get them from several sources — solar sales teams, for example — and whose reps end up working around an off-the-shelf CRM: fields get repurposed, stages don't match the real process, and key information lives in spreadsheets or inboxes. If your process has its own rules, your own CRM can follow exactly those rules.
We already use HubSpot or Pipedrive. What happens to our data?
We migrate contacts, deals, notes and history from your current system, clean up duplicates and map everything to your new pipeline stages. Your team starts the new CRM with all of its data, not an empty database.
Where is the CRM hosted?
On servers in Germany, under EU data protection law (GDPR). Your customer and lead data stays in one place, and you always know where it lives.
Do we own the CRM?
Yes. The CRM is built for you and belongs to you, along with all the data in it. You're not renting seats from a software vendor, so there are no per-user license fees as your team grows.
What if we want to change something later?
That's what we're here for. Mercolutio supports your CRM long term and keeps developing it: a new field, another lead source, a new report or a new integration — just ask. No waiting for a vendor to maybe build the feature someday.
Is a custom CRM always the better choice?
No. If your process fits an off-the-shelf CRM well and it's really just the setup that's off, we'll tell you that on the intro call. In that case, cleaning up your current CRM is often the faster route — and we can help with that too.
Rather stick with your current CRM? We also help teams clean up and automate HubSpot and other CRMs — just mention it in your request.
