Why Every Small Business Needs a CRM
And Why We Love Capsule
If you’re running a small business, keeping track of clients, leads, emails, and follow-ups can feel like a full-time job. And let’s be honest, trying to do it all from your inbox or a spreadsheet just doesn’t cut it.
That’s where a CRM system (Customer Relationship Management) tool comes in. It’s one of the most powerful ways to stay organised, build better client relationships, and grow your business, without the chaos.
At Pink Spaghetti, we’ve helped countless small businesses get to grips with CRM systems, and one of our all-time favourites is Capsule. Here’s why having a CRM is essential, and why we think Capsule is the perfect fit for small business owners.
What Is a CRM and Why Does Your Business Need One?
A CRM system helps you manage all your customer interactions, sales pipelines, and business development activities in one place. Think of it as your business brain - it remembers everything so you don’t have to.
Here’s how a CRM helps your business:
Keeps client information organised – Contact details, notes, emails, tasks, and files are all stored in one central hub.
Improves follow-ups – Never forget to chase a lead, send a proposal, or follow up after a meeting.
Boosts sales efficiency – Track where leads are in your pipeline and take action at the right time.
Supports customer retention – Build stronger relationships by remembering key details and past conversations.
Saves time – No more digging through inboxes or spreadsheets to find what you need.
