CRM and marketing automation

A forgotten lead is money left on the table. A system fixes that.

We structure base, segmentation, nurture and cadences so every contact receives the right follow-up — and marketing and sales work from the same information.

Before automating, get organised: automation on a messy base only accelerates the mess.

The problem

Without a system, every lead depends on somebody remembering it.

Contacts arrive through many channels, nobody knows which stage each one is at, and opportunities go cold in silence.

Leads with no owner and no next step

The contact enters and nobody knows who follows up, when, or with which message.

Marketing generates, sales ignores

With no shared quality criterion, marketing leads die on the way to sales.

A dormant base nobody reactivates

Thousands of old contacts sleep in the base while the company pays for new traffic.

Manual, irregular follow-up

Follow-up depends on individual memory — and disappears in busy weeks.

parallel spreadsheets holding the same contacts

leads answered days after first contact

salespeople complaining about lead quality

an old base never reactivated

generic automations nobody personalises

funnel reports assembled by hand every month

acquisition cost rises because each lead yields less

the sales cycle stretches for lack of nurture

the base, a paid asset, loses value sitting still

Following up with a system beats following up with luck — and luck does not scale.

What a good CRM has to build

Four layers leave no lead behind.

CRM and automation organise the lifecycle of the contact: capturing with criteria, nurturing with relevance, handing to sales at the right moment, and reactivating whoever went cold.

Segmentation

Splitting the base by profile and moment, to address each group correctly.

Nurture

Sequences that educate and bring contacts closer until they are ready to talk.

Lead scoring

The explicit criterion for when a lead passes from marketing to sales.

Lifecycle

The stages of the contact, from first click to repeat customer.

How we work

From an organised base to a follow-up machine.

We start by drawing the real journey, then choose and configure the right tool.

Map

We survey the journey, stages, entry channels and handover bottlenecks.

01

Organise

We define segmentation, qualification criteria and distribution rules.

02

Automate

We configure cadences, nurture and routines with the right tool.

03

Operate

We track performance, adjust flows and train the team in use.

04

access to the base, its history and current tools

a joint definition of what a sales-ready lead looks like

someone on the team running the routine with discipline

What may be part of the work

Scope follows the maturity of the operation.

From initial base organisation to full lifecycle operation, in stages.

We work with the tools suited to each client — strategy, implementation, configuration and operation. We do not build proprietary CRMs: bespoke software belongs to Centriu.

What we follow

Follow-up is measured in progress, not in sends.

Good automation moves contacts between stages; bad automation just sends email.

Response speed

How long it takes from first contact to first human reply.

Stage progress

How many contacts move forward in the journey per period.

Reactivation

How many cold contacts return to engage and advance.

Marketing-to-sales conversion

How many qualified leads become real opportunities.

Open rate alone decides nothing: what matters is the movement of contacts towards purchase.

When it fits

When the leads exist and the follow-up does not.

CRM fixes disorganised demand, not missing demand.

when leads get lost between channels and spreadsheets

when marketing and sales disagree about quality

when an old base exists that was never worked

when follow-up depends on each salesperson memory

If almost nobody arrives, the first step is generating demand — CRM enters to make sure none of it is lost.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about CRM and automation

Which CRM tool do you work with?

The one suited to the size, budget and maturity of the operation. The decision comes after designing the journey — a tool without process becomes cost, not solution.

Do you build a proprietary CRM for the company?

No. We handle strategy, implementation, configuration, operation and optimisation on established market tools. Building bespoke software is a different discipline, handled by Centriu.

Does automation replace the salesperson?

No — it prepares the ground. Automation nurtures, reminds and qualifies; the closing conversation stays human. It removes the forgotten lead, not the seller.

How soon does the operation feel the difference?

Base organisation and basic cadences show effects within weeks. Lifecycle maturity — calibrated scoring, nurture by segment — builds over steady adjustment cycles.

Before generating more leads, make sure none of them gets lost.

We map how contacts enter, where they stall, and what would move each one forward — and design the right follow-up operation.
