Lead inbox

“I’m a graphic designer with about 20 recurring clients. I’ve been using spreadsheets and it’s becoming unmanageable. I need something simple — not Salesforce-level complex. Just a clean way to see who owes me money, when projects are due, and maybe send proposals. Budget is under $50/mo. What do you use?”

“Been using HoneyBook for a year but the price keeps going up and I don’t use half the features. I’m a solo consultant — I just need client tracking, proposals, and basic invoicing. Anything simpler and cheaper out there?”

“I’m about to leave my corporate job and go freelance. Building my toolkit now. What software do you wish someone had told you about on day one? Especially interested in anything for managing clients and getting paid on time.”

“Going solo next month after 8 years in tech. Need recs for: accounting, CRM, project management, and communication tools. Bonus points if they’re affordable and don’t require a PhD to set up.”

“Running a small event planning business. Need to keep track of client info, event dates, vendor contacts, and payment status. Nothing too enterprise-y. What do you recommend?”
