Service summary
What this system fixes
This is for the operational gap where a CSR writes the note in one place, the dispatcher texts from another, and the CRM never shows the real lead status clearly.
Problem: Leads enter the CRM but do not move cleanly through qualification, booking, follow-up, estimate, job completion, and review request stages.
System: RIKU Growth maps the workflow, cleans up pipeline stages and duplicates, adds lead source tracking, tags, custom fields, lost reason categories, task automation, dashboard views, and monthly CRM maintenance rules.
Outcome: Owners can see where revenue is leaking, and staff can work from a clearer operating rhythm.
