Stage 02 — Convert & Retain

HubSpot was supposed to do this. It didn't.

You've been paying for a platform you half-use, with automations that still require someone to manage them. We audit what you have, cut what isn't working, and rebuild it as a system that runs.

You're not paying for a CRM. You're paying for a contact database with expensive features collecting dust.

Most fitness operators use HubSpot — or Mindbody, or Salesforce — for about 15% of what it offers. The rest is shelfware. And meanwhile, new members aren't getting onboarded properly, at-risk members are churning without a single flag, and staff is manually doing what should be automatic. You're paying $400–$1,200/month for the privilege.

Automations that aren't firing

Set up once, broken since. Nobody noticed because nobody checked.

Sequences never turned on

Built during onboarding, sitting in draft. Revenue sitting with them.

Integrations with zero usage

Paying monthly fees for connections your team forgot existed.

Manual workflows that should be automatic

Staff time going to follow-up and outreach that a system should run.

The Audit-First Approach

We show you the waste before we touch anything.

Every Custom CRM engagement starts with a teardown. We map your current system — what you're paying for, what you're using, what's actually running, and what's sitting idle. You'll see exactly what's costing you vs. what's delivering value before we rebuild anything.

Stack inventory

Every tool, every integration, every fee — mapped and categorized

📊

Usage analysis

What's actually being used vs. what you're paying for

Automation audit

Which automations are live, broken, or never turned on

Cost vs. value

Clear picture of what to keep, cut, and rebuild

How the Custom CRM works

The connective tissue of the entire revenue system — from audit to a running operation that doesn't require babysitting.

01

Revenue Systems Diagnostic

We audit your current stack and revenue lifecycle. Clear picture of what to keep, what to cut, and what to rebuild — before any work begins.

02

System Design

We design the CRM architecture around your operation: member journey stages, automation triggers, staff touchpoints, reporting views.

03

Build on Airtable + Claude

Airtable as the database and workflow engine. Claude as the intelligence layer — drafting messages, flagging risks, generating reports. Built for you, not from a template.

04

Onboarding Automation

New members enter a structured first-30-days sequence. Day 1 welcome. Week 1 check-in. Class feedback. Goal nudge. All automatic. All personal.

05

Retention Signals

The CRM tracks engagement — visit frequency, class attendance, response rates. When a member goes quiet, it flags them before they cancel and triggers re-engagement.

06

Handoff to Revenue Recovery

When a member lapses or a payment fails, the CRM passes them to Revenue Recovery automatically. Nothing falls through the cracks.

What you actually get

Not a HubSpot replacement for its own sake. A purpose-built system that does what your current CRM promised — at a fraction of the cost, with none of the bloat.

Deliverables

  • Full audit of your current CRM/stack with waste analysis and cost breakdown
  • Custom-built Airtable base (member database, pipeline, reporting views)
  • Claude-powered automation and messaging layer
  • New member onboarding sequence (30-day automated touchpoints)
  • At-risk member detection and re-engagement trigger logic
  • Staff-facing dashboard (member status, action queue)
  • Integration with Agentic SDR (inbound) and Revenue Recovery (lapsed)
  • Monthly retention metrics reporting

Why Airtable + Claude

No vendor lock-in

You own the system. It runs on tools you control.

Built for your operation

Not a generic template — designed around how your club actually runs.

Fraction of the cost

Airtable + Claude costs a fraction of HubSpot at full capability.

Grows with you

Add stages, automations, and integrations as the business grows.

Lifecycle

The CRM is the system everyone else plugs into.

Without the Custom CRM, the Agentic SDR has nowhere to hand off to. Revenue Recovery has no signal to act on. Stage 2 is the infrastructure that makes everything else possible.

Acquire Convert & Retain Recover

The SDR fills the pipeline. The CRM converts it and retains members. Recovery catches what slips through. Each stage runs on the data from the one before it.

The audit is the first step. It costs you nothing to know.
