You're Losing $120K-$600K/Year to Lead Leakage (Here's How to Fix It)
Most electricians think "marketing" is their problem. Wrong. Lead leakage is killing your revenue: missed calls, slow quotes, forgotten follow-ups, no seasonal outreach. FlashCrafter's free CRM ($97-497/mo value) captures the 40-60% of leads you're losing right now.
The Lead Leakage Problem
Most electricians think "marketing" is their problem. Wrong. Lead leakage is killing your revenue.
Missed Calls
Emergency electrical call at 6 PM, you're on a job site, phone goes to voicemail → Customer calls the next electrician on Google. Lost: $800-$3,500 emergency repair job.
Slow Follow-Up
Customer requests panel upgrade quote, you respond 2 days later → They already booked with the electrician who responded in 15 minutes. Lost: $3,000-$8,000 panel upgrade.
Forgotten Follow-Ups
You send $6,000 rewiring quote, customer says "I'll think about it", you forget to follow up → They go with whoever calls back. Lost: $4,000-$10,000 rewiring job.
No Seasonal Outreach
Spring arrives, you don't remind past customers about electrical safety inspections → They call whoever sends a reminder first. Lost: 40-60 inspection jobs × $99-$199 = $3,960-$11,940.
The Cost of Lead Leakage
If you generate 50 leads/month but only close 20 (40%), you're losing 30 leads to leakage. A proper CRM captures 25-30 of those 50 leads (50-60% close rate). At $2,000-5,000 average job value (panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers), that's $60,000-$150,000 in recovered annual revenue. FlashCrafter's CRM is included free—you're losing more money WITHOUT it than you'd ever pay for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about electrician CRM software
Do I really need a CRM for a small electrical business?
Yes—especially if you're small. Without a CRM, you're manually tracking leads in notebooks, missing calls while on jobs, forgetting to follow up on quotes, and losing panel upgrade opportunities to whoever sends the first estimate. If you generate even 20-30 leads/month, 30-50% are falling through the cracks without systematic follow-up. FlashCrafter's CRM captures those lost leads automatically—turning 20 customers into 30-35 customers from the SAME lead volume. The revenue recovered ($60K-$120K annually from panel upgrades, rewiring jobs, and EV charger installs) pays for the entire $50/month plan 100-200x over.
How does GoHighLevel compare to ServiceTitan for electricians?
ServiceTitan is built for large electrical contractors (20+ trucks, dispatch teams, inventory management) and costs $300-500/month with complex setup. GoHighLevel (included free with FlashCrafter) is perfect for small-medium electricians (1-10 trucks) who need lead capture, automated follow-ups, pipeline management, and customer retention—without paying for enterprise features you'll never use. ServiceTitan = overkill for most contractors. GoHighLevel = right-sized for electrical businesses doing $300K-$2M annually who need CRM automation, not dispatch software.
Can I migrate my customer data from spreadsheets or old systems?
Yes. FlashCrafter's setup includes importing your existing customer list from Excel, Google Sheets, CSV files, or other CRMs. We map your columns (Name, Phone, Email, Address, Service History, Panel Types) to the CRM fields, then upload everything in one batch. Once imported, you can immediately launch seasonal safety campaigns, send review requests to past customers, or set up automated panel upgrade offers. Most electricians import 200-2,000 past customers and generate 40-80 inspection appointments within the first 60 days just by texting their existing list with 'Spring electrical safety check $99' offers.
How do automated follow-ups work without annoying customers?
FlashCrafter's CRM uses spaced, value-driven sequences—not spam. Example: Customer requests panel upgrade quote → Day 0: Send quote via email with financing options. Day 1: Auto-SMS 'Got your quote—any questions about the panel upgrade?' Day 3: Auto-SMS 'We offer 0% financing for 12 months on panel upgrades'. Day 7: Auto-call reminder (manual call from you, but CRM prompts you). If customer books, sequence stops immediately. If they don't respond by Day 30, one final 'Still interested?' text, then they exit the sequence. This isn't annoying—it's systematic follow-up that matches how customers actually make $3,000-$8,000 panel upgrade decisions (they need 3-7 touchpoints before committing).
What's the ROI of CRM for electrical contractors?
Massive. Example: You generate 50 leads/month through marketing. Without CRM: 40% close rate = 20 customers/month. With CRM: 50-60% close rate = 25-30 customers/month (automated follow-ups, missed-call text-back, quote reminders). Additional 5-10 customers × $2,000-5,000 average job (panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers) = $10,000-$50,000 extra revenue PER MONTH. Annually: $120,000-$600,000 in recovered revenue. FlashCrafter's CRM costs $0 (included in $50/mo plan). ROI = infinite. The real question isn't 'Can I afford CRM?'—it's 'How much longer can I afford to lose $120K-$600K annually WITHOUT CRM?'
