Keeping your consulting firm’s current client base happy and managing your sales and marketing efforts for new business from a spreadsheet is not going to cut it. As a consultant, your business is exceptionally customer-centric, which means that you need a robust customer relationship management (CRM) system designed for consulting companies to stay ahead of the game.
Nutshell provides the ideal all-in-one CRM for consulting businesses, small and large. It gives you the tools you need to track sales, manage customer interactions, and streamline your workflows for increased productivity and profitability.
Perhaps you’re a private consultant working for yourself. Or, maybe you’re a consultant at a large firm managing a portfolio of clients. Either way, you likely spend most of your day with your clients, whether in-person or virtually. So, how do you find the time to attend to other crucial aspects of your business, such as marketing, lead nurturing, customer support, and more?
The reality is that many consultants struggle to do it all, forgetting about their past clients as they work to pursue new business when possible. With this approach, your marketing efforts are less effective than they could be, and your customer retention rate has taken a nosedive.
Investing in a CRM system can give you the time and tools to keep past clients engaged and boost your outreach for new business. In fact, here are some of the vital benefits of incorporating a quality CRM platform into your small or large consulting business:
Regardless of the type of consulting work you do, whether you’re a financial, IT, or management consultant, you’ll benefit from several core CRM features. But it all comes down to your company type, size, and objectives. For example, the best CRM for small business consulting may have different features and priorities than those for enterprise-level consultants.
Consider your business needs and what you want from your CRM to determine which one is the best CRM for consulting. That said, two primary needs of consulting firms include streamlining processes to save time and building solid client relationships.
Nutshell offers the essential features to help you free up time by reducing repetitive, non-selling tasks. It also offers the tools to cultivate stronger customer relationships for long-term engagement and future business.
These are the Nutshell features your consulting company will find most useful:
With the need for new clients a priority, we understand that you require a consulting CRM that helps you stay on top of lead activity and progress through the pipeline. Nutshell allows you to set up custom pipelines and pipeline stages to fit your preferred sales process.
Our advanced pipeline management features make prospecting, lead nurturing, and sales less complicated with the following handy tools:
You may find that just a few pipelines for different audiences are all you need for a winning system you can place on repeat. Keeping track of your leads and pipeline with Nutshell significantly reduces the time you spend on sales activities and lets you focus more on consulting.
From lead nurturing to relationship building, you’ll benefit from the ability to automate tasks that are essential but simply not the best use of your time. Making the most of Nutshell’s sales and task automation features is another way to shave some time off your day-to-day activities, which you can spend on critical marketing and relationship-building pursuits.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
