A simple CRM for freelancers who hate bloated tools
If your \"CRM\" is a mix of DMs, inbox stars, and half‑updated sheets, BareCRM is the small upgrade that keeps work from slipping through the cracks.
The freelancer CRM problem
Freelancers do sales between actual work. You jump from client delivery to leads to invoices in the same day. Keeping a full CRM updated is not going to happen.
- Leads hide in your inbox and social DMs.
- Follow‑up dates live in your head or on sticky notes.
- Big CRMs feel like another project, not a helper.
A barebones setup with BareCRM
BareCRM gives you one tiny place to keep leads and follow‑ups so you do not have to think about \"managing\" a CRM.
- Add a lead when someone shows real interest.
- Note what they want and when you should reach out next.
- Let BareCRM remind you when it is time to follow up.
- Mark it done or push the reminder forward.
Why BareCRM fits freelancers
- No onboarding calls, no training, no \"implementation\" project.
- Small enough that you will actually keep it updated.
- Focused on the one job that moves revenue: following up.
Turn leads into booked work
If you already know how to get interest, BareCRM helps you stop wasting it. Fewer tabs, fewer excuses, more paid projects.
