CRM in a Box (Hybrid Labs)v0.1.0

A small business owner can quickly bootstrap a CRM by copying baseline files into a directory, then log contacts, deals, and interactions without any SaaS dependency. This is ideal for freelancers, local shops, or startups needing a simple, file-based system.

Real estate agents can fork the config.yaml to customize pipeline stages (e.g., Listing, Showing, Under Contract, Closed) and track buyers, sellers, and property interactions. The append-only log ensures an audit trail of all communications.

Recruiters can use the skill to manage candidates, job openings, and placements. By customizing pipeline stages (e.g., Sourced, Interviewed, Offered, Hired) and logging interactions like emails and calls, they can track the entire recruitment cycle.

SaaS sales teams can track leads from initial contact through proposal and negotiation to won/lost. The sales rep can log interactions and update deal stages, while using grep or Python commands to search and filter the NDJSON files.

Property managers can manage tenants, owners, and vendors using a customized CRM with stages like Leasing, Maintenance, Renewal. All interactions (maintenance requests, lease negotiations) are recorded in the append-only log.

Offer a free baseline CRM package using this skill, then charge for customization (config.yaml for verticals) and consulting on setup and data migration. Revenue comes from one-time setup fees and monthly retainer for support.

Provide a service that bridges this file-based CRM with popular tools (Calendly, email, Slack) via scripts or connectors. Charge per integration or a monthly subscription for maintaining data sync.

Sell pre-built config.yaml files and toolkits for verticals (real estate, recruiting, SaaS) on a marketplace. Each config includes custom stages, labels, and example data. Revenue from per-download sales.
