Win more electrical work by being the sparky who calls back first

HelloGrowthCRM catches every enquiry from your site, your phone and your messages, then chases each quote until it is booked or dead.

Quick answer

Does HelloGrowthCRM replace ServiceM8, Tradify or Simpro?

No, and you should not try to make it. HelloGrowthCRM is a sales and follow-up CRM. It has no scheduling board, no timesheets, no materials or job costing. ServiceM8, Tradify, Simpro and AroFlo handle all of that. If you are actively dispatching crews, keep the tool you already run. HelloGrowthCRM sits in front of it and owns the enquiry, the callback, the quote and the chasing, then hands the won job across through a connector, Zapier or the API.

Why this page exists

Most electrical businesses in Australia do not lose work on price. They lose it because the enquiry rang out while the team was in a roof cavity in Blacktown or up a ladder in Preston. By the time you call back, the homeowner has booked whoever answered. HelloGrowthCRM handles the sales side of your business. Every call, web form and message lands in one pipeline with the caller's history attached. Quotes for a switchboard upgrade, an EV charger or an LED retrofit get chased on a set schedule instead of whenever you remember. Your job management software still runs the jobs, the CCEW or Certificate of Electrical Safety paperwork and the accounting you already trust. This layer just makes sure the work gets won before it walks out the door.

Be clear about what this is. HelloGrowthCRM is a sales and follow-up CRM. It has no technician scheduling board, no timesheets, no materials costing and no job costing. ServiceM8, Tradify, Simpro and AroFlo do that job well, and if you are actively dispatching crews you should keep the tool you have. HelloGrowthCRM sits alongside it and owns the part those tools treat as an afterthought: the enquiry, the callback, the quote and the six follow-ups it takes to get an answer. Connect the two with a native connector, Zapier or the API so a won lead becomes a job without retyping. Full native iOS and Android apps mean an apprentice can log a lead from site and you can ring it back from the ute.

Why teams evaluating CRM for electricians Australia want a simpler system

Enquiries land while you are on the tools, ring out to voicemail, and the homeowner books the next sparky on the list before you climb down and check your phone.

Quotes for switchboard upgrades and rewires go out and then sit. Nobody chases them, so a fortnight later you have no idea whether the job is alive or gone.

Builders and property managers send work by text, email and phone in the same week. Without one thread you answer twice, miss one, and look disorganised.

You spend on Google Ads and local sponsorship but cannot say which suburbs or channels actually produced booked work, so the budget keeps going to guesswork.

Storm callouts and after-hours make-safe requests arrive in a rush. The urgent ones get done and the quotable ones, like a full switchboard replacement, quietly disappear.

Everything sits in one person's head or their mobile. When they take leave, or leave the business, the pipeline of open quotes leaves with them.

Xero + SMS follow-up

Every way an electrical enquiry arrives, in one thread

Sparkies get found in scattered ways. A form on your site at 11pm, a missed call from a strata manager, a WhatsApp message from a builder with photos of a dead board, a text from a repeat customer in Toowong. HelloGrowthCRM pulls web forms, phone calls and messaging into one record per person, so the third contact knows about the first two. The dialer records the call and writes an AI summary, so a quote can be built from what was actually said rather than a note scrawled on a job sheet. Follow-up goes out by email, SMS or WhatsApp on whichever channel that customer actually replies to.

How it works

Connect your enquiry sources

Point your website contact form, your business number and your messaging channels at HelloGrowthCRM. Setup takes about fifteen minutes. Every new enquiry from that moment lands in one place with the source recorded against it.

Set your pipeline stages

Build stages that match how electrical work is actually won: new enquiry, site visit booked, quote sent, chasing, won or lost. Drag jobs across on the iOS or Android app between calls.

Turn on follow-up that runs itself

Write your quote chase once as an email sequence with SMS or WhatsApp steps. It fires on the schedule you set and stops automatically the moment the customer replies or the quote is accepted.

Pass won work to your job software

When a quote is accepted, push the customer and job details into ServiceM8, Tradify, Simpro or AroFlo through a native connector, Zapier or the API. No retyping, no lost detail between sales and the crew.

Pricing

A$20 per user per month, or A$16 on annual billing

HelloGrowthCRM is A$20 per user per month (US$12), or US$10 per user per month on annual billing. There is a free forever plan if you want to run one pipeline and see whether the follow-up actually converts before you pay for anything. Setup takes about fifteen minutes, so a two-van outfit can be capturing enquiries the same afternoon. If you would rather not build it yourself, the optional managed RevOps service, Growth Engine, sets up the pipeline and sequences for you.

Frequently asked questions

HelloGrowthCRM connects through native connectors, Zapier and a public API, so it can pass customer and quote information to the accounting and job systems Australian electricians already use, including Xero and MYOB. In most setups the invoicing of record stays where it is today. Use HelloGrowthCRM invoicing for quick callout billing if that suits you, or keep everything flowing to your accountant's preferred system. Your BAS and GST reporting process does not need to change.

On a busy Monday you might have fourteen new enquiries and time to ring six. AI lead scoring ranks them so a commercial switchboard job or a full rewire is not sitting under a request to replace a downlight. It uses the information already captured, such as the enquiry text, the source and the history of that contact. You still decide who to ring. It just stops the biggest quote of the week going cold at the bottom of a list.

No. Compliance certification is handled through your state regulator's process and usually through your job management software. In New South Wales that is the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, in Victoria the Certificate of Electrical Safety through Energy Safe Victoria, and Queensland runs its own scheme through the Electrical Safety Office. HelloGrowthCRM stays on the sales side of the line and does not touch licensing, certification or safety documentation.

There is a free forever plan, so you can capture leads and run one pipeline without paying anything. Paid plans are A$20 per user per month (US$12), or US$10 per user per month if you pay annually. For a business with two or three people quoting, that is a small line item next to the value of one recovered switchboard job. Setup is about fifteen minutes, so you can test it against your current follow-up before committing to anything.

Fast on the first call is not the issue for most electrical businesses. The gap is the second, third and fourth contact. A quote for a rewire often needs several nudges over a few weeks while the customer talks to their partner or waits on a builder. Doing that from memory across thirty open quotes does not scale. Automated sequences run those nudges consistently and stop the moment someone replies, so nothing gets chased twice.

Stop losing electrical jobs to whoever answered first

Set up HelloGrowthCRM in about fifteen minutes, point your enquiries at it, and let the follow-up run itself. Keep ServiceM8, Tradify, Simpro or AroFlo for the jobs. Start on the free forever plan and see what your current follow-up is leaving on the table.
