    I run a $15 to $25 million electrical subcontracting business, and we are looking for a CRM. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Does HubSpot work well in the construction industry? Is Cosential still a good option for construction businesses? Does anyone use ConstructionCRM?"

    Following.

    would be interested to see responses on other subs.  curious how well different CRMs handle bid correspondence on a one bid to many GC's ratio.  this is where we have struggled to onboard in the past because most seem cumbersome to track the history of a single bid.  while we want to have notes on the customer we would want to be able to track the bid as well since as a sub all of our sales come from that!

    The one to many GC aspect is what drew me to FollowUpCRM.  It handles it well.  I recommend checking them out.
