How Free CRM + Invoicing Works Together
Track Leads in CRM
Add leads from website forms, email, or manual entry. Move them through your pipeline: Lead → Qualified → Proposal → Negotiation.
Close Deal
When deal is won, drag card to "Closed Won" stage. Lead becomes customer. All deal details saved in CRM.
Create Invoice
Click "Create Invoice" button on won deal. Customer info auto-fills. Add line items, send invoice. Payment tracked in CRM.
Real Example: Consulting Business
Monday: New lead "Acme Corp" comes in via website form → Automatically added to CRM pipeline
Tuesday: Email them proposal → Email logged to CRM automatically (Gmail integration)
Thursday: They accept! → Drag "Acme Corp" to "Closed Won" stage
Thursday (1 min later): Click "Create Invoice" → Customer info pre-filled → Add "$5,000 - Website Redesign" → Send
Friday: They pay → Mark invoice as paid → Revenue tracked in CRM analytics

💚 Success Story: Sarah's Consulting Business
Before Lead16
Sarah ran a marketing consulting business. She tracked leads in a Google Spreadsheet. For invoicing, she used FreshBooks ($17/mo).
❌ Constantly switching between spreadsheet and FreshBooks
❌ Manually copy client info to invoice
❌ Forgot to follow up with leads (no reminders)
❌ Couldn't track which leads were invoiced
❌ Paying $17/mo for invoicing
After Lead16
Sarah switched to Lead16's free plan. Now she has professional CRM + invoicing in one system.
✅ Everything in one platform (no app switching)
✅ Close deal → Create invoice in 10 seconds
✅ Automatic reminders for follow-ups
✅ See exactly which clients are invoiced vs pending
✅ Saved $204/year by canceling FreshBooks
Sarah's results after 3 months:
"I should have switched to Lead16 months ago. The free plan has more features than the $17/mo FreshBooks I was paying for."
