CRM Review Insights and Real Patterns Emerging

INTRO:

Welcome,

Today was a quick one — but one of the most revealing so far.

I spent the day digging through real CRM reviews and mining community posts to spot recurring patterns in the problems that small business owners — especially painters — are facing.

And the crazy part?
The pain points are the same ones I’ve seen over and over again for years.

THE BIG IDEA
Real Patterns Don’t Lie

When you start paying attention to what people are actually saying (not just what marketers want you to hear), the real pain becomes obvious.

Here's how I did that today — and what I found.

THE BREAKDOWN
What I Did

✅ Step 1: CRM Review Analysis (TrustPilot + ChatGPT)

• I pulled reviews from 5+ CRMs that painters and small service providers often use (Jobber, DripJobs, ServiceTitan, etc.)

• I dropped those reviews into ChatGPT and asked it to extract common complaints.

• Top patterns that emerged:

  • Repeated unauthorized charges

  • Pushy, overly aggressive sales reps

  • Poor customer support

  • Over-promising, under-delivering

✅ Step 2: Community Mining (Reddit + Gummy Search)

• I started with a subreddit bundle focused on painting businesses.

• Then expanded to broader founder/startup subreddits to increase data volume.

• I searched categories like “Advice” and “Requests”, opened relevant posts, and ran them through ChatGPT to extract bullets.

✅ What Emerged Was Unmistakable:

• Inconsistent or unreliable lead flow

• Unclear sales process (or no follow-up system)

• Employee reliability issues

• Constant firefighting with clients expecting more than what was promised

• Admin headaches stealing time from doing real work

NEXT STEPS
In tomorrow’s video:

• I’ll show you my landing page setup — one I’ve used for other successful projects.

• I’ll talk through:

  • The headline + sub-headline I’m testing

  • How I’m structuring the form and tracking engagement

  • The simple follow-up I'm building (because I want real convos, not just clicks)

This is where we shift from research mode into actual micro-testing.
