Paying a fortune for Salesforce? Fix it or leave it.

Before you hire another Salesforce consultant, find out if you should stay at all. We connect what's missing so it finally fits, or move you to a custom CRM you own.

Two paths

Fix it or leave it.

Fix it

Your team likes the CRM, but it doesn't talk to the rest of the business. We build the missing pieces around it and connect them through its own API. You keep Salesforce or HubSpot. Real examples:

  • Website forms that land in Salesforce as leads, already assigned
  • A client portal that shows customers their status, pulled from the CRM
  • An owner dashboard on your phone instead of CRM reports
  • Customers and invoices synced to QuickBooks
  • AI call summaries saved on each customer's record

Leave it

You're paying for a big team and using a fraction of the product. We build a custom CRM around how you sell, move every contact, deal and note over, run both side by side, and then you cancel.

  • No per-seat bill when you hire
  • Your stages, your fields, your reports
  • Changes made by us, not a consultant's next invoice

We're an independent developer, not a Salesforce or HubSpot partner. That's the point: we have no reason to keep you on either.

Moving out

What moves out of Salesforce or HubSpot, and how

What you haveWhat happens to it
Contacts, companies and dealsExported with their history, duplicates merged, imported and counted against the original
Custom fieldsEach one mapped to the new system; the ones nobody filled in are dropped
Workflows and automationsRebuilt to do the same job, usually simpler, and tested with real records
Reports and dashboardsRebuilt as live dashboards on the phone and the computer
Emails, notes and attachmentsMoved over and kept on the same customer and deal
Users and permissionsEach person sees what their job needs, nothing more
Good fit

Who should leave

Leaving makes the most sense when you pay for 10 or more seats, use a small part of the product, and keep paying someone to customize it.

Either way, we'll show you the numbers first. See what custom software costs.

Stay

Who should stay and fix

If you have a full-time admin, use the advanced features, and your team is happy in it, keep it. We'll build the missing pieces around it instead.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

What is a good Salesforce alternative for a small business?

If you need a simple CRM, a lower-priced off-the-shelf tool may be enough. If you need it to work exactly like your business, with your own stages, intake, portal and reports, a custom CRM you own is the alternative, with no per-seat fee.

Can you move our data out of Salesforce or HubSpot?

Yes. Both let you export your records. We map every field, clean duplicates, import into the new system and check the counts before you cancel anything.

Are you a Salesforce or HubSpot partner?

No. We're an independent developer. We can connect to both through their APIs, but we don't resell or earn commissions on either.

Do we have to cancel before you start?

No. Keep paying until the new system is running and your team is using it. We run both side by side first.

How much does a custom CRM cost?

Custom CRMs start at $7,500. Bigger systems with portals, payments and intake are quoted in parts after the $1,500 Systems Audit, which is credited to the build.

Will we lose our email history and attachments?

No. Emails, notes and files are exported with the records they belong to and attached to the same customer and deal in the new system. We check them before you cancel.

Can you just fix our Salesforce instead?

Often, yes. If your team likes it, we build the missing pieces around it, like intake forms, a client portal, a phone dashboard or a QuickBooks sync, and connect them through its API. We're not a certified Salesforce consultant for admin setup inside the platform; we build what goes around it.

Marcos took the time to help us put together a clear plan for our mobile detailing business, SN Elite. We’ve been trying to figure out our next steps, and having someone walk through things with us made a big difference. He’s great at communicating and explaining things in a way that’s easy to understand. We left the conversation with a better idea of what to focus on and where to go from here. Really appreciate his time and guidance. If you’re a business owner needing direction, I’d recommend reaching out to Marcos at Synergy Digital Lab!

Blaine Stratton.★★★★★

I switched my marketing to Synergy Digital Lab specifically for their 'pay-what-you-rank' model. It’s the most transparent SEO service I’ve found - they send a monthly report showing my average keyword rankings and I pay based on those results. It’s great to finally work with a digital marketing firm that focuses on actual ROI instead of just vanity metrics. If you need a web development and SEO partner that delivers, Synergy is the standard. Speak to the founder. Super transparent and helpful If you need a partner that understands data-driven growth and professional execution, this is the firm. Highly recommended for any business looking to scale their online presence.

Working with Synergy Digital Labs has been an incredible experience. They handled all of my marketing and SEO needs with true professionalism.

If you're tired of paying for 'efforts' instead of results, talk to Synergy. Their pay-per-rank system is a game changer for my business. I get clear data every month showing exactly where we stand. Best digital marketing decision I've made.
