CRM for Consultants

Track relationships, manage your pipeline, and land engagements — without the overhead of enterprise software.

Sound familiar?

Your sales cycle is 3-6 months long and you keep losing track of where things stand.

You're managing relationships in your head, your inbox, and maybe a spreadsheet.

The CRMs you've tried were built for high-volume sales teams, not relationship-driven consulting.

You need something simple but not simplistic — and every tool seems to be one or the other.

You've abandoned at least two CRMs because they took longer to maintain than they saved.

What Vigdis gives you

A pipeline view that handles long, non-linear sales cycles

Contact records with full interaction history — no more digging through email

Custom fields for engagement types, rates, contract values, and key dates

Relationship tracking across organizations and decision-makers

Quick enough to update between calls so you actually keep it current

Works for solo consultants and small firms alike

Consulting is a slow game

You don't close a consulting engagement in a week. You meet someone at a conference. You have a coffee. You send a follow-up article. Three months later they mention a challenge. You propose a scope. Two months after that, procurement gets involved. Six months in, you've got a signed SOW.

That's not a funnel. It's a relationship that evolves over time. And most CRMs have no idea what to do with it. They want you to move a deal from "Stage 1" to "Stage 2" to "Stage 3" like you're assembling a car. Consulting doesn't work that way.

The tool graveyard

Every consultant has a graveyard of abandoned productivity tools. The CRM you set up in January and stopped updating by March. The project management tool that was overkill for one person. The note-taking app that became a junk drawer. The pattern is always the same: the tool requires more discipline to maintain than you get back in value.

Vigdis is built to break that pattern. Not by being magic, but by being minimal. You can add a contact in seconds. You can update a deal status between calls. You can jot a note after a meeting and actually find it later. The bar for "worth maintaining" is deliberately low — because a CRM you actually use beats a sophisticated one you don't.

Your network is your pipeline

In consulting, everything comes from relationships. A past client recommends you. A former colleague calls with a project. Someone you met at a talk three years ago finally has budget. Your network is your business development engine, and you need a way to keep it warm.

That means knowing when you last talked to someone. Remembering what they told you about their priorities. Having a system that nudges you when it's been too long since you reached out to an important contact. Not an AI that writes your emails for you — just a clear, honest record of your relationships.

Simple doesn't mean basic

There's a difference between simple and simplistic. Simplistic means "we left out the things you need." Simple means "we thought hard about what matters and cut everything else." Vigdis gives you custom fields, flexible pipelines, and a proper contact timeline. It just doesn't give you a campaign builder, a chatbot, or a "customer success" module — because you don't need those things. You need a CRM that respects your time.
