Read Between the Lines. We've Got Stuff to Say.

LinearCRM is all about keeping the story connected from one point to the next. Marketing brings them in. Sales keeps things moving. Calls, forms, conversations, appointments, proposals, contracts, and payments add to the story along the way. One line of data. One customer story. A whole lot happening in between.

After 20+ years of working alongside small and medium sized businesses, the team at Water Bear Marketing has a few things to say about what happens in between, too. We're talking CRM, sales, marketing, customer relationships, and the wonderfully messy reality of running a small but mighty business, with practical tips, useful ideas, lessons we've learned, strong opinions, and answers to questions you may or may not have Googled at 11:47 PM. No corporate mumbo jumbo. No fluff for fluff's sake. Just stuff worth reading.

Questions? Good. We Have Answers.

LinearCRM is the customizable, out-of-the-box CRM for small and medium sized businesses. It brings customer records, leads, calls, forms, chats, calendars, proposals, contracts, payments, photos, reporting, and more together so your team can manage the customer journey from one system. Basically, less bouncing around and more knowing what's actually going on.

LinearCRM costs $19.99 per user and includes the full product. No stripped down starter tier. No outrageously priced enterprise tier. No discovering the feature you actually need lives behind another paywall.

About 15 minutes. The LinearCRM Setup Wizard walks you through statuses, phases, purposes, lead types, sources, and other settings without a developer, implementation engineer, or expensive consultant hovering over your shoulder.

That's exactly who we built it for. LinearCRM gives small and medium sized businesses powerful CRM capabilities without enterprise pricing, complicated implementation, or a pile of features you have to pay extra to unlock. Small but mighty, meet your CRM.

LinearCRM is built for small and medium sized businesses that want to keep leads, customers, communication, and day-to-day activity organized without needing an enterprise-sized system to do it. Growing team? Perfect. Multiple departments? We can handle that too. Massive corporation looking for a CRM that requires its own IT team to manage? We may not be your people.

Nope. No annual contract locking you in. We'd rather keep your business because you actually like LinearCRM than because a 47-page agreement says you're stuck with us.

Absolutely. Start a free 7-day trial, get set up, and see how LinearCRM works for your business before paying a dime. Try it. Click around. Kick the proverbial tires.

Yep. Create and send invoices right inside LinearCRM, or charge a card or ACH payment directly from the CRM when you already have the customer's payment information on file. Payments are processed through Stripe, with standard fees of 3.15% + $0.30 for card payments and 1.05% for ACH bank transfers, capped at $10.00. Invoices, payments, and customer activity stay connected in one place. Send the invoice or skip it. Take the payment. Get paid. Beautiful.

That's Walter. He's a water bear, also known as a tardigrade, and he's been the Water Bear Marketing mascot for years. Water bears are tiny, ridiculously resilient, and surprisingly tough. Sound like any small businesses you know? That's why Walter has always felt right at home with us. He represents the small but mighty businesses we built LinearCRM for... and apparently, he's pretty excited about CRM software too. You'll see him popping up from time to time.
