ConnectMachine turns every job site into captured leads. The neighbor who stops to watch scans your QR code and shares their real contact in a second, with no paper card to lose. You add a voice note on the project they want, and every lead lands in one organized list you export to a CSV, or sync to your CRM on a paid plan.
Carpentry runs on word of mouth, and the word usually starts on the job. The neighbor leans over the fence while the deck goes up, the homeowner's brother asks who is doing the trim, a guy at the lumber yard likes your truck wrap. Meeting them was never the hard part. Remembering who wanted what, by the time you finish the job you are already on, is.
Lead capture with ConnectMachine closes that gap. Instead of a paper card that rides through the wash in someone's jeans, every person you meet scans a QR code, shares their real contact, and becomes a searchable lead with a note attached, ready to call the day a slot opens up.
Why the job-site lead never called you back
The neighbor who admired the deck meant it. But you were up on a ladder, so you called your number down, they typed it wrong or never saved it, and the paper card you handed over went soft in the rain. A week later they hire the guy whose card was already stuck to the fridge.
The problem was never interest, it was capture. A number shouted from a ladder or a card that gets tossed gives you no record of who they were, no note on the job they wanted, and no way to find them again when your schedule opens up. By the time you think to follow up, you cannot remember the name, let alone the work.
- A number shouted from a ladder that never got saved right.
- A paper card that went through the wash or got tossed.
- No note on the job they actually wanted built.
- No way to find them again when your calendar clears.
Set up your job-site card in five minutes
Your ConnectMachine card carries a QR code you can stick on the truck, the yard sign, or the bottom of every invoice. Turning it into a lead-capture tool takes a few minutes and no extra gear.
- Build your carpenter card with your photo, phone, a link to your Instagram or portfolio, reviews, and a save-my-contact button.
- Add your license or credential info and a review-link button so a new lead trusts you on sight.
- Download your QR code as a print-ready file and put it on the truck, the yard sign, and your invoices.
- When someone asks who is building that, have them scan it to get your portfolio link and your number.
- As they scan, they can share their own contact back, so you capture a real lead in one tap.
There is nothing for them to install. The QR opens your card in their browser, so even someone who is no good with phones can tap through to your finished decks on Instagram and share their contact back in seconds, with nothing to download.
Capture the job, not just a name
A name and a number tell you nothing about the work. The value is in the context, and the moment to catch it is while it is fresh. The second they walk off, hold the phone up and record a ten-second voice note on their contact.
"Neighbor two doors down, wants a matching deck next spring, already has the posts, worried about the slope." That note turns a cold number into a job you can actually bid, and it takes less time than digging a pencil out of your bags.
- The job they want built, from a deck to built-ins to a door repair.
- Their timeline, like next spring or before the holidays.
- The site details you clocked, like the slope, the alcove, or the old posts.
- Anything personal worth a mention when you call them back.
By the weekend, a booked pipeline instead of scraps of paper
A busy week of jobs should end as a clean list of leads, not a fistful of receipts and napkins with numbers scrawled on them. Every contact you capture lands in one place with its note attached, and from there it flows into the tools you already run.
- Review the week's captured leads while the conversations are still fresh.
- Export the list to a CSV on any plan, or sync straight to your CRM on a paid plan.
- Your notes ride along with each contact, so nothing gets retyped and no job is forgotten.
- Set your callback order by who is ready to build now, not by who you happened to meet first.
Follow up on the exact job they asked about
This is where captured leads turn into booked work. Because every contact carries a note, your callback names the exact deck, the exact built-ins, and the timeline they cared about, instead of a generic 'just checking in' that could have gone to anyone.
Later, when your schedule opens up, you do not have to rack your brain for who to call. Ask the AI Concierge in plain words, 'who wanted a deck in the spring?' or 'who did I meet on the Maple Street job?', and it pulls the list from your own captured leads in seconds. The neighbor you met in April is still working for you in July.
Lead capture beyond the job site
The job site is the obvious moment, but the same card captures leads everywhere you already work. One QR code covers the whole business.
- At a home show or county fair booth, where you turn foot traffic into real contacts.
- On the estimate walkthrough, to capture the homeowner and note the job on the spot.
- At the supply house and on the job, where you scan the cards GCs and suppliers hand you into searchable contacts.
- In your text signature and on your review page, so online interest is captured too.
Every one of those contacts lands in the same organized list, with the same notes and the same search, so your whole pipeline lives in one place instead of scattered across your truck, your texts, and your memory.
