Everything you need to launch a working Sales CRM — prioritized by impact, sequenced by complexity. Built for Founders and developers building sales tools for specific niches or as internal tools who want to ship fast and own everything.
Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.
Launch blockers — build these first
Drag-and-drop deals across pipeline stages. Customize stages per team or product.
Store contacts, link to companies, track all interactions and notes in one place.
Send emails from inside the CRM. Track opens, clicks, and log all replies automatically.
Schedule calls, meetings, and follow-ups. Get reminders so nothing falls through.
High value — ship in week 2
Pipeline value, won/lost rates, rep performance, and monthly revenue forecasts.
Embeddable forms that automatically create leads in the CRM when submitted.
Post-launch polish and extras
This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:
Solves the core problem Founders and developers building sales tools for specific niches or as internal tools face every day
Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome
Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay
Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2
Can be shipped in 2–4 weeks with LaraCopilot
"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."
For a Sales CRM, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
