Lead tracking software is broken for small teams
Blah blah blah
Let’s get something out of the way: most lead tracking software is built for enterprise. Not you. Not your three-person team trying to wrangle leads between spreadsheets, Slack messages, and a CRM no one logs into.
We’ve been there. We tried the big names. And what did we get?
- Pricing tiers that feel like luxury airline seating
- Attribution buried under 12 tabs and a Salesforce certification
- Sales and marketing playing tag with lead data, never quite on the same page
So we built Trakt to solve one thing well: show you where leads came from.
The cost of bad attribution (in real dollars)
Bad attribution doesn’t just bruise your ego. It empties your wallet.
| Problem | How It Shows Up | Estimated Cost/Month |
|---|---|---|
| Leads disappear into a CRM | Sales “forgets” to follow up | $1,500 lost pipeline |
| No clarity on campaign ROI | You keep spending on what feels good | $2,000 wasted ad spend |
| Sales claims all the credit | Marketing can’t prove its value | $5,000 in budget disputes |
| Multi-touch chaos | Every team has a different source of truth | Productivity: -20% |
| Spreadsheet “CRM” drift | Leads never get qualified or tracked | ??? (just kidding…it’s a lot) |
According to Salesforce, 67% of sales reps don’t consistently log activity in their CRM.
And HubSpot reports only 23% of marketers feel confident in their attribution reporting.
Let’s compare lead tracking software: Who’s it actually for?
| Tool | Best For | Price | Lead Attribution | CRM Integration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trakt | Small teams, agencies | Free–$ | Built-in, visual, no extra tools | Optional, not required |
| HubSpot | Marketing teams w/ budget | $$$ | Advanced, complex setup | Yes (native) |
| Salesforce | Enterprises w/ admin support | $$$$ | Add-on or custom setup | Yes (robust, but clunky) |
| Marketo | B2B marketing ops | $$$$ | Strong, multi-touch | Yes (but needs setup) |
| Google Analytics | Basic website tracking | Free | Last-click default | No (needs integration) |
Why we built Trakt (and who it’s for)
We didn’t set out to build another CRM. We were forced to because the existing tools just didn’t work for the way small teams actually operate.
What CRMs get wrong:
- Assume you’ll train sales to log everything
- Separate marketing and sales into silos
- Treat attribution as a bonus feature
What Trakt does instead:
- Starts with the link. Trakt auto-generates tracked URLs using UTM codes
- Tracks campaign sources directly in your lead forms, no extra pixels or integrations
- Lets sales qualify leads via email (no login required)
- Reports on lead quality, source, and sales outcome in one view
It’s lead tracking software that just works without making your team hate you.
What Trakt actually solves (in chart form)
| Old Way | With Trakt |
|---|---|
| Sales says, “Where’d this lead come from?” | The lead form tells you |
| Marketing asks, “Did that campaign work?” | Every lead is tagged with UTM source |
| Nobody updates CRM | Sales can qualify from their inbox |
| Attribution takes 5 tools and 3 people | You get clear source-to-sale data, instantly |
| Campaigns are “fire and forget” | You know which channels drive $$ |
Try Trakt
If you’re a 3-person startup, boutique agency, or scrappy marketing team, you shouldn’t need a CRM onboarding manual thicker than your pitch deck.
Trakt gives you clarity, not complexity.
Try Trakt and see where your leads are really coming from.
