How to create a CRM in Basecamp

I recently made a video about using Basecamp as a CRM. So here's the demo project, with notes below, to show what's possible.

As you can see, it's quite simple.

Triage = Leads
Not now = Lost
Done = Won

1. The rest are my 'stages'. Change them accordingly for you own use-case.
2. Create a card, place all client and project details within.
3. With Basecamp being so versatile, what I like to call a 'blank sheet of paper, you can place any bits of information you like. For instance, budget, deal cost etc.
4. I then use the comment section for each 'client' to add notes.

However, I wouldn't recommend using this method if you're a sales team with multiple members.

Hope that helps.
