Connecting Your Sales Pipeline, Proposals, and Job Finances with PLMBR's AI Agent

The Bottleneck in Your Business

You close a kitchen remodel. The proposal goes out. The client says yes. Now the job number lives in one tool, the cost codes in another, the invoice in a spreadsheet, and the follow-up email in your inbox. By the time the first change order hits, nobody can trace the original scope, the approved markup, or where the margin actually stands.

For a general contractor running multiple projects, the gap between "we sent the proposal" and "the books reflect this job" is where money and attention leak. Your estimator builds a cost-coded quote, your project manager tracks milestones, and your bookkeeper reconciles invoices—each in a different system, each waiting on the other.

PLMBR's contractor workspace is built to close that gap. Our AI agent, Felicity, works across the sales pipeline, proposal drafting, project execution, and QuickBooks sync in one system, so the numbers that leave your office as a proposal are the same numbers that land in your books as revenue. PLMBR for your business positions this as a single AI-run system replacing the separate CRM, project tool, and spreadsheet you stitch together today.

How PLMBR AI Agents Help with This Workflow

Felicity is the AI office manager for contracting firms. Here is what the documented workflow looks like, step by step:

• Pipeline to proposal. Felicity tracks your sales pipeline from lead to deal. When a lead is ready, she drafts the proposal using your cost codes, your markup, and your line items—learned from your own past jobs. The output mirrors the proposal you would build by hand. PLMBR contractor page

• Client conversation and follow-up. Connected to your Gmail, she drafts follow-ups and status updates in your voice. She chases open proposals and keeps every client posted on where their job stands. PLMBR contractor page

• Project execution. Once the job is approved, she coordinates schedules, milestones, change orders, budgets, and margins across your subs, vendors, and office admins. PLMBR contractor page

• Job finances to QuickBooks. Every job, expense, and invoice flows into the QuickBooks you already run. The source describes this as automatic sync with no bookkeeping required on your end. PLMBR contractor page

• You approve every send. Nothing reaches a client and no invoice moves until you tap approve. She drafts and queues; you decide what goes out. PLMBR contractor page

The through-line: the cost codes in your proposal, the margin tracked during the build, and the invoice in QuickBooks are the same numbers, visible on one canvas.

The Business Inputs and Existing Tools to Discuss During Onboarding

Before Felicity can draft a proposal that looks like yours, we need to understand your business. During onboarding, plan to walk through:

• Your cost codes and markup structure. Felicity learns from your past jobs to replicate your exact line-item format and pricing.
• Your Gmail. Client conversations and follow-ups route through the email you already use.
• Your QuickBooks file. Every job, expense, and invoice syncs into the QuickBooks you already run.
• Your supplier accounts. Felicity can order materials from your own supplier accounts while building an estimate, on her own or with one-button approval.
• Your current pipeline. Existing leads, open proposals, and active jobs so the canvas reflects your real book of work.

You do not need to migrate your books or change your accounting. The source is explicit: she replaces the software, not your books. PLMBR contractor page

Workflow at a Glance

Owner Review, Exceptions, and Human Takeover

PLMBR is approval-gated by default. Felicity drafts and queues; nothing goes out under your name until you tap approve. The queue shows the full email or invoice, and you can approve, edit, or reject before a word reaches a client. PLMBR contractor page

For exceptions—say a client requests a scope change that shifts your margin, or a vendor quote comes in above budget—Felicity flags the issue. The source notes she watches every job for budget overruns, missed permits, and slipping schedules, and flags them before they cost you. PLMBR contractor page

You remain the decision-maker. If you want to handle a client conversation yourself, you can. Talk to Felicity in plain language, in the app or over email, and she takes the action for you inside PLMBR. PLMBR contractor page

An Illustrative Job: What to Test in a Demo

This is a demonstration scenario, not a customer case study. The job and inputs below are invented for evaluation purposes.

Scenario: A homeowner in your service area requests a full bathroom remodel. You send a walkthrough, capture the scope (tile, vanity, plumbing rough-in, electrical for a new exhaust fan), and the client wants a proposal by Friday.

Customer inputs to bring to the demo:

• A short email from the client describing the scope and asking for a quote
• Your standard cost codes for tile, plumbing, electrical, and labor
• Your typical markup percentage for this job type
• A sample of how you write follow-up emails to clients

Questions to test in the demo:

• Can Felicity draft a cost-coded proposal from the walkthrough notes and my cost codes?
• Does the draft show my markup and line-item format, or a generic template?
• If the client replies with a change (e.g., "swap the vanity for a double-sink"), does the proposal update and wait in my approval queue?
• Once I approve and the job starts, does the budget and margin track on the same canvas?
• When the final invoice is ready, does it sync to my QuickBooks file?

You are evaluating whether the workflow matches how your office actually runs. If a step does not match, that is a conversation for the demo, not a reason to walk away.

How to Evaluate This Workflow

Does PLMBR replace my current CRM and project management tool?

The source describes PLMBR as your sales CRM and construction-management software in one, run by Felicity. PLMBR contractor page Whether that covers every function in your current stack depends on your specific workflow. Bring your current tool list to the demo and ask which tasks map to which PLMBR feature.

Will my QuickBooks file stay intact?

The documented behavior is that every job, expense, and invoice flows into the QuickBooks you already run, with no bookkeeping required on your end. PLMBR contractor page Verify in the demo that the sync direction and data fields match how your accountant expects to see them.

Can I see a proposal before it goes to a client?

Yes. The source states that nothing reaches a client and no invoice moves until you tap approve, and the queue shows the full content for you to approve, edit, or reject. PLMBR contractor page In the demo, ask to see the approval queue with a sample proposal and a sample follow-up email.

How does Felicity learn my cost codes and markup?

The source says she builds proposals using your cost codes, markup, and line items learned from your own past jobs. PLMBR contractor page Ask in the demo how many past jobs or line items you need to load before the drafts match your format.
