What is MarketSharp?
MarketSharp CRM is a cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software specifically designed for professionals in the residential remodeling, home improvement, and construction industries. It helps contractors manage their entire business workflow—from generating leads to closing sales, scheduling jobs, and tracking performance.
Two visionaries founded the company behind MarketSharp CRM: Michelle Nowlan and Jason Oefstedahl. They officially launched the business in 1995, building on a foundation that began in the late 1980s. Originally, the software was developed in 1988 by Tim Musch to help his brother’s window installation business. In 1996, Michelle, Jason, and a group of industry professionals brought it to the market under the name MarketSharp

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a ton of free CRMs - why shouldn't I Use One of those?
That’s like asking why you should spend $47 on a mouthwatering filet mignon at a five-star restaurant when you could get a $1 cheeseburger at McDonald’s—the quality isn’t even close.
Think about what you get with a $1 cheeseburger: a single pickle slice, a gelatinous square of processed cheese, and a “beef” patty that’s half the size of the bun. When it comes to free CRMs, you get the same… a few measly low-grade features that provide NOTHING of value.
MarketSharp is the filet mignon of CRM for contractors. It costs a little more, but it’s worth every single penny. When you invest in MarketSharp, you are investing in a quality product that provides you with EVERY feature you need to streamline your business and boost sales. Contractors who use MarketSharp report that it pays for itself dozens of times over each year.
Is MarketSharp Easy to Use?
MarketSharp is designed to make it as easy as possible for “non-techies” to get the hang of quickly. That said, the software does have a slight learning curve. To simplify this learning curve, the MarketSharp team provides a huge number of helpful resources.
When you first sign up, MarketSharp schedules a training session with you. After that, a MarketSharp specialist checks in on you every two weeks for the first four months to ensure you are acclimating to the software.
In addition, they provide you with several helpful documents and videos, and technical support is included with your membership. In summary, the MarketSharp team provides so much help that it’s almost impossible NOT to become an expert.

Will MarketSharp Work on a Tablet?
Yes, you can access MarketSharp’s web app on desktops, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. We also offer mobile applications to support your teams in the field.
How Do MarketSharp User Licenses Work?
