Turn Every Call Into A Method CRM Contact And Estimate

Marlie AI answers inbound calls, qualifies the customer, and pushes them into Method CRM with two-way QuickBooks sync — so your books and your CRM stay in lockstep.

Method CRM is what QuickBooks-first SMBs use to keep customers, estimates, and invoices in sync. The catch is that estimates and follow-up only happen once a customer is in Method — and most phone leads never make it there cleanly.

Marlie AI sits in front of Method CRM. Every inbound caller is qualified, matched against existing QuickBooks customers, and pushed into Method as a Contact (or Lead) with the call notes, custom field data, and any estimate context attached. Your existing Method workflows and QuickBooks sync take over from there.

What You Get with Marlie + Method CRM

Everything you need to connect your phone calls with Method CRM — fully automated, zero manual work.

Auto-Create Contacts

Every inbound caller is added to Method CRM as a Contact with name, phone, email, and qualifying data — synced to QuickBooks automatically.

QuickBooks Customer Match

Marlie matches callers to existing QuickBooks customers via Method's two-way sync so your books stay clean and AR is never duplicated.

Estimate & Activity Logging

Calls are logged as Method activities on the customer record with summary, transcript, and recording link for every conversation.

Custom App Field Mapping

Method's custom apps mean every business has different fields. Map any call data point into any Method custom app field from the Marlie dashboard.

Smart Deduplication

Returning callers update the existing Method Contact — and the linked QuickBooks customer — instead of creating duplicates.

Real-Time Sync

Contacts and activities appear in Method (and QuickBooks) within seconds of the call ending — no batch jobs, no gaps in your books.
