Freelance CRM Developer in Chicago

Freelance CRM developer for Chicago, United States: CRM set-up, pipelines and automation. Planned for CCPA/CPRA and state privacy laws and local payments.

Overview

CRM set-up and custom pipelines (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce or custom) — lead capture from every channel, automated follow-ups and dashboards your sales team will actually use. Projects for Chicago run remotely with a fixed daily call window — 08:00–11:00 your time (19:30–22:30 IST). Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

United States-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Chicago have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

State privacy laws (California CCPA/CPRA and a growing list of other states): There is no single federal privacy law — COPPA covers children’s data, CAN-SPAM covers email and TCPA covers SMS.
Channels that matter most in the United States: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
