🤝 About CRM Mates

We're Not a Tech Company
That Learned Business.

We're a business consultancy that learned technology. There's a difference — and it's why our clients trust us to make AI practical, not just impressive.

Our Story

From CRM to AI — 20 Years in the Making

CRM Mates was founded by Deepak K. Rana with a single purpose: to make enterprise-grade technology accessible to small and growing businesses. What began as Salesforce consultancy has evolved into a full AI automation practice — because that's where the greatest opportunity for business transformation now lies.

Over two decades, we've helped businesses across the UK implement technology that actually gets used — by training, supporting and consulting alongside our clients, not just delivering and disappearing.

Today, CRM Mates helps SMEs and specialist businesses deploy AI agents that answer calls, manage social media, handle emails, take bookings and qualify leads — automatically, affordably and without a technical team on the client side.

Our Values

What We Stand For

🎯

Outcome-Led

Every product recommendation starts with the business result you want — not the technology we want to sell.

🔍

Honest

We tell clients where AI will genuinely help — and where it won't. Trust is the foundation of every relationship.

Practical

No 6-month projects for things that should take 5 days. We move fast, deliver quickly and iterate with you.

🤝

Partnership

We treat every client as a Mate — not a ticket number. Long-term relationships built on results, not contracts.

🇬🇧

UK-Based

We understand UK business, UK compliance and UK client expectations. No offshore support desks.

📈

Always Improving

AI evolves fast. We stay ahead of it — so our clients always have access to the latest capabilities.
