Why I built BrightBoard.

The gap James May kept seeing inside sales teams, the 30 hours a week one sales manager was losing to manual data stitching, and why James still picks up the phone for every demo call.

From the founder

Why I built BrightBoard.

A few years ago I worked with a large info-product business and saw something that surprised me: for all the money they spent tracking their marketing, the sales side was a mess. The data existed, but it was scattered everywhere, and pulling it into something they could actually read took days, sometimes weeks.

I thought it was a one-off. It wasn't. Almost every sales team I've spoken to since has the same problem. The numbers are technically somewhere, but nobody can see how the sales floor is really performing or how it connects back to their marketing, at least not in time to do anything about it.

In 2025 I watched it up close again. A client doing $400K a month had a sales manager spending 30 hours a week just stitching scattered data together by hand. We made that tracking streamlined, clear, and fast enough to actually make decisions on. He got those hours back, and over the time we worked together they scaled to $1.7M a month.

So I built the tool I kept wishing existed. BrightBoard does one thing: live, accurate sales team tracking, connected to your marketing data. The full picture, instead of two disconnected halves.

How we built it different

Four principles every BrightBoard dashboard is built on.

These are the choices that separate sales tracking software you can trust from sales tracking software that just looks pretty.

01

Reconcile to the payment ledger, not the pixel.

Every revenue figure on a BrightBoard dashboard ties back to Stripe (or your processor). If Stripe says you collected $1.4M last month, your dashboard says $1.4M, not $1.7M from a pixel that double-counted. This is what makes the number trustable.

02

Multi-touch attribution, calibrated to your sales cycle.

First-touch, last-touch, linear, and position-based attribution models in marketing, applied to every dollar. We do not pick one model for you. We show you all four and let you decide which one matches the way your team actually sells.

03

Closer performance the rep cannot edit.

Every booked call is mapped to a closer at the moment of assignment. Show rate, set-to-close, time-to-close, and revenue closed flow from the calendar and Stripe, not from a spreadsheet anyone can rewrite at 11pm before the Monday meeting.

04

One source of truth, hourly.

Bookings, calls, contracts, charges, and ad events all reconcile against the same revenue ledger every hour. There is no overnight delay, no manual export, no waiting for the agency to send the report. The number on the dashboard at 9am is the number that just happened.

When I take a call with you

Who I actually want on a call with me.

I run the demo calls myself. Time is the one thing I cannot scale, so here is who I save it for.

Right fit
  • You are doing $50K+/month in revenue with a real sales team or a real funnel.
  • You spend at least $20K/month on paid traffic, or you are about to.
  • You have at least one of: GoHighLevel, Close, Salesforce, HubSpot, Calendly, OnceHub, Stripe.
  • You have made a decision in the last 30 days that you wish you had better data for.
Not yet
  • !You are pre-product-market-fit or under $30K/month. Come back when you have scale. I will help you for free if you email me.
  • !You are looking for a tool you can self-serve install in 20 minutes. BrightBoard is implemented, not installed. Three weeks of real onboarding.
