7 Signs You've Outgrown Spreadsheets
sales_leads_v3_FINAL_real.xlsx anyone?
Even with Google Sheets, you lose data when two people edit the same row.
Spreadsheets don't send reminders. Leads go cold.
Pivot tables only go so far. You need a real pipeline view.
Every email requires manual data entry. That's not scalable.
Your spreadsheet has hidden formulas and tribal knowledge.
The tool should help you sell, not create busy work.
Why Not Just Use Salesforce or HubSpot?
You've probably looked at the big CRMs. Here's why they don't work for teams just outgrowing spreadsheets:
- •Salesforce: Costs $165+/user/month, requires a dedicated admin, takes months to implement
- •HubSpot: Free tier is limited, paid plans start at $20/user/month (Starter), automations need $90/user (Pro)
- •Pipedrive: Good, but $49/user/month for the features you need, plus add-on fees
You need something in between—more structured than spreadsheets, simpler than enterprise software.
