When to switch from a spreadsheet to a CRM
Spreadsheets are great until they aren't. Five signs your team has outgrown its sales sheet — and how to move in an afternoon.
Five signs you've outgrown the sheet
You have more than one version of the file. Follow-ups rely on memory. Nobody knows who last changed a deal. You can't see a pipeline at a glance. Reporting takes an afternoon every month.
Moving takes less time than you think
Export your sheet as CSV, import it into your CRM and map the columns. Most small teams are fully moved in under an hour — and the history of every change is tracked from day one.
