CRM

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management and if used properly, will be the heart of your business. 

You'll store contact details of everyone you interact with in your business (leads, customers, vendors).

The core feature of a CRM is that is tracks all your communication with your contacts automatically. 

If there is turnover in your business, a CRM will help you get up to speed really quickly on where things were left off with each contact. 

You can "pimp out" your CRM with integrations so that when you do something in your CRM, it can trigger another action to happen in another software. For example, you can automatically generate invoices in Quickbooks Online from your CRM or you can log calls and text messages company wide if using a VoIP. These are just two examples among many others. For more inspiration, visit our CRM integration pages.

Google Sheets, Airtable and Notion are not CRM's (they are database tools and will not auto-pull in any communication). 

Examples of good CRMs are Copper, Pipedrive. HubSpot and Salesforce.

Google Sheets CRM: 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Use Sheets As Your CRM

Where do we begin? Google Sheets is a spreadsheet tool, as an alternative to Excel, it works great! We've used it in our own business for any areas that we'd have otherwise used Excel. But for anything that an unstructured spreadsheet isn't good for, we pretty quickly moved everything over to Airtable (but more on that later).
