Why Google Sheets for Sales Pipeline?

The advantage of a spreadsheet CRM is that it bends to your process, not the other way around. Add a column for whatever your sales process requires — no developer, no support ticket, no waiting for a feature release.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import my existing contacts into this template?

Yes. Export your contacts from your current tool or email client as a CSV and paste the data into the contacts tab. Map the columns once and all existing relationships are immediately visible.

Does this replace dedicated CRM software?

For businesses with under 300 active contacts and a straightforward sales process, yes. For larger teams with complex automation needs, this works well as a lightweight parallel system alongside more powerful tools.

Can I set up automated follow-up reminders?

Automatic reminders require Google Apps Script, but the follow-up date column makes manual review fast — sort by follow-up date each morning and work through the list top to bottom.
