We ran our consulting pipeline on a shared Google Sheet for two years. It was chaos. HubSpot free CRM gave us a real pipeline view, contact management, and email tracking with zero cost. Deals stopped falling through the cracks. When a prospect opens our proposal email we know to call them within the hour. The ROI on a free tool is literally infinite.
