Spent $600 on a sales CRM, back to my spreadsheet after 3 weeks

The automation hype got me, but I found myself typing the same notes twice anyway, so what are you all using that actually earns its keep under $100 a month?

Have you tried keeping the spreadsheet but adding a simple autoresponder for follow-ups? Most people don't need a full CRM, they need a reminder system and a place to log calls. The problem with those fancy tools is they make you change how you work, when the real fix is just being consistent with what you already do. A cheap tool like a Google Sheet with a few tabs, plus a daily email alert, does ninety percent of what that $600 system did for me. The other ten percent is just discipline, and no software can sell that to you.
