How are spreadsheets killing your
team's productivity?
No lead-to-deal visibility
It's hard for sales reps to have a clear idea of how many deals they are currently working on, and which stage of the pipeline a deal is currently in. Without real-time updates and visual representations of your sales pipeline, deals are easily going to slip through the cracks.
Poor organization of data
Yes, spreadsheets can store data, but that data is seldom organized. There's no way you can establish relational hierarchy of records within your system, which makes it hard and time-consuming for you to access information.
Failure to arrest duplicate entries
If you email or call the same customer twice, your reputation is sure to take a severe hit. And, if you decide to stick with spreadsheets, you're also going to generate a substantial amount of duplicate entries.
More manual data entry
With spreadsheets, the struggle is real when it comes to manual entry of records. There are always going to be instances where you need to bulk edit a set of records (like adding a tag or updating a field), something that is just not possible with spreadsheets.
Security
In the world of GDPR and privacy-first business culture, you simply cannot leave crucial customer data on spreadsheets which can be copied and exported by anyone with access.

Meet Bigin–Bringing spreadsheets-like
simplicity
in CRM
Bigin was built with the sole purpose of bringing more small businesses out of tiresome spreadsheets and providing them with a solution that is simple enough to get started quickly. Even if your team is not yet ready for a full-fledged CRM, don't worry–Bigin has all the features you need to start with the right solution and proceed to a full-fledged CRM as you grow.

Multiple pipelines,
not multiple sheets
Small businesses need visibility of all their deals. Switching between multiple sheets to view your deal information isn't going to help you see your opportunities. With Bigin's multiple pipelines, you can segment your different processes, create different stages for each pipeline based on your business cycle and track every deal to perfection.
Instant communication, without opening another application
With a solution like Bigin, you don't need to have separate apps to send email, call a customer, or tweet your response to a prospect. You can achieve all of that from a single place, unlike spreadsheets which require you to toggle between multiple applications to do even the most basic sales activities.
Forget complex functions. Visualize data with quick charts.
Bigin's easy-to-create charts and KPIs help you see actionable insights from your data. This means that you don't need to remember complex functions to see your sales metrics in the most visually informative way.
