Which CRM is right for my size?
- Under 10 staff: a spreadsheet or Notion may work
- 10–50 staff: HubSpot Free or Zoho CRM
- Over 50: Salesforce or industry-specific tool
- Wrong CRM = data you never trust

Business Operations
CRM systems, employee scheduling, inventory software — how San Diego operators pick tools without over-complicating their business.
Scheduling software chaos
- Paper and texting breaks at 8+ employees
- Homebase and Deputy work for hourly staff
- Integrations with payroll matter most
- Trial period before you commit
Inventory software: where to start
- Google Sheets until it breaks — then upgrade
- Lightspeed, Cin7, or Shopify POS for retail
- Match to your number of SKUs and locations
- Don't buy more software than you'll use
Real talk: Pick boring tools that your team will actually use. The best software is the one nobody complains about.
