A column-by-column guide to moving a freelance lead spreadsheet into HubSpot's free CRM: what maps to contacts, companies and deals, the import limits on free tools, and where the free plan pushes back.
How freelancers can use Dropbox Sign template links to get standard terms signed before the first call, which documents still need a normal request, and whether Essentials at $15 a month is enough.
How freelancers can use Kit email sequences, tags and visual automations to keep past clients and warm leads in touch, and why the free plan is not enough.
