Best sales CRM for solo makers/small teams?

Hey indies,

I'm doing sales using Apollo.io and Smartlead, for lead gen and emailing. I'm now looking for a CRM to manage/nurture leads effectively. Not too expensive, and practical for a team of 1!

Any tips on which tool to use?

Thanks

    If you have more than 10k mmr - use hubspots free version. I really liked it and you get unlimited contacts.

    If sales are still ramping up, continue to use Notion and use Yesware for emailing or Brevo for CRM

    Cold outreach scales linearly - same effort per reply every week. It's necessary for early traction but the founders who get to $10k+ MRR almost always layer in a compounding channel underneath it. SEO, community, partnerships, or product-led growth.

    What's the channel you're betting on to build independently of your outreach?

    I used the free version of Hubspot but will use Attio next. Nothing wrong with Hubspot just like the vibe Attio has.

    Mathilde, have you found a solution that works for you? I believe I'm looking for the same thing.

      No, I'm simply managing with Notion for now. Let me know if you find something better!
