Migrating Off the Spreadsheet Without Ripping Out QuickBooks
The #1 objection to new contractor software isn't price — it's migration pain. The winning move is layering follow-up automation on top, not replacing everything.
Spreadsheets work until they don't
Most 1–15 tech shops start in Google Sheets. The breaking point is when open leads outgrow one person's memory — not when accounting needs ERP.
Layer automation, don't rip and replace
Keep QuickBooks for books. Keep Jobber for scheduling if it works. Add speed-to-lead and quote follow-up without migrating ten years of history on day one.
Import open pipeline only
You don't need every dead lead from 2019. Import what's still winnable and automate from there.
