Inherit vs. Google Sheets

Google Sheets handoffs leak context. Inherit captures it.

Spreadsheet handoffs require manual data entry, go stale the moment they're created, and give incoming reps a list of accounts — not a brief on how to win them.

Manual data entry, manual errors

Every field in a Google Sheet has to be typed by a human. Typos, omissions, and outdated values are the rule, not the exception — and there's no validation to catch them.

🔗

No CRM sync — ever

Google Sheets has no native connection to HubSpot or Salesforce. The moment you copy data in, it's already out of date. Deal stages change; your Sheet doesn't.

⏱️

Goes stale immediately

A handoff Sheet created on Monday is inaccurate by Wednesday. There's no mechanism to refresh it, no alert when something changes, and no version that's definitively current.

📋

Data without context

Columns tell you what. They don't tell you why. A Sheet gives the incoming rep a list of accounts — not an understanding of relationship dynamics, pending commitments, or deal risk.

We used to paste everything into a Sheet and call it a handoff. The new rep would spend their first week just decoding what the columns meant.
