I use Brivity - each transaction has our checklist with dates each item is to be completed, then the date completed. I can track the business in Brivity, SkySlope, DocuSign or ZipForms.

Not sure what a spread sheet would do for me. I keep a file summarizing each transaction in a folder each year. I can pull up a summary of my business in different variations from my company's intranet site.

There is the 'in' and the 'on' business that needs a little tracking.

Spreadsheets are essential for tracking the 'in' business transaction.

The 'on' business tracking requires a different set of outside resources.

Praful Thakkar I do the same. I make up an Excel spreadsheet with milestones to track every transaction. I also give a copy to my clients so they have an idea what has to be done to complete a successful transaction.
