Great tool to track everything

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pipedrive is our CRM, we have all the details of our customers in it, starting from when they are cold or hot leads and in the scope of our agents, until they become real clients and in the scope of our customer support.

Pipedrive really changed the way we work for the better

Great value for an easy to use CRM

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pipedrive enables sales organizations, especially startups to easily track their sales deals and follow up on deals in the pipeline. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles, but it doesn't need them. For the price, it's a really great way to stand up a sales organization.

Pros

  • Track deals
  • Create dashboards and reports
  • Assist with deal follow up

Cons

  • Pipedrive is not as strong at marketing in terms of tracking leads
  • Pipedrive does not have the same level of automation as Hubspot

Return on Investment

  • Pipedrive has been valuable for tracking deals and helping us hit our revenue goals.

Easy to utilise CRM with some great features

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Pipedrive as our main CRM system for both business unites. From the side of AQVC Discovery, where I work at the main point is to first track contact and Companies(organisations in Pipedrive) as leads then they get worked by our SDR team and if a call is scheduled a deal is created in Pipedrive pipeline then once client is sold it utilities Pipedrive automations to transfer the deal as a new client in our clients pipeline where all info of the client is attached and client is moved through proper stages. Until renewal or cancellation. Also we use Pipedrive reporting to understand the work done and similar.

Pros

  • Automations
  • Multi organisation setup
  • Detail tracking

Cons

  • Reporting system
  • Integrations

Return on Investment

  • Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
  • We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
  • Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
