New York, June 19, 2026 – Pipedrive, the easy and intelligent CRM for small and medium-sized businesses, has been named Best Sales CRM in the 2026 CRMmys Awards, an awards program by CRM.org that recognizes excellence across the customer relationship management industry.
The award recognizes Pipedrive's commitment to helping growing sales teams achieve stronger results through an intuitive, effective CRM built around the way salespeople actually work. Designed specifically for SMBs, Pipedrive combines visual pipeline management, workflow automation, AI-powered capabilities and sales reporting tools in a platform built to bring out the best in sales teams.
"Salespeople shouldn’t have to fight their CRM to close a deal. We built Pipedrive to eliminate the friction that slows growing teams down and replace it with pure momentum. Being named Best Sales CRM validates our core belief: that powerful technology should feel effortless, allowing teams to focus less on admin and more on winning," said Joe Futty, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Pipedrive.
Customer-reported outcomes highlight the impact of Pipedrive's approach. Businesses report closing deals 47% faster, increasing the average value of won deals by 20% and winning 2.7 times more deals. New customers also report adding 86% more deals to their pipelines in their first year on the platform. These results reflect Pipedrive's focus on removing friction from the sales process and helping sales teams spend less time on administration and more time building customer relationships, managing opportunities and closing deals.
