Pipedrive’s sales prospecting tools

Two of the most useful and best sales prospecting tools are lead prioritization and a hub for lead management. Pipedrive’s software prospecting tools summarize lead engagement and tell you which actions to prioritize.

Prioritize and engage with leads

Many sales professionals struggle to identify and prioritize leads effectively, leading to wasted time and missed opportunities.

Without a clear understanding of prospect engagement and buyer intent, it’s difficult to know which leads are most likely to convert, resulting in inefficient sales efforts and lost revenue.

By training and expanding our AI model on factors like email interactions, we provide users with metrics to understand their prospects' engagement and buyer intent.

These metrics enable them to focus on the right prospect at the right time, improving their chances of closing deals and maximizing efficiency.

Pulse is currently available only in beta and in English.

Which features to look for in the best sales prospecting tools

The best sales prospecting software should offer a range of features to help you more efficiently capture new prospects.

Focus on the right prospect at the right time thanks to AI

Find your most engaged prospects with AI engagement scoring and zero in on the ones with the highest intent.

AI engagement scoring reduces the risk of human error and enhances customer engagement strategies, leading to better customer experiences and improved business outcomes.

Using AI to rank leads allows you to prioritize your workflows. You can also easily scale engagement scoring across a growing customer base without compromising on accuracy or efficiency.

A streamlined action feed for seamless lead management

Take action and follow up with your most engaged prospects with an AI action feed designed to boost your efficiency.

The action feed will show activities you need to focus on, with a time or date when each task is actionable. These actions include activities, emails and deals to prioritize. You can manually mark and unmark tasks you’ve completed, and the feed will notify you about overdue actions.

For each selected actions list, you’ll see a progress bar with the total amount of actions to complete and how many you’ve done so far. Actions can be associated with an engagement score – this score is presented visually for either low, medium or high opportunity.

Optimize your workflow with AI-powered deal summaries and secure data management

Generate deal summaries

AI-generated deal summaries optimize workflows and improve individual and team performance. They provide a quick overview of past interactions and will help you take immediate action on deals. Quickly understand a deal’s context at a glance, spend less time on past interactions and be more productive. Think of them as a hub for your customer engagement.

Tailored data at your fingertips

Enrich customer data with customizable deal fields. Get accurate, detailed summaries that include key information like emails, notes and deal history.

Maintain control of sensitive data

Admins manage who can edit customer data. Strict access controls are implemented, limiting who can view or interact with sensitive data. Role-based access control ensures that only authorized personnel have access to the data they need to perform their job functions.

Effortless conversations with AI

Keep the conversation going

Use this AI feature to generate emails based on the context of the current email thread. It effortlessly analyzes the conversation, providing relevant and coherent email reply suggestions that fully align with the ongoing discussion.

Automation that stays personalized

Our AI engine reviews threads to identify context and options for the best possible reply. It scans email conversations to understand the key details, crafting replies that are both relevant and personalized, saving you time while keeping a human touch.

Stay focused throughout the workday

Experience an AI-powered email reply feature that helps you maintain focus throughout the workday. Instead of devoting precious time to writing back-and-forth emails, you can quickly generate appropriate responses to keep conversations moving, freeing you from the burden of constant drafting and revising and allowing you to focus on more high-impact activities.

Overall, I am a forever-user of Pipedrive. The value of the product supremely outweighs the amount required to pay monthly. And with such an active development team, it is always exciting to see what is rolling out each couple of weeks! Pipedrive has evolved from a "light" CRM to a full-features CRM with a light feel. It is an excellent CRM tool.

Very happy so far with Pipedrive - agonised initially about using it because of weaker marketing automation features and 1000 email limit on emails, but still its quick and easy to use and less 'how do you do that' than any of the other five or so CRM's we experimented with.

Pipedrive is a super easy-to-use, customizable CRM alternative for those of us in tech, creative industries, or just anyone that hates clunky, ugly, overly complex platforms like Salesforce. Sets up in seconds, there's a great iOS app, and it's actually a pleasure to use. Quick and easy.

Pipedrive has been an overall success for our small team's use case, however we have other CRM installations that require a lot more personnel to administer. As a result of Pipedrive's enhanced exposure in our transactions, we saw an increase in sales.

This is by far one of the best CRM’s I’ve ever used. Have used HubSpot and many others, which were a lot less user-friendly and way more expensive.
