No nasty surprises, no unpredicted outcomes
Sales pipeline is a great indicator of a company’s health. It can show you the money (that you are going to make in the coming months). Manage your pipeline well and you’ll stay well organized and feel more in control of your sales figures.
In sales, one of the biggest stress factors lies in the uncertainty around whether you'll hit your targets. Every salesperson in the world has had to deal with "The Fear” at some point in their career. While there's no tool or trick that will ever make sales 100% predictable, visibility into your pipeline – and the insight it provides – will help you take the guesswork out of sales forecasting, by giving you three things to build success on: insight, action and prediction.

We know you probably already have a process for selling, but what is it based on? If you're only analyzing your business success by looking at sales revenue, you're missing the big picture. By contrast, the ability to see into each stage of your pipeline, gives you a real-time, holistic view of your business' health.
What’s more, you get this during the sales cycle, rather than after-the-fact. You will learn to tell when your pipeline needs attention, and which deal, or even which stage, has issues to be fixed. If you have a tendency to fall asleep at the wheel, visibility is the wake up call your business desperately needs.
Armed with insight, it’s now time to take action. If you’ve identified an important sale that is stalling, you can give it a jumpstart. If you see that prospects fail to convert at a particular point in the sales cycle, the action you need to take may involve gathering more insight. Either way, you can now direct your team's focus to problems, and coming up with solutions.
We know that in sales you can't control the outcome of deals; the only thing you do control are the actions that ensure the maximum probability of deals closing. Through pipeline visibility you can also see which actions drive deals through the pipeline and which ones are a waste of time.
Nothing in sales is ever a “sure thing”, but pipeline visibility will help you create sales forecasts you could pin your reputation on. If you know you've taken actions that in the past have led to a 20% close rate, and all other factors are unchanged, you should feel confident about replicating that rate with the same actions.
With the power to predict, you can make your sales meetings more productive, and focus on the actions your team needs to take, rather than gathering information that everyone should already have access to.
Love this program. It is the only CRM that I actually want to use. Having a CRM that you don't want to use leads to your team not using it. What's the point of that. Pipedrive is built by sales people, for sales people.
Great product, built to maximize the sales process. CRM built for action.
Easy to use, great visual layout and I love how it automatically pops up to enter a follow-up task when I'm done. It's really changed how we handle leads.
