SOFTWARE FEATURE

Contact management

Your contacts are at the core of your customer communication process. Each represents an opportunity that you need to tend to and follow up with to grow your business and close more sales. Pipedrive keeps your contacts organized by dividing them into “people” and “organizations” categories. Once added, you can link your contact to deals they’re associated with.

Pipedrive also lets you look at the bigger picture by presenting a visual history of all your calls, emails and activities with any particular contact or deal, making it even easier to check last conversations before following up.

Includes:

Qualify leads

Close more deals

Contacts map

See where your contacts are located with the Google Maps integration and filter them by city, state and country

Contact timeline

Use a visual representation of your activities with contacts over time for follow up

File attachments

Attach an important file to your deals or contact persons for context

SOFTWARE FEATURE

Email inbox

Being affordable, accessible and quick makes email most salespeople’s channel of choice. Still, to deliver results, an email needs to be targeted, engaging and personalized. A CRM must, therefore, offer you features to help you zero in on the hottest leads, collaborate with your sales team and engage better and quicker with different target groups.

Pipedrive’s email inbox, for example, includes some nifty sales-dedicated features like

SOFTWARE FEATURE

Scheduler

You’ve engaged with your lead and are ready to set up a call with them. While you can always send a message asking “When’s a good time for you to schedule a call,” you may very well not get a reply. Then, there’s the scheduling part. Scheduling a time that fits both parties might cost you valuable time, energy and, the worst part, risk your sale.

With Pipedrive, you can set up meetings in one take by sharing your availability and letting your invitee book a time that works for you both. Simply set your availability, share a link and invite them to book meetings that automatically sync to your calendar. You can also automatically set up video calls for scheduled meetings via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet.

SOFTWARE FEATURE

Call contacts from your CRM

Calling your prospect is the moment of truth. Now is your time to shine and make it work! At this critical stage, it’s important to have easy access to data and record the call.

With powerful telephony integrations available on our Marketplace, you can make sales calls directly from the web for fast call tracking, recording and insights. Contact leads directly from within your CRM in just a few clicks. Hands-free calling means you can take notes, check details and talk simultaneously. Pipedrive automatically logs your calls as completed activities under deals, so you can see exactly when you contacted a prospect. You can also double-check call recordings saved under deals from previous conversations and download them as audio files if enabled by an admin.
