Pipedrive
A sales-focused CRM built around deals and pipeline stages.
Pipedrive is designed to help salespeople keep leads, deals and next actions visible as opportunities move through a pipeline. It is worth evaluating when the main job is managing a repeatable sales process rather than running an all-in-one marketing platform.
