CRM companies are a major player today, marking the difference between a company doing okay in its numbers and one performing fantastically and making its mark in the world.

CEO of Pipedrive, Timo Rein, argued that the software is the easiest way to visualise sales process and follow-up with the right activities, assuring a constant growth in closing rates.

“Back in 2010, me and my co-founder, both seasoned sales managers, realized that the CRM landscape was populated by software designed to please the top brass while ignoring the needs of the people doing the actual selling. So we partnered with talented developers to create a CRM that puts the needs of salespeople first.”

HubSpot CRM

Launched in 2014, the product tracks and manages the relationship between companies and their customers and prospects. Allowing people to measure and review their sales team productivity, forecast revenue and revenue sources, it is an excellent way to get around the complex world of customer relationships.

Founded by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah, HubSpot is unique in that it attempts to give all its clients and customers an all-in-one approach. Its strength lies in all its marketing tools coming together as one holistic approach to customer relationship management.

Salesforce CRM

Salesforce is as enticing as their introductory videos make them seem. This company is constantly finding new and innovative ways of tracking customer data which can later be re-packaged as a great marketing opportunity.

Need to know high-demand areas for taxis and low-traffic routes? Salesforce record this data for you. Worried your child might get close to the house’s heating system, or that it may be faulty anyway and in need of replacement? Salesforce are happy to take this data and measure temperatures in the house to ensure everything is okay.

What can be done with this multi-cloud miracle when under their clientele is nothing short of incredible. Salesforce is always providing an entry to new and renewed relationships with customers.

Freshsales

A company that tries to think outside of the (data) box as well as within it, Freshsales offers better built-in calls, targeted emails and gives you a look into the most effective approach one can take for conversations, getting smarter with engagement, context and planned aspects of dialogues.

CEO and founder Girish Mathrubootham explained some of the more psychological aspects behind the success of his great company:

“We had to evaluate event analytics tools to track user behaviour and see if people performed around 8-10 important actions during the trial. We didn’t find anything that worked for us so, we built our own event tracking module that let our salespeople to choose an account and look up what features it had enabled. Armed with this knowledge, they started having the right conversations with customers.”

“A few years ago, 90 percent of our users on Nimble were on Gmail and GSuite. Now, more than half are on Office 365. If you look at the numbers, there are 160 million plus Office 365 users, billions of users, and 100 of thousands of resellers. Microsoft has really come to dominate this area. We’re in the adoption phase. Some businesses are using cloud, but most are not. As business onboard to the cloud for email, they’ll eventually move there for servers. When they do, they will end up in the Microsoft bucket.”
