With Pipeliner CRM you don’t have to live with a Frankenstein’s Monster of a sales tech stack!
Pipeliner is a top CRM that has all the features and flexibility you can possibly need and still is easy to learn, administer, configure and use
Pipeliner CRM can be as simple or sophisticated as you need it to be. Its features and functionality make it a great CRM at a great price point.
Here is what Pipeliner CRM provides out of the box that most other CRMs (even the biggest and most well-known) only offer as paid third-party apps & integrations…
Relationship Mapping, Org Charts & Buying Center
Included with Pipeliner are the most visual and comprehensive mapping tools, including:
Org Chart
Buying Center
AccountAccount Account refers to a record of primary and background information about an individual or corporate customer, including contact data, preferred services, and transactions with your company. Relationship Mapping
Contact Relationship Mapping
These fully integrated features provide a superior visual & efficient relationship mapping to expensive third-party solutions that require integration into your CRM.
↑ No CRM on the market (including the most established ones) offer this level of visual mapping, instead, they offer less effective and more expensive third-party vendor apps.
RevenueRevenue Revenue is the amount of money a business generates during a specific period such as a year or a quarter; also called sales. Intelligence
You would think that all CRMs would provide dynamic and intelligent revenue insights, but surprisingly, most do not.
Pipeliner in contrast offers a comprehensive suite of revenue intelligence tools:
Set realistic quotas & targets using predictive analyticsPredictive Analytics Predictive Analytics refers to the field or tool that uses historical data, statistical models, emergent trends and other information to formulate an informed forecast about the future, usually with regards to the performance, growth, or feasibility of a business.

Key Account Management
Also surprising is that most CRM systems (even the biggest ones) do not have account management embedded in the system — CRM without account management is like driving a car with one wheel missing.
Pipeliner offers the most comprehensive, visual account management capabilities eliminating the need for additional (expensive) third-party “account management”–specific platforms.
Key accountsKey Accounts Key Accounts are whale spenders or VIP customers prioritized by sales reps and customer success; churn from these clients would be a detrimental loss to the company’s revenue. are 60% to 70% more likely to close, and they spend an average of 33% more than new clients. With those reduced sales costs and increased revenues, key accounts make up the lifeblood of many companies.
↑ We are the first CRM vendor worldwide to include account management in the core system.
Guided Selling
One of the biggest complaints about traditional CRM is lack of consistency (such as when two salespeople with similar opportunities put them in different stages of the pipeline). This is because most CRMs do not support real Guided Selling and cannot mandate actions.
Pipeliner’s Guided Selling capabilities allow you to embed and reinforce best practices and ensure consistency of sales execution.
By adding a Sales Activities Checklist to each step of the Pipeline, you can assist your teams by providing step-by-step guidance using contextualized notifications which give specific suggestions on what actions your users need to take in order to follow your established process/strategy.
Pipeliner CRM has made us analyze our own sales processSales Process Sales Process is a series of strategic steps or a set of activities aimed at driving sales growth through the alignment of personnel, market insight, methodologies, relevant business units, and technology.. We had steps in our sales process but never really thought about them. Then the steps within the steps are also very important and constantly changing in our system.
↑ It’s like having your sales playbook open on the right page to guide their actions every time!

Appointment Scheduler
Let’s face it meetings and appointments are the lifeblood of sales, therefore, a robust scheduling tool is critical. Most CRMs rely on third-party apps for this capability.
Pipeliner, however, has its own embedded scheduling feature where:
Users can create one-to-one and group meetings
Generate a custom URL, share your meeting link in emails, social media posts, and more
Customize the confirmation page to gather pertinent info unique to specific clients
Integration with Outlook and Gmail allows existing appointments to be considered when displaying appointment availability.
Project Management
Effective execution of Sales, Account Management & Customer SuccessCustomer Success Customer Success is a proactive mindset, function, department or strategy commonly adopted by B2B companies to optimize business with customers, reduce churn rate, drive profits and increase the predictability of recurring revenue. is often made up a series of discrete projects (big & small). Traditional CRMs do not have project management capabilities built-in requiring the use of third-party apps.
At Pipeliner we are all about sales execution efficiency which is why we built project management into our core platform.
Users can track the completion status and timeline for each Project, add Objectives (milestones) and create and group Activities within Objectives and then view them in the “Objective View” or in a “Gantt Chart View“.
As margins get squeezed, products get commoditized, and it becomes more difficult to differentiate yourself from a competitor, sales professionals need to think and act more like project managers.
Projects can be linked to an Account and will be visible from the new “Projects” tab that will be available from Account records when Projects are enabled. You can also link each Project to multiple Stakeholders (Contacts).

Our unique Automatizer allows you to use conditions and triggersTriggers Triggers are a set of signals or occurrences that meet certain criteria to be considered an opportunity to make a sale. to automate processes, allowing everyone in sales to focus on more high-value activities.
