A Pipedrive Consultant uses their experience from multiple projects and best practices to get you started on the right foot with Pipedrive. They help you avoid common mistakes when setting up Pipedrive and when using Pipedrive daily.

Pipedrive is a sales CRM at its core. If you need a lead management system, where you have to work to close the lead/sale, Pipedrive is perfect for you. Pipedrive also has other modules like Project Management, Email Marketing, Chatbots, Chats, Webforms, etc. that can help you in other areas of your business operations.

Pipedrive has different tiers and the pricing is based on per user per month/year for the Sales CRM module. Additionally, there are certain fixed-cost add-ons for other features (project management, prospector leads, email marketing, etc.) that you can purchase with your Pipedrive subscription.
Pipedrive also offers parity pricing based on your geographical location. So the best option is to check out the pricing on Pipedrive’s pricing page to access the relevant pricing for your location.
