CHALLENGES

  • Finn Group were existing Pipedrive clients with some of their team using Salesforce and some using Pipedrive 
  • They were looking to move away from Salesforce entirely to streamline their business, save costs and standardise processes

OUTCOME

  • Hierarchical issues were overcome with the implementation of Motii business broking API layer 
  • A successful Pipedrive/Autopilot integration that deepened the native integration between the 2 platforms 
  • A successful Salesforce to Pipedrive migration with more than 100-million individual records moved

Why Activities Are the Secret Sauce of CRM Success (Especially in Pipedrive)

Why your sales team hates your CRM (...and how to fix it)

A well-adopted CRM is not just a tool—it is part of a larger system that requires strategy, buy-in, and ongoing support. Simply having a CRM in place won’t guarantee success. So before you consider switching systems (or taking on a new one), step back and assess whether your team has the right training, processes, and leadership support to make the most of your existing CRM.
