Key highlights:
What is Pipedrive CRM?
Whereas some CRMs try to have a wide suite of tools for different teams (marketing, sales, customer support, etc), Pipedrive specifically focuses on being the best CRM for sales. This makes it perfect for small businesses who are looking to step up their sales without breaking the bank.
Understanding the LinkedIn Pipedrive Integration
By connecting LinkedIn to Pipedrive, it’s easier for sales teams to add leads to the CRM and they can rely on the data as it’s kept up to date thanks to Surfe’s LinkedIn integration.
It will save you time on admin, improve the response rate of your outreach, allow you to close more deals, highlighting you as a champion on your team.
Prospecting
LinkedIn is the perfect place for prospecting, as there are hundreds of millions of professional contacts that can be filtered. Once you’ve got a list of qualified leads, you can export it to Pipedrive with one click.
Enrichment
Surfe’s intelligent enrichment cascade allows you to find the professional, validated email addresses of your contacts without leaving LinkedIn. Surfe gives you access to the most powerful databases globally (Apollo, Dropcontact, RocketReach, Hunter) to find the right email, and checks that it’s active so you don’t waste any time.
Outreach
Surfe allows you to insert message templates into LinkedIn messages in one-click and it also syncs all of your conversations into Pipedrive, so you always know where you are in the journey. But if you’re using another tool for your outreach like OutreachIO, Salesloft, or Gmail, you can add them to your cadences or send an email without even leaving their profile.
Insights
Surfe provides you insights on your sales activities on LinkedIn. For example, if you send a message template to 100 contacts on LinkedIn, Surfe will tell you the average response rate so you can compare the performance of each template. We’ll also give you data on the performance across your team such as how many contacts they’ve added to Pipedrive, how many enrichments they’ve made, and more.
There’s no need to change tabs or browsers, no need to grab a notebook, and everything is saved automatically to your CRM. Connecting LinkedIn to Pipedrive can give your team around 2 days back per week.
