Gone are the days when you didn't know why you couldn’t close deals.

You had to spend countless hours trying to decode client notes, which you created manually by listening to calls, or plugin live. You had no track of calls, follow-ups, or action items. In your google search, you only found what was available online, you had no idea what was going on internally.

With Convin- an AI-powered conversation intelligence platform, you can relax as all your calls are not only recorded and transcribed but also analyzed automatically.

Once you start snagging deals with Convin for your inside sales teams, you can multiply the number with a simple addition in your sales tech stack

And the change is simple. Make your CRM talk to the conversation intelligence tool at Convin. 

Why do I integrate my CRM tool with Convin?

The reason is straightforward but needs a little elaboration.

In terms of coaching and increasing sales teams' productivity, conversation intelligence solutions are powerful assets. 

Salespeople increasingly use the tool to their advantage to nail the follow-up calls and big fishes in the future. However, wouldn't it be best to view your clients' data across the board in the CRM?

However, today we’ll like to shed some light, specifically on one CRM solution that has the potential to help you sell 28% more- Pipedrive.

What is the Pipedrive CRM solution?

The Pipedrive CRM and pipeline management app is a web-based system.

With Pipedrive, you can visualize your sales pipeline and make sure that you don't miss important activities or conversations.

Pipedrive’s popularity is derived from its intuitive, straightforward, and easily customizable functionalities. Managers appreciate it as well since it eliminates nagging their employees. 

It also sports built-in forecasting, integrations with other software such as Google Apps, Convin, Zapier, etc. 

In contrast to some CRMs and platforms, Pipedrive is designed to scale and grow your business.

What happens when you integrate Convin with Pipedrive? 

You can automatically create a task in Pipedrive without any human intervention. 

Let's take a look at how you can integrate Convin with Pipedrive step-by-step: 

  1. After the sales guy gets on a call with the prospect/client, the Convin assistance is activated and the call is automatically recorded by Convin. The transcription and analysis are ready to be consumed by all Convin users. 
  1. As soon as the call is completed, a task is automatically logged in Pipedrive against the relevant lead, contact, account, and opportunity record in the CRM. 

   
Following a call, Convin can automatically push a completed task to the appropriate Pipedrive account. This task will contain the following data points:
1. Recorded call link
2. Topics Discussed
3. Action items/Next Steps
4. Competitor discussed
5. The overall sentiment of customer

3. There’s a chance that your sales rep may have created a task in Pipedrive before joining the meeting. In such cases, there are 2 possibilities- First, a new task is created with all the data points from Convin or the original task will get updated with Convin’s data. You can discuss your preference during the onboarding phase.

4. Your reps are free to edit the existing task on Pipedrive to add more details.
