One of the most important operational decisions your firm will make is deciding on the best customer relationship management platform for your business needs. In a competitive, fast-paced market, dealmakers who want to gain an edge should consider a CRM that does more than simply mimic basic Excel capabilities. A static contact database may have been the standard, but complex, relationship-driven deal teams in a digital-first economy need a more robust solution. This is especially true for sophisticated financial and professional services industries such as venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or commercial real estate.
Features such as automation, data capture, and relationship intelligence can make all the difference in your CRM’s functionality, and subsequently in the amount (and value) of won deals.
Because of this, there are many questions to consider before selecting a CRM. When you’re considering a SaaS customer relationship management solution, do you know which features matter the most for your business? How important is pricing and what is your budget? Do you want a dedicated CRM, or a software that includes other functionality, such as HubSpot, which is known for its marketing solution?
Although there are many options for you to pick your CRM system from, like Zoho CRM, Freshsales (by Freshworks) or Salesforce, this guide will focus on comparing features from three of the most popular software solutions on the market: 4Degrees, Pipedrive, and Affinity. By the time you are done reading, you should have a better sense of which of these CRM tools may be right for your firm.
