Pipedrive, the easy and effective sales CRM for small businesses, today announced that it has received the 2024 Power Partner Award from Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping the future. The annual list by Inc. recognizes the leading B2B companies that have proven track records of supporting entrepreneurs and helping companies grow.

This year’s list recognizes Pipedrive among 359 companies in sales, productivity, marketing and advertising, financial services, legal, logistics, and public relations, as well as other critical areas of business. "Receiving the Power Partner Award is a testament to the dedication of our entire team and the trust our customers place in us. Pipedrive's mission is closely aligned with the goals of this award—to empower small businesses to grow and succeed. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this recognition reinforces our commitment to providing them with easy and effective tools they need to achieve their goals and thrive," said Dominic Allon, CEO of Pipedrive.

Every company on the Inc. Power Partner award list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of small businesses. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of the business, including sales, hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, fundraising, etc., allowing them to focus on their core missions.

“This is our definitive listing of vendors and suppliers who have demonstrated excellence in serving small– and midsize customers,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman. “As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies’ products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience. In every case, we spoke to founders like you who were happy to attest to a vendor’s genuine commitment to a mutually beneficial business partnership. We’re happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth.”

In 2024, Pipedrive focused on leveraging AI in its platform to simplify and enhance the sales experience, introducing new features that enable salespeople to work smarter and more efficiently. Earlier this year, Pipedrive launched Pipedrive AI, designed to eliminate manual work in sales, personalize communication, and provide actionable insights to close deals more efficiently. Powered by OpenAI and internally developed AI software engines, this suite of tools helps save time, improve performance, and enable smarter decision-making in managing the sales workflow.

Building on the success of Pipedrive AI, the company recently introduced Pipedrive Pulse, a tool dedicated to streamlining prospecting. By automating tedious prospecting tasks, Pulse allows small businesses to focus on swiftly closing deals, saving them invaluable time and resources.
