📞 Somewhere along the way, "quick call" started meaning 30 minutes on the calendar and several hours everywhere else. Prep beforehand, cleanup afterward, and a CRM that's somehow always a little behind. None of that shows up on anyone's calendar invite. We asked sales professionals to actually clock the gap between "the call happened" and "the work from the call is done." The numbers are not subtle. 🛠️ We think that gap shouldn't exist, and we're building toward closing it: https://lnkd.in/gGjYzvZW

📝 Every sales rep has a to-do list. Almost none of them agree on what's actually supposed to be first on it. Priorities aren't ranked so much as vibed into existence somewhere between coffee and the first Slack ping. 🤹 We went looking for the exact moment a real plan quietly gives way to "I'll just start somewhere and hope," and it turns out that moment shows up a lot more than anyone would want to admit out loud in a team meeting. Turns out "winging it" isn't a personality trait, it's basically an industry standard 🛠️ We're building something to fix exactly that. More soon: https://lnkd.in/gGjYzvZW

🚨 The deal closed. Then the chaos started. Handoffs. Project delivery. Five different tools all pretending to be one system. On July 28, Stacey Clarke and Bruna Pinheiro are running a live session on turning Pipedrive Projects into an actual repeatable delivery process - deals vs. projects, how to scope and kick off new work, templates that save you from rebuilding everything, and automating the repetitive steps. Free. Live. 2 PM UTC. 🔗Save your seat 👇 https://lnkd.in/g69UPaBH

🤖 Your AI assistant can write your emails, roast your group chat, and debate philosophy at 2am - but ask it about your pipeline and it just goes quiet. Our product manager Maris looked at that gap and said absolutely not. She and the team built Pipedrive MCP: official access so your AI assistant can actually see your CRM data instead of guessing. 📲 Swipe through the carousel to see it in action. Extra sauce in the comments.

🧾 Every sales rep pays a tax that never once shows up on a paycheck, and yet somehow everyone just quietly agrees to keep paying it. Nobody voted on this, there was no memo, it just became the toll for having a CRM. It's paid entirely in hours, not dollars, and the bill lands every single week whether anyone's tracking it or not. We went looking for exactly how much time disappears into that toll before a rep even says hello to a customer, and the number is the kind of thing you read twice. 🛠️ We're building something to shrink that bill.

THAT'S A RED CARD REF... and other things we wish we could yell at our team when they do something wrong. What would your instant red card be?

Most outbound playbooks are built on guesswork: a few cold emails, a singular call and a LinkedIn message if it's an ambitious day. Then when it doesn't work, reps will tweak a CTA and hope.... But what if the real problem is the process itself? Next week, join 30 Minutes to President's Club hosts Nick Cegelski and Armand Farrokh as they break down exactly how to build a high-performing outbound engine from scratch. If you're tired of getting ghosted and single-digit reply rates, then you won't want to miss this. 16 July, 2026 9am PT / 11am CT Register now: https://lnkd.in/esmXTw3m
