Pipedrive Launches Next Generation of Industry’s #1 User-Rated CRM Software: New AI Sales Assistant Will Help Salespeople Close Hottest Deals Faster

Published

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

Pipedrive today announced that it has added powerful new capabilities to its #1 user-rated CRM software [1] to help salespeople get more qualified leads into the pipeline and take quicker action on the most promising deals. Highlights include: a powerful AI sales assistant that continuously gathers data on deals and sales activities and prompts salespeople to take the “next best” action to move the hottest deals forward; a more flexible user interface that enables salespeople to customize their view of deals in the pipeline to more closely mirror their sales process; and more robust performance dashboards and reporting that let sales managers coordinate the activities of sales teams to close more deals and grow revenue faster. These additions enhance the ease of use that is a hallmark of Pipedrive.

“At Pipedrive, we believe the primary purpose of a CRM for sales is to enable salespeople to be more effective at engaging with customers throughout the sales process to move deals closer to completion,” said Timo Rein, CEO of Pipedrive. “There is a famous quote: ‘Nothing happens until someone sells something.’ Without prospecting, lead generation, follow-up, and closing sales, a sales manager has nothing to manage and nothing to report. So, first and foremost, we design every Pipedrive plan from the salesperson’s point of view to ensure the success of individual salespeople. This mission drives every new capability we add to our product.”

Pipedrive also announced today a new plan designed to meet the needs of the company’s larger enterprise customers. In addition, existing plans have been revamped to help individual salespeople and organizations of all sizes reach their sales goals and grow their businesses. To further support sales success, the company also launched Pipedrive Academy, a web-based online learning portal that provides recorded video courses that help sales professionals improve their selling skills and processes.

Pipedrive: Designed by Salespeople for Salespeople

With the new generation of Pipedrive, the first sales CRM designed from the salesperson’s point-of-view, the company continues to strengthen its commitment to putting salespeoples’ most pressing needs first. According to Pipedrive research, based on interviews and surveys with its customers, these include:

Speeding up prospecting. Three out of four sales professionals say prospecting is “quite” or “extremely” important and over half say it’s a “struggle” to find prospects and get them into the pipeline quickly. Of those who say it’s a struggle, 37% identified prospecting as the aspect of the sales process that needs the most improvement.

Reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. Three out of four sales professionals say it is important to reduce the time spent on repetitive administrative tasks and 40% say they struggle to keep the right balance.

The new Pipedrive also better meets the top need cited by sales managers:

Getting greater visibility into sales team performance. Half of sales managers say the following managerial tracking and reporting tasks are “extremely” important:

  • Reviewing the performance of each salesperson
  • Understanding what must be done next in the sales process
  • Quickly adjusting sales goals and/or processes based on monitoring key performance metrics in real time

“In our view, the improvements Pipedrive announced today to the platform will further strengthen their value proposition for sales-centric firms,” said Ben Dickie, Director, Research and Advisory, Customer Experience Management at Info-Tech Research Group. “Artificial intelligence has been a major area of investment in the customer experience space. Pipedrive’s new AI-powered recommendations for sales staff will help them close deals by moving from ‘gut feel’ to data-backed account insights. Expanding the platform’s customization and data visualization capabilities will also help broaden the platform’s appeal to large enterprises, helping them scale their client base upmarket.”

Pipedrive Plans Ensure the Right Fit for Every Customer

Pipedrive is updating, realigning, and renaming its three core plans for clarity and to deliver greater value to sales professionals. A fourth plan is a first-time offering for Pipedrive’s enterprise customers that delivers increased levels of service and support. New names and descriptors make it easier to differentiate between plans. The four plans are:

Essential (formerly Silver): The Essential plan gives sales professionals everything they need to get organized and stay focused on activities that lead to sales success. New capabilities include an AI-powered sales assistant and more pipeline customization options.

Advanced (formerly Gold): The Advanced plan adds new presets that speed up Pipedrive’s workflow automation of routine administrative tasks, which accelerates the process of moving deals to completion.

Professional (formerly Platinum): The Professional plan helps sales managers focus in real time on sales team performance and growing their businesses. New capabilities include an enhanced sales inbox that lets sales professionals customize emails to large lists; Caller℠, a built-in sales calling capability that comes with up to 300 minutes of free calls; and the ability for sales managers to track calls at the user level and adjust revenue forecasting based on deal movement through the pipeline.

In addition, the Professional plan includes completely redesigned sales managerial reporting with capabilities such as fully customizable goal setting, dashboard views, and access controls that empower sales managers with insights to better track the status of deals and make adjustments rapidly. Enhanced security reporting and the ability to set user permissions to control access to information at a more granular level and a new security dashboard give organizations greater peace of mind that customer information is protected and provides suggestions on how to better secure their business data. The Professional plan also includes a new mobile app, providing sales managers with on-the-go access to insights from their phones.

Enterprise (new): The Enterprise plan gives larger organizations all the benefits of Essential, Advanced, and Professional plans as well as additional support and service. Central features include the assignment of an Implementation Manager and Account Manager to each customer; set-up and onboarding assistance; coaching for individual users; support for pipeline customization; enhanced security and user permissions; and ongoing technical support via phone.

“Prior to adopting Pipedrive, we had a different CRM system that our salespeople just weren’t using,” said Lisa Coyle Co-CEO of payments provider 360Payments. “It was literally a battle every night for me to get salespeople to enter their data. They didn’t want to because it was complicated and had very little to do with helping them close sales. Pipedrive makes making sales so much easier than any other sales CRM because salespeople actually use it! They use Pipedrive to organize their day, keep track of deals and the activities that are needed to close deals, and manage the activities themselves so everything gets done.

“We welcome more granular pipeline and activity views, faster automation of routine tasks, and more advanced reporting so we can see how deals are progressing up to the minute,” added Coyle. “But really, what salespeople and management both want is a CRM system that salespeople want to use. That’s what we love about Pipedrive.”

Rule 10b-5 Private Securities-Fraud Litigation Peaked in 4Q’24

Published

on

rule-10b-5-private-securities-fraud-litigation-peaked-in-4q’24

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SAR, a data analytics company specialized in the securities litigation risk of U.S. public companies, today published the Securities Class Action Rule 10b-5 Exposure Report for 4Q 2024. According to the report, securities litigation exposure of public company defendants that trade in the NYSE and NASDAQ peaked during the fourth quarter of 2024, when records were set across the buoyant U.S. equity markets. During the bullish market conditions of 2024, shareholders claimed approx. $665.2 billion in market capitalization losses due to alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 – the most in the last five years.

According to the report, global quarterly Rule 10b-5 securities litigation exposure in 2024 was 17% greater than the average of 2023. Actual monetary settlements with investor plaintiffs last year were, on average, 23% greater than during the last six years.

SAR data and analysis indicate that the litigation exposure of U.S. public company defendants amounts to approximately $380.3 billion in 2H 2024. Shareholders claimed approximately $4.0 billion in market capitalization losses per securities class action filing, and approximately $2.0 billion per allegedly fraud-related stock drop in 2H 2024. The former metric increased by 32.1%, and the latter by 15.4% during the second half of 2024.

“Our data and analyses indicate that securities litigation exposure against U.S. public companies peaked in the fourth quarter of last year. This peak may be short-lived with an expected increase in volatility and new headwinds for U.S. equities given greater shareholder scrutiny of corporate disclosures. With average Rule 10b-5 settlements over 20% greater in 2024 than during the last six years, litigation activity is expected to increase in 2025,” said Anthony Kabanek, EVP of SAR.

According to the report, in 2023 and 2024 investor plaintiffs claimed $13.6 billion and $20.5 billion, respectively, in private Rule 10b-5 securities-fraud class actions that relied on short-seller research.

Key takeaways:

  • 86 U.S. issuers were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 during 2H 2024. Based on allegations presented in the first-filed class action complaint against each defendant issuer, U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $259.4 billion. U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure decreased -5.4% relative to 1H 2024.
  • U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure peaked in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, followed by a decline to trend in the 4th quarter of 2024.
  • 9 Non-U.S. issuers were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 during 2H 2024. Based on allegations presented in the first-filed class action complaint against each defendant issuer, ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $120.9 billion. ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure increased by 11.3x relative to 1H 2024.
  • An anomalously high 4th quarter exposure among Non-U.S. issuers contributed to a remarkably volatile year for ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure.

  • Rule 10b-5 private securities-fraud filing frequency and potential loss severity need not move in tandem. Global exposure increased by approximately 34% in the 2H 2024 relative to 1H 2024, while filing frequency remained relatively stable.
  • 38 U.S. Large Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 in 2H 2024, the same observed frequency as 1H 2024. The U.S. Large Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $233.7 billion, a decrease of 10.1% relative to 1H 2024.
  • 22 U.S. Mid Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 In 2H 2024. The U.S. Mid Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $19.8 billion, more than 3 times the amount in 1H 2024.
  • 26 U.S. Small Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5. The U.S. Small Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $5.9 billion, a decrease of 33% relative to 1H 2024.
  • 9 Non-U.S. issuers that trade via ADRs in the U.S. public markets were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5. The ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure increased by over 11.3x to ~$121 billion, relative to 1H 2024.

Sobi’s full year 2024 revenue higher than previous estimate

Published

sobi’s-full-year-2024-revenue-higher-than-previous-estimate

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi®) (STO:SOBI) announces today that revenue for the full year 2024 was higher than previous estimate. Full-year revenue was approximately SEK 26,000 M, representing approximately 19% growth at constant exchange rate (CER) (1). Adjusted EBITA margin (1,2) was in the mid-30s per cent of revenues.

The main reasons for the increased revenue are higher sales than expected in Q4 across the Haemophilia portfolio and for Kineret.

  • Altuvoct: Higher than expected rate of new patients switching to Altuvoct in markets where the product has been launched, mainly Germany and Switzerland.
  • Elocta: Benefited from higher patient numbers across markets and in markets where Altuvoct is launched there were less switches than expected from Elocta. Favorable gross-to-net effects were also observed.
  • Alprolix: Higher than expected number of new patients as well as increase in on-demand treatments across Europe.
  • Kineret: Higher than expected sales driven mainly by positive gross-to-net adjustments and favorable order phasing but also supported by increased demand.
  • The adjusted EBITA margin remained in the expected range as the stronger revenue performance was offset by negative mix effects on the gross margin as well as investments into our launch and pipeline products in the fourth quarter.

At the publication of the Q3 2024 report on 24 October 2024 Sobi stated the outlook for the full year 2024 to be: Revenue was anticipated to grow by a mid-teens percentage at CER and adjusted EBITA margin was anticipated to be in the mid-30s per cent of revenue.

Sobi will announce its fourth quarter and full year 2024 report on Wednesday 5 February 2025 at 8:00 am CET.

By vertical, the BFSI segment to hold the largest market size during the forecast period.

The knowledge graphs serve as a strong foundation for relating customer data, transactions history, credit scores, and risk profiles within the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector, allowing the exact relationship mapping and insights. These are also employed in fraud detection through real-time identification of hidden patterns and for regulatory compliance with standards such as AML (Anti Money Laundering) and KYC (know Your Customer), where data can be traced and is transparent. In banking, knowledge graphs facilitate credit risk analysis which makes the process of loan approval more efficient, in insurance by linking policies, claims data, and fraud indicators thus optimizing claims processing. All these will, when combined with other data points, produce AI-powered applications: personalized advice-based solutions on finances and intelligent virtual assistants, which will create operational efficiency and improved customer experience in BFSI.

Virtual assistants, self-service data, and digital asset discovery segment to have the highest growth during the forecast period.

Knowledge graphs are essential for building virtual assistants, self-service data platforms, and even digital asset discovery, for they build interconnected data networks that help in enhancing the searchability and insights. Virtual assistants use knowledge graphs to provide context-sensitive responses that improve user interactions and provide tailored recommendations. Self-service data platforms use knowledge graphs to allow business users to access and analyze complex datasets without technical help, which helps them to make better decisions. They make the identification and classification of digital resources, such as documents or media, easier through linking metadata and content relationships for the discovery of digital assets. This capability enables effective resource management, innovation, and improvement in user experience in areas such as content creation, research, and enterprise workflows.

Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest market growth rate during the forecast period.

The knowledge graph landscape is rapidly evolving in Asia Pacific, with initiatives across various domains. In December 2022, the National Library Board (NLB), Singapore, launched a Linked Data-based Semantic Knowledge Graph to merge resources from libraries and archives using BIBFRAME and Schema.org vocabularies for seamless updating and improved data quality. HydroKG in Australia merges hydrologic data from resources such as GeoFabric and HydroATLAS that allow for pinpoint queries on water bodies and river networks, enabling better environmental management. Japan uses knowledge graphs in manufacturing for supply chain optimization and South Korea uses it in telecommunications to enhance the customer experience through personalized AI.
