Corporate development requires having technology and processes in place to help your business nurture relationships, optimize customer interactions, seize opportunities, and manage marketing initiatives. And that’s what an all-in-one CRM can help your team achieve.
Choosing the right CRM for business development is critical for successfully managing new relationships, collaborating with your team, putting time-consuming tasks on autopilot, and getting the data-driven insights you need to flourish.
If business development is a crucial part of your company’s growth strategy, you need effective tools for streamlining your processes. The right CRM is an integral solution for engaging with stakeholders, building client relationships, tracking sales data, and even managing marketing campaigns.
Among other things, a good CRM system offers features that can help your team spark, strengthen, and sustain relationships with partners and customers—a critical component of business development.
Here are a few of the benefits of using a business development CRM:
When it comes to growing your organization through making new sales, entering new markets, or increasing your market share, using the best business development tools for your team’s needs is crucial. If you want to build sustained business growth, you need a CRM that can help your team track relationships and interactions as well as sales.
You’ll also need a platform that can scale up with your business, providing advanced features like AI, lead generation, prospecting, sales SMS, and others. Your business development software should meet your current needs while offering room to add more capabilities as your business needs them.
Nutshell offers the robust features needed for corporate development, whatever your industry. With best-in-class sales pipeline management, advanced reporting and analytics, and a host of marketing features, Nutshell is the all-in-one CRM and marketing platform organizations use to generate real growth.

Essential for corporate development is the ability to efficiently manage relationships with partners, leads, clients, and other important stakeholders.

Ik heb in het verleden Act, Goldmine en Salesforce gebruikt en ik vond Nutshell het makkelijkst om mee te beginnen en om aangepaste velden in te stellen. Ik zou Nutshell aanraden aan anderen die geïnteresseerd zijn in een eenvoudig te leren en te navigeren CRM.

We hebben Hubspot verlaten voor Nutshell omdat Hubspot te complex was. Nutshell maakt software voor mensen.

Toen we CRM's aan het evalueren waren, kwam de beslissende factor tussen Nutshell en Salesforce neer op draaitijd en prijs. Nutshell wint op beide vlakken (met een enorme marge). Salesforce was 10 keer zo duur per maand voor wat we wilden.
