FAQs

Is Pipedrive GDPR compliant? Yes, Pipedrive is fully committed to GDPR compliance. They provide features that help you manage client data privacy, including the ability to export and delete user data upon request. As a UK agency, we ensure the integration is set up to respect these privacy standards.

Can Pipedrive replace our booking system? Generally, no. Pipedrive is a Sales CRM, not a booking engine. However, we often integrate it with booking platforms (like Mindbody or Calendly). This means Pipedrive handles the relationship and the ‘sale’, while your booking system handles the actual class or appointment scheduling.

How does pricing work? Pipedrive operates on a per-user, per-month subscription model with several tiers (Essential, Advanced, Professional, Power, and Enterprise). You can scale your plan up or down as your team grows. We can advise on the most cost-effective tier for your specific needs.

Can you migrate data from our old system? Yes. Whether you are moving from spreadsheets or another CRM, we can assist in cleaning and migrating your existing contact and deal data into Pipedrive to ensure you retain your history.

Is it difficult for non-technical staff to learn? One of Pipedrive’s main selling points is its usability. The visual nature of the pipeline makes it very intuitive. Most staff members in the health and fitness industry find it easy to pick up after our initial training session.

Does it integrate with marketing tools? Yes, Pipedrive has a marketplace with hundreds of apps. We can integrate it with email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, ensuring your sales and marketing teams are always synchronised.

What happens if our internet goes down? Pipedrive is a cloud-based service, so an internet connection is required to access the live data. However, the mobile app does have some offline capabilities that allow you to view data and add notes which will sync once you are back online.
