B2B CRM Development – Sales Solution for Your Business
Why a Dedicated B2B CRM?
Standard CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive are often optimized for B2C – short sales cycles, simple products, mass marketing with large contact lists.B2B sales is fundamentally different: sales cycles take weeks or months, multiple stakeholders need to be convinced, proposals are complex and individual, prices are negotiated, and the customer relationship is long-term.
A custom B2B CRM maps your sales processes exactly:Account-based selling with multiple contacts, decision-maker mapping, and relationship history. Opportunity management for complex deals with defined phases and milestones. Proposal logic with product configurator, customer-specific prices, and discount rules. And the ERP integrationthat connects your sales data with orders, deliveries, and invoices.
Additionally: with Salesforce, you pay from 75 EUR/user/month for the Professional edition – features like forecasting or workflows cost extra. With 20 sales reps, that's 18,000 EUR/year, trending upward. A custom solution often pays for itself in 2-3 years.
