Quick answer

Pipedrive is a visual sales CRM (a tool that tracks your client interactions and deals) built to help small teams close more revenue. There is no free plan, but you can test the platform with a 14 day trial without providing a credit card. It suits dedicated sales teams perfectly, though users globally must pay in major western currencies.
