| Feature | SignalBox | Pipedrive |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | People and the relationships your work comes from. | Deals moving through a sales pipeline. |
| Who to contact today | A list worked out each morning from the rhythm you set for each group, whether or not there is a deal. | Activities you schedule, mostly attached to deals. |
| Next follow-up | Set for you each time you log contact, from the circle’s rhythm. | An activity you schedule, or automations on higher plans. |
| Relationship health | A grade for every contact and circle, based on how recently you have been in touch. | Idle deals can be flagged as rotting. People have no relationship grade. |
| Referrals | Who referred whom, as a chain, and what each introduction led to. | No built-in referral tracking. |
| Introductions | Pick two people and an email to both opens in Gmail or Outlook, ready for your words. | No dedicated introductions feature. |

When there is no deal yet
A pipeline CRM is at its best once there is a deal to move. For an expert business, most of the important relationships have no open deal: past clients, referrers, peers and people worth knowing. They are where the next deal comes from.
SignalBox looks after all of them, with or without a deal, so the pipeline keeps filling itself.
SignalBox is likely the better fit if
- Your best work comes from referrals and repeat clients.
- You want reminders for people, not only for deals.
- You want to see which relationships are drifting before they go cold.
- You still want a clear pipeline, with products and services and totals in your currency.
