CRM for B2B Sales — Long Cycles, Multi-Stakeholder Deals
A CRM for B2B sales built for deals that take 6 to 18 months and involve a whole buying committee, not a single buyer. You see the account hierarchy, who is champion, decision maker and blocker, what each party needs at each stage, and how much every open opportunity really weighs in the forecast.
What the system covers
Account hierarchy and multi-contact
Parent and subsidiary structures, all contacts under one account tagged with roles — champion, decision maker, blocker, end user, economic buyer. The whole organization in one view.
Buying committee mapping
Visual committee map with influence, position and remaining steps. The system flags missing contacts and warns when the champion alone cannot close the deal.
Account plans and MEDDIC
Account plan template aligned to MEDDIC, BANT or your own methodology — metrics, economic buyer, decision criteria, pain, champion. Every AE fills the same fields, so forecasts become comparable.
Consultative-sale stages
A pipeline whose stages reflect the real enterprise cycle: discovery, technical fit, business case, RFP response, negotiation, legal review, signature. No extra junk fields.
RFP and RFI documents
All correspondence, specs, technical questionnaires and answers live on the deal. Versions, history, who changed what — no more hunting through email threads and shared drives.
Weighted long-cycle forecasting
Forecasts weighted by stage, champion presence and business case maturity — not just by probability percent. You see the real likelihood of closing Q3 and what must happen to get there.
Who it fits
Enterprise SaaS
Deals from €30,000 to €500,000 ARR, multi-year contracts, technical POCs, security reviews, legal redlines. The CRM keeps every side aligned without 40-email threads.
Industrial equipment
Machines, production lines, configurable kit with itemized quotes. Champion in engineering, decision maker in finance, blocker in supply chain — each with their own pain to address.
Professional services
Consulting, engineering and IT integrators selling engagements from €50,000 upward. Deal teams of partner, manager and experts collaborate on the same opportunity without stepping on each other.
How we build it
We do not resell Salesforce. We build your own CRM for B2B sales on a proven stack: PostgreSQL, .NET or Node.js, React/Next.js, REST APIs and webhooks. You own the system, with no per-user fees and no foreign roadmap dictating how you sell.
We start with 2-3 days of interviews with your AEs, sales engineers and sales ops, mapping how deals really move, where they stall, which fields nobody fills in. That map locks the MVP scope — account hierarchy, MEDDIC opportunity stages, RFP/RFI workspace, weighted forecasting. Other modules ship in later sprints.
We integrate with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and enrichment tools (Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit), Gmail or Microsoft 365 for email, e-signature, accounting and ERP. For ABM scenarios, target account lists flow straight into LinkedIn campaigns and personalized landing pages. See how we approach software development end to end.
Go-live happens in stages — your top AEs and their key accounts first, then the wider sales org, then partners and resellers. After go-live we stay on an SLA-backed support contract with regular pipeline reviews, tuning stages against real win/loss data.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a B2B CRM different from a standard CRM?
A CRM for B2B sales is built around the account, not a single contact. It holds company hierarchy, the full buying committee with roles, MEDDIC fields, RFP documents and weighted forecasting for 6-18-month cycles. Standard CRMs shine on fast transactional sales, but in an enterprise cycle with 6-9 stakeholders they lose the thread by month two.
How long does implementation take?
A B2B sales CRM implementation typically takes 8 to 14 weeks for the first productive phase. A small sales team of 5-10 people with a simple pipeline goes live in 8 weeks. A mid-size org with multiple product lines, partners and ABM integration lands closer to 12-14 weeks. We never do big-bang go-lives — we deploy in stages, starting with the most painful step of the current process.
Does it integrate with LinkedIn and enrichment tools?
It integrates with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo and Clearbit for account and contact enrichment, plus Gmail or Microsoft 365 for email, DocuSign for signature, and accounting or ERP for downstream finance. Target account lists flow into LinkedIn ABM campaigns without manual copy-paste between systems.
How much does a B2B sales CRM cost?
A B2B sales CRM starts from €5,800 for an MVP rollout in a small sales team and typically lands between €16,000 and €38,000 for a mid-size organization with several product lines, ABM integration and a partner channel. Pricing is fixed against the agreed scope, paid in milestones, and never includes per-user fees. Post-go-live support is a separate SLA contract.
