  • Wrapping Up 2025 and Looking Ahead to 2026 [VIDEO]

    Video

    This time last year, I sat in this same home office and recorded a video reflecting on the year that had been.

    At the time, I didn’t really have a clear plan for what I wanted 2025 to look like. No big targets. No rigid goals. No sense of urgency to rush into the next thing.

    Video

    Most sales teams think they’re setting goals, revenue targets, KPIs, quarterly ambitions…
    But very few actually build a system inside Pipedrive that helps them hit those goals.
