Sales CRM
Sales CRMs are the system of record for pipeline: they store every contact, company, and deal, and structure the follow-up work that turns conversations into revenue.
Every GTM stack eventually funnels into a CRM, and the interesting action is no longer at the enterprise end. A generation of sub-500-person vendors is rethinking the category around speed, flexible data models, and native enrichment, betting that the system of record should adapt to how a team sells rather than the reverse.
