What Being a Pipedrive Elite Partner (and Advisory Council Member) Actually Means

And why it makes a difference for the businesses we support.

 At Flowbird, we've worked with hundreds of companies to shape, simplify and scale their Pipedrive setup. But over time, our role evolved - from helping teams use Pipedrive, to helping shape the direction Pipedrive is heading. 

That's how we earned our place as both a Pipedrive Elite Partner and one of a small handful of agencies from around the world invited to the Pipedrive Partner Advisory Council (PAC).

Here's what it actually means - and why it matters to you. 

1. We Know What's Coming (Before Everyone Else Does)

Most consultants work with what's available.
We work with what's about to be. 

As PAC members, we test beta features months before they launch. 
We see the roadmap.
And we help steer it - based on what real customers are asking for. 

So if you're tired of "we'll have to wait and see", you'll find we often already know what's next... and how to plan around it. 

2. Your Setup Won't Get Left Behind

Ever build something in your CRM, only to find it no longer works when new features launch?

We've seen that. We've fixed that. 
And because we see behind the curtain, we know how to future-proof your setup - so you're not rebuilding in six months. 

3. You Don't Have to Explain What You Need. We Get It.

Elite Partner status isn't just about volume - it's about understanding. 

It's awarded to partners who consistently:

  • Deliver successful, scalable CRM systems
  • Handle complex workflows without overcomplication
  • Maintain high client satisfaction and retention

In short, we don't guess at solutions. We build what works, then refine it. 

4. We Feed Real-World Needs Into the System That Serves You

When your sales team struggles with a feature, we don't just patch it - we pass it up the chain.

As PAC members, our feedback doesn't just land in a support ticket.
It gets heard, discussed and sometimes... it becomes the next product update. 

Your frustrations don't vanish into the void - they help shape something better. 

In a Word? Clarity.

Choosing a CRM consultant can feel like a gamble.

So instead of asking you to trust us, we've spent years building trust with the people behind the product itself. 

And now, we use that trust to give our clients a clearer path forward - not just in their systems, but in their growth.
