NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pipedrive, the leading CRM for sales and marketing teams, announced today that in the past three years, Pipedrive has achieved over 80% average annual recurring revenue growth rates in Japan. According to Pipedrive’s prognosis, the company’s growth rate in Japan is on track to exceed 100% in 2021.

In 2017, Pipedrive launched its award-winning CRM's fully localized version in Japanese language. Pipedrive has also established a separate group on its Community for Japanese sales and marketing professionals where they can exchange ideas and get insights from other experts.
