Consulting CRM

CRM for Esg Sustainability

Turn conversations into contracts.

A company wants a quote for an ESG assessment, a proposal has gone quiet before the board signs off, and an annual reporting retainer is up for renewal. CIPHER CRM keeps every enquiry, proposal and retainer on one screen, made for how an Indian ESG and sustainability consultancy really sells.

CIPHER CRM is a purpose-built CRM for ESG and sustainability consultants, part of its Consulting edition from CIPHER Craft Pvt. Ltd. (Rajkot, est. 2018). It captures client enquiries and referrals, sends scoped proposals, tracks a long pipeline, and follows up on reporting retainers, on one screen. Used by 192+ businesses across India, rated 4.8/5, with GST billing and a mobile app in every plan, and live in 1-3 days.

Sound familiar?

Running your business on spreadsheets and WhatsApp?

An ESG enquiry comes in and the proposal is slow, so a rival consultancy wins it.

Fee quotes and negotiated scope live in different files nobody can find later.

Long, board-driven sales cycles stall because no one owns the follow-up.

Annual reporting retainers slip at renewal because the date sat in one head.

When a BD person leaves, the client relationships and pipeline go with them.

The difference

From the old way to the CIPHER way

ESG & Sustainability Consultants enquiries scattered across notebooks, calls and WhatsApp

Every esg & sustainability consultants enquiry captured in one inbox and auto-assigned to an owner

Nobody is sure who was meant to manage client leads and proposals

A named owner and a due date on every esg & sustainability consultants follow-up

Quotes rebuilt by hand and sent hours late

Branded, GST-ready quotes from saved rate cards in minutes

No single view of how you track engagements and follow-ups

Live pipeline, payments and balance-due on one dashboard

ESG & Sustainability Consultants history walks out of the door when staff leave

Every deal, quote and note kept on the customer record

Definition

What is an ESG & Sustainability Consultants CRM?

Core capabilities

Best CRM for ESG & Sustainability Consultants businesses in India

For most ESG & Sustainability Consultants businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is a strong fit. It is India-first, mobile-first, flat-priced, and live in 1-3 days. Evaluate options against your own workflow before deciding.

  • CIPHER CRM - India-first, mobile-first, flat-priced, and built for how Indian teams actually work, the best fit for most.
  • Generic global CRM - Powerful, but built for overseas sales; INR/GST billing is usually a paid add-on and per-user pricing adds up.
  • Spreadsheets & WhatsApp - Free and familiar, but leads slip, follow-ups are missed, and there is no single view of your pipeline or payments.
