A deal board built for sync, not generic sales. Drag pitches across four stages made for the way placements actually happen: Prospect, Pitched, Engaged, Placed. Each card holds the supervisor, the project, the tracks you sent, and the status, so your whole pipeline is one glance, not ten email threads.
Follow-up reminders that recover dead deals. Most placements are lost to silence, not rejection. Set a reminder on any pitch and DropCue nudges you when it's time to circle back, so the supervisor who said 'send me more' actually hears from you again.
Tie pitches to the tracks you actually sent. Every deal links straight to the DropCue share link or playlist you pitched, with play counts and engagement built in. You know what a supervisor opened, what they replayed, and which cue is pulling interest before you follow up.
See your real conversion math. Watch how many prospects become pitches, how many pitches get engagement, and how many engagements become placements. Pitch Pipeline turns gut feel into a funnel you can actually improve quarter over quarter.
One source of truth for your placement business. Notes, contacts, deal value, and next steps live on the card, not scattered across Notes apps and spreadsheets. When a master vs. publishing question or a fee comes up months later, the history is right there.
Built for solo composers and full sync teams. Run it as a one-person placement engine or share the board across a team pitching the same catalog. Everyone sees who's working which supervisor, so two writers never pitch the same contact cold.
1. Add your prospects. Drop in the music supervisors, libraries, and music coordinators you want to reach. Add the contact, the show or project, and the deal value. Each one starts as a card in your Prospect column.
2. Pitch with tracked DropCue links. Send your music through a DropCue share link or playlist and move the card to Pitched. Because the link is tracked, you'll see opens and replays the moment they happen, no guessing whether your pitch landed.
3. Set a follow-up and move to Engaged. When a supervisor replies, opens repeatedly, or asks for more, slide the card to Engaged and set a reminder. DropCue tells you exactly when to follow up so warm leads never go cold.
4. Close it as Placed. When the cue gets used, move the card to Placed and log the fee. Now your pipeline shows your true conversion rate, and your next quarter of pitching gets sharper.
A music pitch CRM is a system for tracking every sync pitch you send, from the first prospect to a confirmed placement, so deals don't die in your inbox. Composers often pitch dozens of supervisors a month and lose track of who they contacted, what they sent, and who to follow up with. DropCue's Pitch Pipeline gives you a kanban deal board (Prospect, Pitched, Engaged, Placed) with follow-up reminders, built specifically for sync licensing. It's included in the DropCue Studio plan.
The most reliable way is a dedicated pipeline where each pitch is a card you move through stages as the deal progresses, paired with tracked links so you can see when a supervisor actually opens your music. DropCue's Pitch Pipeline does both: it tracks pitches across Prospect, Pitched, Engaged, and Placed, links each deal to the exact share link or playlist you sent, and reminds you when to follow up. That beats spreadsheets, which can't tell you who listened or when a follow-up is due.
A spreadsheet can list your contacts, but it can't tell you when a supervisor opened your pitch, remind you to follow up, or link to the exact tracks you sent. DropCue's Pitch Pipeline connects directly to your tracked share links and playlists, so engagement data and follow-up reminders live on the same card as the deal. Everything stays in one platform alongside the music you're actually pitching, instead of bouncing between three tools.
Yes. The DropCue Studio plan is built for both solo composers and teams pitching a shared catalog. Everyone sees the same board, so you can tell at a glance who's working which music supervisor and avoid two writers pitching the same contact cold. It's part of the Business Suite that comes with Studio, alongside the other pro tools for running placements like a business.
Most sync deals are lost to silence rather than a hard no. A supervisor says 'send me more next quarter' and then it slips your mind. Pitch Pipeline lets you set a reminder on any deal, and DropCue nudges you when it's time to circle back. Consistent, well-timed follow-up is one of the biggest levers in sync licensing, and it's the thing composers most often drop without a system.
Pitch Pipeline is part of the DropCue Studio plan, which starts at $33/mo and scales by catalog size up to $119/mo. Studio includes the full Business Suite of pro tools for working composers, not just pitch tracking. You can try it free for 7 days to run real pitches through the board before you commit.
