Firmable breaks into G2’s global top five for momentum in Sales Intelligence

Published

on

By

Firmable earned 17 badges in G2’s Fall 2026 reports and improved its ranking in 28 of the 32 reports it featured in last season, holding its position in the other four.

MELBOURNE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Firmable, the AI-native B2B sales platform, has climbed from #8 to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence, which ranks the fastest-rising products in the category worldwide. It also ranked #1 for SMB sales intelligence in both Australia and ANZ and moved into the top 10 across Asia-Pacific.

The results span regional, segment and global reports in both the Sales Intelligence and Lead Intelligence categories. They are based on verified reviews from Firmable customers, alongside G2’s measures of market presence and growth.

Global momentum as Firmable scales in North America

Firmable is now one of the fastest-rising sales intelligence products worldwide. Its jump to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence was matched by strong gains in G2’s global satisfaction indexes:

Relationship Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #24Implementation Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #17Results Index for Sales Intelligence: #4, up from #16

The results arrive as Firmable expands across the US and Canada, following its $14 million Series A in March and the launch of the Firmable MCP in July. They were followed by the launch of Tech Intelligence earlier in October.

“G2 rankings come straight from customers, and that’s why these results matter to us,” said Leigh Jasper, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Customers are telling the market three things: Firmable is easy to work with, fast to roll out, and it delivers results. Those scores climbed the most this season. That’s exactly the proof point sales leaders look for when they evaluate a new platform. We built Firmable as an AI-native product from day one, and teams in North America and elsewhere are responding. Breaking into the global top five for momentum is a strong signal of where we’re headed.”

#1 in Australia and in ANZ

Firmable took the top spot for small-business sales intelligence in both of its home markets. It rose from #2 to #1 on G2’s Small-Business Australia Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence, and from #3 to #1 on the Small-Business ANZ Regional Grid. Firmable also held #1 overall in both Australia and ANZ for Lead Intelligence.

“Ranking top in Australia and ANZ and climbing across Asia-Pacific comes down to one thing: our customers are booking more meetings with less effort,” said Paul Perrett, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Growing sales teams can’t afford to waste a rep’s day on bad data or cold accounts. We give them verified contacts and buying signals that tell them who to call and when. These results show that approach is working for teams in every market we serve. And with the launch of Tech Intelligence last week, we’re not slowing down.”

Top 10 across Asia-Pacific

Firmable moved into the top 10 for small-business sales intelligence across Asia-Pacific. It climbed from #13 to #10 on G2’s Small-Business Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence. It also rose from #14 to #9 on the matching Lead Intelligence grid.

Firmable debuted on G2’s Mid-Market Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence at #13. That reflects growing adoption among larger revenue teams in the region. On the overall Asia Pacific grid for Sales Intelligence, Firmable moved from #18 to #15.

SUPPORTS AMD EXPO™ Technology: Featuring Ultra Low Latency
WITH AWARD-WINNING FLAGSHIP DESIGN

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KLEVV, the leading consumer memory and storage brand introduced by Essencore, unveils the all-new CRAS V RGB PRIME DDR5 Gaming/OC Memory.

The result is an understated yet luxurious aesthetic that offers users a fresh, premium design choice while preserving the refined craftsmanship of the original CRAS V RGB.

High-Speed Performance with Lower Latency
The CRAS V RGB PRIME further advances KLEVV’s DDR5 overclocking memory lineup with tested speeds of 6000, 6400, and 8000 MT/s and CAS latencies of CL26, CL28, and CL38, respectively.

The 6000 MT/s configuration features tested timings of 26-36-36-76, while the 6400 MT/s configuration delivers timings of 28-38-38-78. For users seeking extreme frequencies, the 8000 MT/s models operate at tested timings of 38-48-48-128. All configurations are tested at 1.4V.

Each kit comes preloaded with both Intel® Extreme Memory Profile and AMD EXPO™ Technology overclocking profiles, allowing users to unlock high-speed performance through a simple BIOS setting on compatible motherboards with supported BIOS versions. With both profiles included, users can confidently choose their preferred speed and capacity without the hassle of selecting separate Intel- or AMD-specific models.

Premium Components for Uncompromising Stability
The CRAS V RGB PRIME features rigorously screened, high-quality memory ICs from a leading Korean manufacturer, ensuring consistent high-speed performance and exceptional stability under demanding workloads.

Paired with a high-density 10-layer PCB, the modules deliver enhanced signal integrity and greater resistance to interference during high-speed operation.
