Even a small business that crafts things on Etsy needs a CRM.

You wouldn’t hire a salesperson who forgets people’s names. So why run a business without a CRM?
July 18, 2025 at 2:26 PM
It's bloody insane to see it but a lot of SMEs think they’re "too small" to be targeted.

Attackers know you’re also too small to have a proper security plan.

I'm not surprised Grok is coming to Tesla.

Elon Musk will continue to integrate all his inventions and ideas into one vertical empire.

Trump's introduced new tariffs to kickstart the week?

Freedom isn’t free, it’s marked up 25%!

Follow me, I'm skeptical.

If Amazon really flips that ratio of human to robot workers, it’s a canary for the entire logistics and retail sector.

It means “low-skill” warehouse jobs (once an easy fallback for the working class) just shrank fast.

And since Amazon sets the standard, competitors will scramble to automate.

Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” is short-term sugar rush, long-term diabetes.

When you rip billions out of Medicaid and food stamps, that direct demand is stripped from the economy.

Add a $3.3 trillion deficit hole and you’re flirting with forced spending cuts when recession hits.

GDP went up 0.7%, fastest in a year, yet real household disposable income fell by 1%.

That disconnect is a huge red flag.

It shows that whatever’s driving growth (like housing market activity or factory output) isn’t trickling down to people’s wallets.

The fake sense of prosperity in the UK (by using GDP) needs to be put to bed.

Covid and Brexit absolutely smacked the real economy, but GDP never caught all the deep bruises.

London props up a ton of GDP, but the regions underperform massively.

You’ve got millions stuck in low-wage services with flat productivity and zero upskilling.

A CRM is only as good as the manager who cares enough to make people actually use it 🤔

Are you a SaaS company migrating from Salesforce to Zoho? Here's a CRM consultant's guide to doing it, stress free > www.caldere.com/saas-migrate...
How SaaS Companies Migrate From Salesforce to Zoho
Salesforce is quietly bleeding mid-size SaaS companies dry. But here’s the kicker: Zoho gives you 80% of the functionality at a fraction of the cost. Bernard Health saved nearly $1 million by s

Every field in your CRM is a philosophical choice: what matters, what doesn’t, and why.

Microsoft’s pivot to a multi-store ecosystem for Xbox is basically CRM evolution in action.

Lock-in is dead. Customers want freedom and businesses that win will offer experiences that don’t trap people, but empower them.

Are your systems built for that kind of flexibility?

We keep hearing: “AI will replace this. AI will destroy that.”

I don't doubt AI's capabilities but this doomsday mindset is exhausting for those who see AI as an extremely beneficial tool.

Google's cloud outages is exactly why we push for risk-aware CRM and CX setups.

When your operations hinge on a single cloud provider, one hiccup can nuke customer trust in seconds.

Redundancy, hybrid-cloud, and real-time status alerts aren’t luxury add-ons.

They’re survival tools.

The answer is no, right?

Because why would ANY company -- that’s serious about building a tech company specifically -- place their operations in the middle of nowhere?

The first CRM was built in 1986 and I'm willing to best the first rage-quit over CRM was probably also 1986.

Businesses are now rolling out their AI tools left, right, and centre.

How can your business do the same?

Nintendo’s buzz is all about the user experience. When pre-orders get bungled, that trust gets nuked.

All companies need to ensure trust is a feature, not an add-on.

Here's my take on Thames Water: Previous ownership seemed more interested in extracting value than investing in maintenance.

So I'm not surprised by the $20B debt and calls for nationalisation.

This baffles me with the Federal Reserve.

They make big decisions using lagging indicators while businesses use real-time data.

I.e. Why is one of the most powerful institutions in the world still using rearview mirrors, when businesses are using GPS?
