To my understanding Salesforce was already selling hot air, so their pivot to force Agentforce on other companies seems logical.

In their defense it is a pretty nice CRM.

But yeah this could probably be maintained by like five people.

I disagree on it being a good crm.

A lot of my problems show up on lists like “25 falsehoods programmers believe about addresses”. These were things that were maybe acceptable in 1999, because they didn’t know better, but only having a single street line is a problem.

I could rant, but half of it would be sales directors who have never used Salesforce shooting us in the foot.

It's Jira for sales. Infinitely customizable and reportable, but infinitely frustratable for us rank-and-file plebs.

I haven't used an implementation of SFDC that I've liked yet.
