Why CRM frustrates sales teams

8 problems your team deals with every day.

From 1,000+ verified complaints — G2, Reddit, Trustpilot, Capterra.

01#1 complaint

Complexity kills adoption

Avon scrapped a $125M CRM because reps quit rather than use it.

02Very High severity

Invoice shock as you grow

Contacts grow → plan auto-upgrades. HubSpot onboarding: $3,000+ mandatory.

03High severity

Integration gaps everywhere

Only 29% of enterprise apps are connected (IBM). "3 screens for one client."

04High severity

AI that's just marketing

90% want AI. 52% can't use it. Rule-based automation sold as "AI."

05Medium severity

Technical debt spiral

Only 25% of custom Salesforce code survives 3 years without a full rewrite.

06Medium severity

Security & compliance gaps

83% of orgs had a breach. GDPR fines up to 4% of global revenue.

07Medium severity

Support disappears at scale

"Great at first — then your problem grows and they vanish."

08Growing

Mobile is an afterthought

Field reps can't log notes on-site. Offline sync is broken or missing.
