I’ve spent years observing businesses, from the smallest startups dreaming big to the sprawling enterprises that feel like cities unto themselves. And in all that time, if there’s one consistent truth I’ve seen play out, it’s this: a business lives and dies by its customers. Not just how many they have, but how well they […]
I remember the day it hit me, the real, tangible need for a Customer Relationship Management system. My little startup, a passion project that had somehow spiraled into a legitimate business, was overflowing with customer interactions. Leads were slipping through the cracks, follow-ups were haphazard, and frankly, my spreadsheet skills were being pushed to their
