Most CRMs weren't built for small businesses. They were built for enterprises and then "simplified" into cheaper tiers with half the features stripped out. And that's the core problem.
When a 5-person sales team signs up for a CRM, they don't need:
6-month implementation timelines
Mandatory training certifications
200-page admin guides
A dedicated "CRM manager" role just to keep things running
They need to know: Who talked to which customer? What was said? What's the next step?
