    My last 2 both used a shitty proprietary one and they were both garbage. Sales force would have been a dream in comparison

    If Sales Force and Oracle are so bad, how come they had over $43 billion in revenues for 2016?

    In our case it was supposed to be a job elimnator not a job creator.

    To answer the revenue generator point. Very good at very large corps. Not so good at medium sized. Its an operations tool, not a sales tool. The name is terribly misleading.

    Kind of like, did you see Microsoft revenues? Microsoft 10 blew up my under a year old Lenovo Yoga Pro. Had to throw it out. Lenovo won't work on non warranty computers and they wanted 60 bucks to talk to a tech. Microsoft said it was a Lenovo problem, Lenovo basically said it was a MS problem but would need to take my credit card before trouble shooting. Took it a local local computer shop gave them. They couldn't figure it out. Computer worked just fine before upgrading windows. Then it just died.

    Microsoft absolutely blows. Windows is awful. Just

    I gave it 6 months but holy moly. You can spend clicking a mouse button for 10 minutes for something to actually get done.

    I have used a number of CRM's, and never have dealt with some much then wondering what the hell I just did for 45 minutes. The iPad version is like going through Tinder. Have to swipe 10 times to get anywhere.

    What about developing one for small and medium sized companies that can be an operations and sales tool? Sounds like an opportunity to grab a little bit of market share in a very big market.

    If you grab .1% of the market, that's still $43 million in revenues.

    I upgraded my Yoga Pro 3 with no issues. No surprise both companies blame each other though. Have you tried a clean install (not an upgrade)?

    There are tons of hipster fag tech companies trying to switch to Microsoft's new products now.

    Turns out a giant company like Microsoft can deliver better, faster tools. Who would have thought?

    I'm older than dirt and I set up systems to run bidnesses with a fucking excel sheet.

    I had experience with sales force back in the foreclosure days. The hedge fund boys loved it but they had a big piece of it too. Go figure.

    SAP is the worst piece of shit ever.

    Or our IT people are fucking retards and can't unfuck it because they're stupid.

    Take your pick.

    This is all the shit I avoid by making my own systems

    Excel has never failed. Plus you don't have to be on the interwebs to fucking use it.

    Excel fails all the time. Thank god their recovery files are half-decent. But I still hit Alt-File-Save like a motherfucker.
