Salesforce is the CRM equivalent of enterprise software from 2005: powerful, expensive, and requiring a small army to maintain. The average Salesforce implementation costs $75K, takes 3-6 months, and requires at least one full-time admin. For teams under 200, that overhead doesn't make sense anymore.
Salesforce is the CRM equivalent of enterprise software from 2005: powerful, expensive, and requiring a small army to maintain. The average Salesforce implementation costs $75K, takes 3-6 months, and requires at least one full-time admin. For teams under 200, that overhead doesn't make sense anymore.
The hidden costs of Salesforce go far beyond per-seat pricing. You need a certified admin ($80-120K/year), an implementation partner ($150-300/hour), and ongoing customization work. Data storage costs extra. API calls are metered. And every time Salesforce releases a major update, your custom workflows need regression testing. It's a platform that generates consulting revenue — by design.
