Why Salesforce Fails Small Business
Over-Engineered
Built for Fortune 500 companies with complex needs. Small businesses use maybe 5% of features.
Expensive Forever
Monthly fees that never end. Costs increase as you grow. Add-ons and integrations cost extra.
Implementation Hell
Takes months. Requires consultants. Often fails. Average SMB implementation: 6-12 months.
Low Adoption
Too complex for small teams. Staff avoid using it. ROI never materializes.
Small Businesses Who Escaped
"Salesforce was killing us - $800/month for features we didn't need and couldn't figure out. Our custom CRM is simple, powerful, and our team actually uses it."
Local Service Business
12 employees, 100% CRM adoption
"We spent $30k on Salesforce implementation and it still didn't work for our business. Custom CRM cost less and works perfectly."
B2B Wholesaler
20 salespeople, custom workflows
