I don't think the threat is OpenAI literally building a CRM to compete head-on. The real scare for platforms like Hubspot is the death by a thousand cuts from specialized AI tools.

The big all-in-one suites are often slow to integrate good AI. Their native stuff feels like a bolt-on feature just to tick a box on a marketing page.

Working at eesel AI, we see this with the support/service side of things. Companies will use a big CRM but come to us for the actual AI automation because the built-in tools are too generic or clunky. It's easier for a focused tool to do one thing really well than for a giant platform to do everything kinda okay.

That's probably what the market is spooked about long-term, not a direct competitor.

CRM seems like a buy rn tbh nfa

PLTR will continue to steal market from CRM. Bennioff is scared, and it shows l. hold/sell

Land clients by targeting property managers and superhosts; offer a 7‑day pilot with free pickup and 24–48h turnaround, plus a simple rate card and clear damage/loss policy. Do a route-walk: visit hotels/inns off-peak, talk to housekeeping leads, leave labeled sample bags, and promise daily cutoff schedules. Price by cost-plus: compute all-in cost per kg (labor, power, water, chemicals, bags, fuel, machine upkeep), add 25–40% margin, then give volume tiers and a rush fee; charge separate for stain treatment/pressing. Use barcode tags, weigh-in/out logs, and QC checklists to avoid mix-ups. I’ve used HubSpot for CRM and WhatsApp Business for instant quotes, but Pulse for Reddit helps me spot local threads where hosts ask for laundry recos. Focus on property managers and airtight ops to win steady accounts.

AI bubble has burst.

Thoughts on CRM?

CRM, PYPL, AMZN only stocks that are not overvalued and have growth potential.

Exactly - now the e-commerce giant AMZN is a tech company.
KO is using MSFT and CRM for AI solutions - does not make them a tech company, but another consumer.

Fun Topic: Switching costs is one of Porter's 5 Forces in the book "Competitive Strategy." He has an entire chapter on the subject and recommend you read it. I work in the hotel management space. If one of our owners decided to change management companies, it only takes a month or two to switch management companies. A huge weakness if you ask me and part of the reason why I would never invest in the space. You are spot on with tech companies such as SalesForce, it would take considerable resources to change CRMs and a CRM is something that needs to be had.

If you want tech, get tech. Consider IGM instead of XLK or QQQ. It is tech, but broader than XLK so that it includes META, GOOGL, and NFLX plus others. And unlike QQQ, it has the NYSE tech stocks like ORCL and CRM.

CRM down on OpenAI partnership means it's bearish for SAAS. They are admitting defeat if they need OpenAI. They have no moat without OpenAI so they are OpenAI's bitches. Same applies to $PATH.

1. Ich habe da mittlere Paket. Bin mir nicht mehr, ob ich den vollen Preis zahle, aber der wäre 25€.
2. Für Zeiterfassung nehme ich clockodo, was ganz gut mit Sevdesk integriert ist. Ich mach die Voranmeldung über Sevdesk. CRM ist nicht der Rede wert, ist für mich eher Stammdatenpflege.
3. Die Zuordnung, die als automatisch beworben wird, funktioniert nur so ok. Ich finde es nicht zu simpel, wünsche mir eher mehr Features.
4. Für mich wäre das absolut uninteressant. Ich will eigentlich mehr zahlen und mehr Features haben.
Wenn du willst kannst du mir auch pms schicken.

The CRM stocks are dropping like crazyyyyy

Tell me how this isn't free money?

CRM feels like a no brainer

Cool, danke! Sevdesk war eine der Optionen die ich mir angeschaut habe.
Darf ich ein paar Fragen dazu stellen?
1. Wie viel zahlst du pro Monat für Sevdesk?
2. Du erwähnst Rechnungen schreiben + Bankkonto-Verbindung, nutzt du noch andere Features (z.B. Zeiterfassung, CRM, Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung) oder hauptsächlich diese beiden?
3. Gibt es was an Sevdesk was dich nervt oder wo du denkst "das ist zu kompliziert für was ich eigentlich brauche"?
4. Wenn du dir vorstellst es gäbe was Simpleres das nur die Buchhaltung-Basics kann (Bank-CSV importieren, Zahlungen automatisch zuordnen, EÜR exportieren) für deutlich weniger Geld, wäre das interessant? Oder brauchst du die Rechnungs-Features auch?
Danke dir! 😊

Frage an Freelancer/Kleingewerbe: Wie organisiert ihr eure Buchhaltung?
Option A: Software (Lexoffice, sevdesk, Accountable)
- Kosten: 15-25€/Monat
- Viele Features die man evtl. nie nutzt (CRM, Zeiterfassung, etc.)
- Bequem, aber teuer
Option B: Excel/Google Sheets
- Kostenlos
- Flexibel
- Aber: Manuell, fehleranfällig, nerviges Zahlungs-Matching
Überlege ein simples Tool zu bauen (8-10€/Monat) das nur die Basics kann:
- Bank-CSV importieren
- Zahlungen automatisch zuordnen
- EÜR exportieren
Fragen an euch:
- Nutzt ihr aktuell Software oder Excel?
- Falls Software: Welche Features nutzt ihr wirklich vs. bezahlt ihr für Features die ungenutzt bleiben?
- Falls Excel: Was nervt am meisten?
- Würde sowas für 8-10€/Monat Sinn machen?
Will checken ob das ein echtes Problem ist bevor ich anfange zu entwickeln.

*I find the only tech that will lose you money. Like CRM. wtf?*

Salesforce is nothing compared to the hate Oracle receives. At least for CRM, one could argue it is used to generate sales.
Yeah. Some customers hate oracle so much, they will form a user group about replacing the db, and deliberately buy other db for the edge, Mongo DB, NoSQL etc but pay for the oracle DB upgrade every year, because they have no choice.
So check for evidence of high switching cost whenever customers pay a higher price compared to the competition, over long periods.

Bro. Not very difficult. I have Adobe at 375, mstr at 400. And CRM at 256.
Oh and not to forget have shorted gold. Lul
I think I need therapy.
