If there’s a single aspect you’ll see about CRM promotion, it’s this: CRM vendors are constantly comparing the features and functionality of their offering versus others. Every one of them will assert that theirs is the best. What’s fascinating, though, is that despite these endless claims, CRM adoption rate is very low. In fact, per CSO Insights, less than 40 percent of CRM customers have end-user adoption rates above 90 percent.

With smaller groups or one on one’s, I frequently talk about “The Joy of Selling… ” To some this concept may seem a little too soft and abstract. Some react, “Dave, we’ve got to focus on hitting the numbers, achieving our growth goals! It’s tough work and sellers need to be tough minded!” Increasingly, I don’t encounter many people, at all levels, that are proud of being sellers.

I read a fascinating editorial by David Brooks, People Are More Generous Than You May Think. A line stood out, “Humanity hasn’t thrived all these centuries because we’re ruthlessly selfish; we’ve thrived because we’re really good at cooperation.” I had to re-read the article a few times, but it gradually sunk in. As I reflect on what we see happening in buying/selling, we see validation of this in virtually every interaction.

Google Ads is introducing a new policy to combat scams and help prevent misleading ads. The platform will now have a “get-to-know-you” period for advertisers it doesn’t know well. During this time, Google Ads may limit how many impressions unfamiliar advertisers receive. The Limited Ads Serving policy will apply when an advertiser targets specific brands in their campaign but the relationship between the ad and brand is unclear, Google said.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

Human interaction is remarkably inefficient. It’s downright sloppy. We come into conversations with our own biases, hopes, dreams, beliefs, values, fears, experiences, points of view, and goals. We engage others, each with their own biases, hopes, dreams, beliefs, values, fears, experiences, points of view, and goals. And each person in a conversation brings these factors into the conversation… As conversations progress, things change.

Decision fatigue refers to the progressive decline in the quality of choices made by an individual, brought on by the sheer volume of decisions one must make. Essentially, the brain has a finite reserve of decision-making power, and as one navigates through many choices, this cognitive reserve becomes increasingly depleted. As a result, the quality of decisions made starts to deteriorate.
