With what they charge when they have you by the gonads, it’s surprising they could be in turbulence.

Just a bubble popping back to normal valuations, there's nothing turbulent about it. The real headline is Salesforce, AMZN, TSLA, etc come back down to earth from speculation exuberance.

More companies are becoming savvy to Salesforce, and wary of placing the company testicles into the vice.

So sales are slipping away to competitors who are easier to control costs with. Which is impacting forecasts.

I had a meeting with Salesforce. I wanted a price on one specific piece of software. I sat in the hugely expensive office, and listened to the pitch. The add ons. The upsell. They wanted $5m pa more that the competition, and when I didn’t purchase they chased my VP’s for a meeting to sell the ‘opportunity’. I shut that entire conversation down with the cost, two messages on teams, and they were done.

They are not cost effective, nor unique, nor trusted anymore.

Can we all say fuck lightning template?

Honestly, in the company i work for we struggle to get data we need to do proper analytics and the usability blows honestly. For the price they charge I’d beg they stop using it as for the guy building infra for analytics it’s just plain headaches.

They royally fucked my company with their acquisition of Tableau. Struggling to even fulfill orders + months of delays.

I went to that conference! Salesforce was hard selling the acquisition. They booked the entire old Vegas trip just for their party. Absolute waste of money but it was a fun event. I hate tableau
