How many times have you ordered delivery food…
You open the bag.
Everything smells amazing.
And then you see it.
“Oh good… they sent a proper plastic fork.”
It looks strong.
It looks solid.
It looks like it can handle the pasta.
You take two bites.
Crack.
One side breaks.
You try to continue.
Now it bends.
Now you’re basically scooping food with a broken triangle.
You get annoyed.
But come on… it’s plastic.
It was never meant to last.
It’s disposable.
It just looked like a real fork.
Now let’s talk about systems.
And CRMs.
How many times have companies adopted a system thinking:
“This is it.”
“This will solve everything.”
“It looks perfect.”
At the beginning?
It works.
Dashboards look clean.
Reports are there.
Sales team is happy.
Marketing feels organized.
Then…
Cracks start showing.
It can’t scale.
It can’t integrate properly.
Customization becomes complicated.
Data becomes messy.
eams create workarounds.
Adoption drops.
And suddenly…
You’re trying to run a growing business with a plastic fork.
The problem isn’t that it was “bad.”
The problem is that it was built to be disposable.
Quick setup.
Short-term fix.
Surface-level structure.
It looks like a real system.
But it’s not built for pressure.
Growing companies don’t need disposable tools.
They need durable infrastructure.
That’s where long-term platforms come in.
Salesforce isn’t a plastic fork.
It’s the metal one you’ve used for years.
It handles pressure.
It scales when you grow.
It integrates with everything.
It evolves with your business.
It’s not just about managing contacts.
It’s about building an ecosystem sales, marketing, service, data, automation all connected, all scalable.
Yes, durable systems require more intention.
More planning.
Better implementation.
But they don’t crack when the business grows.
The real question is:
Are you building your company on disposable tools…
or durable systems?
Because at some point, growth puts pressure on everything.
And that’s when the plastic fork always breaks.
