Does your team feel welcome in the CRM?
Yesterday I mentioned what happens operationally when only one person truly understands the CRM.
But operational troubles aren't the only impact. It also creates an emotional impact.
For the person managing it:
It can feel like pressure. Responsibility. Isolation.
They know too much — and they’re afraid no one else can take it on.
For everyone else:
It can feel like walking on eggshells.
Afraid to try something. Afraid to ask the “wrong” question.
Or worse — afraid to admit they’re confused.
That’s not a software problem.
It’s a culture problem.
But here’s the thing:
It’s totally fixable.
You don’t need everyone to be an expert.
You just need people to feel safe asking, trying, and slowly learning.
A strong CRM system is one that invites participation — not just protects it.
All the best,
A.
