It occurred to me at Salesforce’s Marketing Cloud event held last week in New York that CRM has come full circle in a fundamental way. I was never a fan of labels like “CRM 2.0” or “Social CRM” or whatever else came along, principally because those monikers didn’t signify anything new in doing business. Certainly you could make a case that those names described some new attributes for the traditional set of apps but that just invites a “so what?” The implicit assumption was that you’d know what to do with the stuff, and that’s saying a lot.
