SPOTLIGHT: The Problem With Your CRM Nobody Talks About | Ramin Heydari, CEO & President @ XYZies
Notes de l’épisode
You have the CRM. You have the data. You have the sales team. You have the AI tools. So why does everything still feel broken? Ramin Heydari, CEO & President of XYZies, has spent more than 30 years building businesses across telecom, sales, distribution, and technology.
In this episode of Topline Spotlight, he explains why fragmented systems can become one of the biggest obstacles to growth and why AI requires businesses to rethink how they operate, not simply add another tool.
Sam Jacobs sits down with Ramin to unpack the shift from traditional growth to 10X thinking, the problem with scattered data and sales systems, and how AI can create real-time visibility and coaching across an organization.
What we get into:
- Why businesses need to think beyond traditional growth - Why adding AI to existing software isn't enough - The hidden cost of fragmented systems and data - How AI can provide real-time coaching and performance feedback - Why continuous improvement matters more than occasional reviews - What a truly AI-powered CRM could look like - The leadership principle: "The future belongs to those who can see it before it becomes obvious."
