Jim Cramer on Salesforce: “There's a Lot to Consider Here”

Salesforce just announced a stock buyback program. Which means the people running that company are focused on share price — not on making your workflows easier to manage.

That's not a shot at them. It's just what publicly traded software companies do. When the stock needs defending, that's where the attention goes. Product roadmap decisions follow investor pressure, not your support ticket about the pipeline view that still doesn't match how your team actually stages deals.

Jim Cramer called it a stock worth watching right now. Fine. But you're not buying shares — you're trying to run a business on software that was built to please analysts, not operators.

Here's what that means practically: every dollar Salesforce puts into buybacks is a dollar not going into the flexibility you've been waiting 18 months for. The features you need aren't coming on your timeline. They're coming when the roadmap committee says so.

You've already been through the cycle — big platform, expensive consultant, 6-month rollout, same problems with a different logo on the login screen. The issue was never which CRM you picked. It was that none of them were built around the way your business actually runs.

A buyback is a company telling you exactly where its priorities are.
