The Hidden Cost of Stale CRM Data (and How to Fix It with Automation)

Your sales rep finally reaches out to a "hot lead" that marketing flagged weeks ago, only to discover that the contact no longer works there. Or worse, the company has merged, and your CRM still lists them under an outdated domain. It's frustrating, time-wasting, and surprisingly common. CRM systems are supposed to be the single source of truth for customer relationships. Yet, for many businesses, that "truth" becomes outdated faster than they realize.

How to get your organization aligned for the AI age | MarTech

Over 40 minutes, the panel returned again and again to three themes: data quality, organizational alignment and cultural readiness. The consensus was clear: AI doesn't create order from chaos. If organizations don't evolve their culture and their standards, AI will accelerate dysfunction, not fix it. Clean data isn't optional anymore Allen set the tone from the executive perspective. He argued that enterprises must build alignment on high-quality, structured and standardized data within teams and across workflows, applications and departments.

One of the most common reasons that AI products fail? Bad data | Fortune

"What we had noticed was there was an underlying problem with our data," Ahuja said. When her team investigated what had happened, they found that Salesforce had published contradictory "knowledge articles" on its website."It wasn't actually the agent. It was the agent that helped us identify a problem that always existed," Ahuja said. "We turned it into an auditor agent that actually checked our content across our public site for anomalies. Once we'd cleaned up our underlying data, we pointed it back out, and it's been functional."
