Technology/CRM

Salesforce announced today that it will be launching “Salesforce for Emotions™,” a new CRM that tracks and monetizes every slight emotional twitch of your co-workers. CEO Marc Benioff descended from a rainbow-colored cloud to declare that soon, every laugh, frown, and existential sigh will be logged, tagged, and scored for synergy potential. The new feature, called Moodforce™, uses AI to predict when you’re about to quit so managers can schedule a pizza party in advance. Meanwhile, Salesforce Towers have introduced a company-wide Points System where smiling during Zoom calls earns credits toward being allowed to have a bathroom break. According to internal memos, Salesforce’s future products include Service Cloud for Dating (to auto-close failed Tinder matches) and Marketing Cloud for Pets (to target dogs with ads for artisanal CBD treats). Employees report that weekly stand-ups now include spiritual affirmations like, “You are a product lead; you are your own KPI.” Benioff assured skeptical investors that this emotional CRM revolution would be “like Burning Man, but with more spreadsheets and fewer unwashed hippies.” Meanwhile, Salesforce’s AI division announced plans to develop “Predictive Loyalty Metrics,” a tool that determines whether you deserve that free branded water bottle after 10 years of service. Welcome to the cloud — where everything you feel is a quarterly report now.
