Show Notes Lars Helgeson, founder and CEO of GreenRope, talks about Complete CRM  [02:17] GreenRope has been able to keep a startup culture alive within the company.  [02:19] Challenges that an integrated CRM can address:  [04:00] * gathering information from all kinds of communication (marketing, sales, customer service) * understanding how different communication channels work together and making them work effectively * helping management understand what is actually happening in their business The traditional CRM model has different pieces of software which are difficult and expensive to link together.  [07:59] On working with Elon Musk's Hyperloop program: GreenRope loves working with companies that have a similar forward-thinking culture.  [10:31] It is the younger generation that is not tied to doing things the same way just because that's what everybody else is doing.  [12:49] There are a lot of companies that are going out of business because they are holding on to the traditional way of doing things.  [17:18] The shift in employee behavior has been a gradual process. [21:23] Did Gen Xers hear a lot of the same things that are now being said of millennials?  [21:36] Millennials are very used to getting access to information very quickly.  [22:12] What might happen if you try to force a millennial into doing something the way a baby boomer may have been used to doing?  [22:30] How can millennials effect a change in the work environment?  [23:00] It doesn't make any sense to call millennials 'entitled' and other such things just because they do things differently. Different is not bad.  [23:30] Millennials need to learn to communicate well with an older generation.  [24:43] Chris and Lars backtrack a bit: What is a CRM?  [28:24] The younger somebody is, the less tolerant they are in dealing with clunky software.  [33:40] How can baby boomers communicate well with millennials? Lars talks about his COO who knows exactly how.  [36:41] Baby boomers need to be patient with millennials.  [27:00][/vc_column_text][/vc_row] Quotes The real value the younger generation brings to the workforce is their different way of thinking. -- Lars Helgeson Even though the millennials are young, they have the fresh ideas that are going to drive what happens next. -- Lars Helgeson One of the greatest strengths of the millennial generation is that they are so free-thinking. -- Lars Helgeson   Links and Mentions GreenRope IBM Better Business Bureau American Marketing Association Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Amazon.com, Inc.
