Doug Wendt, CEO of Wendt Partners, Challenges the Rise of Headless CRM in the Age of AI
QUEENS, NEW YORK - JULY 31, 2026
There’s a huge movement afoot to suggest that the future of CRM is headless, and that the days of salespeople logging into a CRM are, indeed, numbered.

Key Takeaways:
- The author rejects the headless CRM trend, asserting that a robust visual CRM UI/UX is essential for absorbing context and making smart decisions, while voice or chat interfaces like Slack and Teams undermine strategic selling.
- He argues that AI increases the importance of structured CRM interfaces by sharpening the data presented to capable, human-in-the-loop sales professionals who must engage thoughtfully with the system.
