CRM MVP Podcast

I'm not a big fan of reviewing the latest and greatest technology, those episodes never age well; but I am a big fan of former 9x Microsoft MVP and current Microsoft Global Black Belt for Power Platform Scott Sewell.

Before joining Microsoft, Scott implemented Dynamics 365/CRM for organizations around the country, so his take on new technology, solutions, and innovation originating from the Power Platform team is always grounded on real world application of these solutions.

Get ready to take some notes and listen to this conversation with Scott where we tackle Artificial Intelligence (and the services currently available for Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform), Power BI, Flow, and the never-ending tangents we kept going into.

On this episode, I tackle 15 different scenarios where today's consultants and solution architects are acting based on emotions or "feelings" rather than facts.

The reality is that fact based consulting always performs better in the real world.

I can already tell you are going to disagree about these, you might even be skeptical about my warnings, you will perhaps even be mad about the horrible news I've come to bear today; but this list is real and you need to take it seriously.

Here are the Top 10 things you need to STOP using in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.

If you are using one or more of these on your current Dynamics 365 Solution, or if you are planning to implement any of these, STOP IMMEDIATELY.

The Microsoft Business Applications Summit is over and there is an overwhelming number of new features coming. So I sat down with Rami Mounla, former Microsoft MVP and Enterprise Solution Architect to discuss how can organizations get the most value out of Dynamics 365 and these features that are coming, as well as ways that organizations are leaving money on the table by paying for access to potentially game changing functionality they don't even know they have access to!

One of the most effective ways to increase your impact in the community - and even become an MVP - is to build your brand.

As MVPs we get to meet countless super talented professionals who have so much to offer to the community but whose voices and contributions go largely unnoticed since they lack a personal brand.

So how do you stand out in the crowd?

How do you build a reputation that draws people to learn from you?

How do you build a personal brand when you operate under the shadow of your organization?

These and more important questions are answered by four CRM MVPs who have built a personal brand over the years.
