SAP CRM
Blogged date : 2007 May 19
Why did you choose mscrmfreak as the name of your blog? I get this question a lot from partners and customers. I would like to explain it here by using some examples.
- A devoted fan or follower; enthusiast: a baseball freak.
- A person who is wildly enthusiastic about something: a film-freak.
After reading the above examples, it should be clear to you that I, even after almost 9 years in the CRM business, still love CRM. The great benefit of choosing a "different" name for my blog is that people remember it without writing it down. If people do forget, they remember two words "freaky" and "CRM". Guess what shows up when you type these two words in your favorite search engine....?
Below I pasted the translation of "freak" in many languages. If your language is not here, please feel free to add it in the comments.
