Before any awards arrived, these men and women were developing skills and working toward their professional goals. Microsoft Dynamics CRM MVP Gus Gonzalez writes in a new blog post that he gets the question "How can I become a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Professional?" from time to time, and decided to gather input from twenty CRM MVPs (including himself) to answer twenty questions in hopes of shedding light on the topic.
Gathering responses from CRM MVPs with very different backgrounds gives the Gonzalez's post an interesting range of perspectives, with some responses that might expected (most respondents have five or more years experience with Dynamics CRM), while others are somewhat surprising (four of these MVPs do not have college degrees).
