Positivity, Bunsen Burners, Velcro & Sage CRM

Positivity, Bunsen Burners, Velcro & Sage CRM

Lots of ideas floating around in my head these days for blogs. The creativity juices have really been flowing. But like with my horse- rein back seems to have to come into play for control and impulsion.

I’m loving the new Belle XI song- Velcro. I’m a fan of their lyrics. I was sorry I didn’t get to see them when they played in the Theatre Royal in Waterford recently. So “I’ll be your Positive” is so true today for me. In Business. Personally.

Then “Velcro”. Great stuff, one of those things like Tetra Packs (Erik Wallenberg)and Cats Eyes (Percy Shaw) that you wish you’d invented. George de Mestral invented “Velcro” after his dog was covered in burrs from a hunting trip. He investigated them under a microscope and came up with the idea of binding two materials with a simple material. Similarly that’s how I see Belle XI’s success- binding two simple things- lyrics and catchy music to make a successful song.

CRM is a bit like Velcro. Binding two simple concepts for businesses- accounts and sales- seamlessly. SageCRM provides integration with leading ERP solutions as well as with Microsoft Outlook, so business owners can view more complete data and make the most of their current solutions.

Oh, and hats off to Robert Wilhelm Eberhard Bunsen, he would have celebrated his 200^th Birthday today if he had invented a long life elixir, instead he refined the Bunsen burner with his lab assistant Peter Desaga.
