Salesforcin' comes in many flavors.
This became starkly apparent many years ago when a Salesforce developer was helping me troubleshoot something. We needed to know how many records there were that met some criteria for a certain object.
“Got it!”
In unison, we indicated that we knew the answer, and each turned our laptops a bit so the other could see.
Then, simultaneously, we both asked, “What is that?”
He had run a search through the Developer Console. At that time, I had no idea there was such a thing or that one could use SOQL to query the data. 🤔🤔
I’d used my Admin skills and quickly ran a report with a chart to visualize the data. He’d never used the standard reporting features.
Two experienced Salesforce professionals. Two totally different perspectives.
Your version of Salesforcin’ might involve code or clicks or both. It might involve a big company, a small start-up, a college, a not-for-profit, or anything in between.
You might help companies solve sales challenges, reduce friction when customers have issues, or fine-tune their manufacturing forecast. You might interact with marketing, IT, donors, or no one at all if you take a “behind-the-scenes” role.
You might be a generalist or hone in on something very specific, like CPQ or deploying Salesforce for insurance brokers.
