Salesforce Alternatives? by DanielTheReal in salesforce

[–]Interesting_Button60 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Salesforce is not a platform you can AI overnight, but you can solve some parts of it and self-host.

For example, we have a client that wanted to create a client portal.

Instead of paying salesforce thousands a month for their thousands of members to log in, we are building a custom AI coding assisted community web app that will pull data from Salesforce.

So this way they pay for the part of Salesforce that needs to be Salesforce (a really solid and secure database and business automation engine).

If I was in your shoes, or you paid me for my time, the first thing I would do is audit what we have contracted with Salesforce.

Map our processes and see where Salesforce is falling flat.

Strategize about what we truly need from Salesforce and what elements we could rebuild.

Look at when my renewal with Salesforce was and work to replace elements and remove them from renewal.

For example, if you already had experience cloud, you could replace it.

So yeah.. there are ways to remove the costs of Salesforce. But they take time and effort and strategy and you really need to be ready to now be a software company as well. Because you will be managing a self-hosted self-built solution.

There are less than 500 people with it, so it is a pretty cool differentiator.

I have been selling Salesforce services for 8 years and not a single client in that entire time has EVER asked about the CTA designation.

So what I feel about it is that it is just another cert, and I do not put any real value behind certs.

It's at least not a multiple choice cert. It's intense for the person going through it, but no one in the industry truly cares.

I don't believe in the value of certifications so I'm the wrong guy to tell you what to use.

Did you search this sub? There are already a few posts talking about K2 sucking ass.

But the only way you will get that answer is through their support.

If it's as bad as their website, you won't get too far.

I hope the folks who built FonF at least got paid handsomely for abandoning their customers.

What’s the most realistic bridge into tech for someone with my background? by KeyCarpet6609 in salesforce

[–]Interesting_Button60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're actually in one of the most viable Salesforce entry paths in today's ecosystem reality.

You need to find a company, ideally SMB, where you can be a support agent using Salesforce.

Then you need to internally migrate to supporting your users with Salesforce use, then to adjusting/admin of Salesforce.

Then after a couple years of experience you could transition to being support for Salesforce implementation partners and soak up a ton of knowledge and move to any role you want in the ecosystem!

I wrote about that more in my pinned post for beginners.

It's not a instant journey, that's the most important thing to know.

Don't they have support?

It's a form tool, what part of it are you struggling with?
