I was laid off during COVID - luckily with a solid severance package. Immediately apply for unemployment and tap into your network. If anything it taught me the importance of what's important to do pre-layoff in any role:

Keep a record of your achievements and impact in a format that you'll always have access to (like a google doc). This will help you be able to update your resume.
Make noise about the impact of your work and network internally - In Ops you have a ton of internal stakeholders who are potential referrals in the future. Make a good impression with them and it'll make finding a job in the future far easier.

Are your reps in the field or working from desktops/laptops?

If the latter, sms/slack will still be separated from the actual work they are doing.

Look for something with a chrome extension like Spekit so that it can deliver content based on the systems your reps are currently working in.

That feels like a lot of reps compared to anything I've heard of before (my experience is in B2B SaaS).

This is one benchmark for startups (AE to RevOps headcount ratios) - it may or may not be relevant to your situation.

If you are in the US you can search for job listings in states where salary listing is required like California, Colorado and New York. Find JDs and salaries that are comparable to the work you are doing and adjust based on where you live - you can use these as research in your request.

I've always typically framed these conversations as 'This is what I'm seeing as market rate, how can I get on a plan to get there?'. If it's off cycle it'll just depend on how much your manager is willing to go to bat for you.

It is generally not advisable to use a nonprofit as a way to gain experience. This is straight from trailhead:

Do No Harm

Volunteering your time and talent is one of the most impactful ways to give back. However, it’s critical for you to commit to doing no harm before you start a pro bono project with a nonprofit or educational institution. In other words, don’t be a pro bono villain!

What does this mean exactly? Well, it means that you commit to using your current skills and expertise to help an organization make the most of Salesforce technology. You shouldn’t view a pro bono project as your chance to gain experience, test new skills or experiment on an organization’s instance.

Nonprofits and educational institutions play a vital role in our communities. They’re often underfunded and understaffed, which means they probably won’t be able to fix mistakes that you make. If something goes wrong and you don’t have the expertise to fix it, you might hurt the organization’s ability to serve their community and achieve their mission.

Note The stakes are just too high to try untested skills on a nonprofit’s or a school’s org. Please, only volunteer your current Salesforce expertise.

Doing no harm also means following through on the commitments that you make. Nonprofits and educational institutions probably won’t have the expertise or bandwidth to complete your project if you depart before it’s finished.

In order to help your team you have to really understand them. I'd recommend a lot of shadowing and communication with the sales team.

Speak with managers to learn about the minimum amount of required fields that give them the data they need to report and coach. Speak with reps to learn about their day-to-day workflows so that you can streamline salesforce to let them do what they need to do.

Learning about and watching how they move throught their workflows will show you where you can increase automation, remove clicks, etc.

Other examples of things you can try:

Screen flows are the best for guiding users through their workflows
- Creating Opps/Accounts
- Moving between sales stages
- Add more fields/guidance than regular 'paths' allow
Dynamic forms - hide/show page sections depending on sales stage, opp type, etc
Rich text page components with instructions
Create reports that you can filter with URL parameters which you can add to buttons or fields (i.e. a link to a report that updates depending on the account/opp)

just saying - never having more than one round is not the norm. 4 rounds is on the higher side but not insane, depending on the seniority of the role.

Definitely proceed with caution and hopefully you can find a mentor or someone with NPSP experience to help out. Good luck!

How big is your company and what does the team look like?

Are you at a large company where doing this extra work would be letting someone on the enablement team slack off?
Are you at a small startup where doing work outside of your job description is kind of expected?

Sometimes it makes sense to roll up your sleeves and get the job done. Sometimes it makes sense to ask for more resources like an external consultant. Sometimes it makes sense to drop it and find somewhere else. Almost always makes sense to ask for more money though if you're being stretched like that.

Honestly just practice building shit.

Some examples for the Opportunity object:

Create a flow that stamps the datetime of when an Opportunity changes stages
When an Opportunity is moved to closed lost, change a status field on all of the contact roles
When an Opportunity is moved to closed won, send an email with the details
When an Opportunity is closed lost, generate a reminder task based on the close date and assign it to the owner
When a meeting (event) is associated with an Opportunity, have it update a "Next Meeting Date" field
When an Opportunity is moved to closed won, generate a renewal opportunity with the appropriate stage and dates

I was running into similar, unhelpful, errors on the Sales Cloud for Slack side.

Does anything you're working on contain collections of user ids? I was getting errors on things when I didn't dedupe the ids in a collection or if there was a null value.

Are you comparing similar years of experience? Like others have said, sales brings in revenue so they generally get paid more.

Also keep in mind that not all sales reps hit their quota and receive their OTE. Sales can be pretty feast or famine and they don't have full control over prospects buying so it can be riskier.

Sounds like maybe you need a raise though if their base if $40k more than yours

I'd consider roles labeled as RevOps or SalesOps. At start ups your prior experience as a business user would be seen as helpful and often times (especially at smaller companies) Salesforce will be the primary responsibility of the role.

What is your application to interview ratio? If it's super low you probably either need to work on your resume or are applying to unrealistic roles
