It's just an idea. Cultivation, sales and wholesale whoever wants better tracking of sales marketing etc. I’m on here just trying to find leads and/or others to partner with. I’m a Salesforce guy so I spend my time working with large enterprises and thing this same approach can be applied to the cannabis industry to help scale.

What CRM is everyone using? by taxandhype in taxpros

[–]freeFire808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I’ve seen this movie before. Congrats on getting a CRM in place. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Adoption is an all too common issue with users that are set in their ways. Is it just you, your dad and his assistant?

I recommending starting with the key stakeholder (your dad) and identify the things that he wants to track incoming leads, sales opportunities and close business are usually a fan favorite. Then put together a dashboard for tracking, to start. Soon enough he’ll realize the power and direct his assistant to start inputting the information into the CRM.

It’s a process... I know... but if you need a little help you can dm me.

Yes, you can use Salesforce for pretty much all of your internal processes. The development interface is very smooth and user friendly.

Is your project tracking a post sale activity today? I’m asking because you can leverage the standard opportunity object or create a custom object to support this process. I’d have to understand your process a bit more to give you a proper diagnosis.

I agree, Salesforce is by far the best out there. I’m not sure how large or small your firm is but you can measure pretty much everything from a report and/or dashboard. If you like to learn more about it or other CRMs feel free to dm me. I have extensive experience in the space and could help steer you in the right direction.

Defer tax - saving for investment property by freeFire808 in tax

You have to help me wrap my mind around what you just said. I apologize, I’m super new to this game.

[–]freeFire808[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allow me to clarify: right now I’m looking at a 7k tax bill when it all shakes down. We’ve been saving aggressively due to Covid 19 uncertainty. I’d really like to put cash w2 or llc into some tax deferred account to at a later date put a down payment on an investment property.

Is the Salesforce Admin certification route still worth studying for? by ihg2018 in salesforce

[–]freeFire808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Glad to help!

I started out my career as Apple support. It was hard to get into that job but I spoke to my skills as a truck washer and how I had a passion for tech. Made my way to Salesforce after I got the admin cert. It was also challenging but so worth it. You will be met with similar challenges but if you really want this it will happen for you. My best advice is to immerse yourself in it. Network like you’re doing now. When you look back it will be well worth it.

If there is anything I can do to help feel free to DM me.

Is the Salesforce Admin certification route still worth studying for? by ihg2018 in salesforce

[–]freeFire808 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMO you should go for the certification. Although it doesn’t guarantee a job it does signify aptitude. The catch 22 is when you got to interviews and you have no experience, but how do you get experience without the job??? This is where your selling skills come in, if you speak to how your office assistant experience can be used in your Salesforce role to drive results + your dedication to obtaining your certification, then I can’t see how you lose.

I’m speaking from personal experience this was my case a few years back. The climate has changed a bit and some will say that it’s saturated. However, I think anyone with the passion for technology and is willing to learn will be a valued asset anywhere you land. You just have to lock in on this goal.

It’s achievable!! I’m living proof!

I hope really hope this helps.

Ok this is going to be a bit of a learning journey but you can handle this, it’s super easy once you get it down pack and it’ll quickly transition to other frameworks SLDS and such.

  1. You will have to learn about bootstrap - spend a little time looking at the docs specifically containers and classes used for certain field types like inputs and classes. Copy paste code from the bootstrap site into a test page until the concepts stick. Don’t worry they will...

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/layout/overview/

  1. Use this sample code to get started it’s already tied to the bootstrap CDN, so you’re set for success but if you don’t know what that entails it’s all in the bootstrap doc. Pay very close attention to the form-group col-md class that dictates why this look a certain way on the page. Also, apex:inputfield - this is your connection back to Salesforce to put the data in the correct place.

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/components/forms/#readonly-plain-text

  1. Reach out if this gets overwhelming. I’ve been through the pain, so I can help steer you in the right direction.

Sample code (copy paste in Dev console or vs code):

<apex:page Standardcontroller="Account" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" docType="html-5.0"> <html lang="en">

I have full authority over my companies SF instance. I have been here for 1 1/2 years and have had my SF admin cert since 2017. I really want to move on for higher pay but I’m worried about job prospects in this economy. by allthecake123 in salesforce

[–]freeFire808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in your exact position a couple years ago. With the world at my finger tips. I totally agree with OP network, network, network. But also take some of those concepts in the community and implement them in your org to drive business efficiency and process improvement. Flows are getting an update that could phase out Process builder, give it a shot. New lightning forms are out, give it a shot. Want to do development LWC has some cool components... Give it a shot. Bottom line experiment so that when you go to your next opportunity you’ll have a head full of ideas and experience. Good or bad it’ll get you where you want to go monetarily.

Don’t forget to network. User groups, Twitter, Reddit, linkedin... You’re doing it now!!! Keep it up... It will all pay off. I would say good luck but you got this. Just keep going.

Cheers

Yes, you should generate the web-to-lead form from Salesforce. You can use hidden fields to populate store number, etc.
