Service Cloud Consultant Certification - Tips & Study Path


Trailhead Baby readers - How well do you know service cloud? Until a few weeks ago, my knowledge of service cloud was limited to an understanding that it exists. "You use service cloud?  Cool.  Isn't that for tracking cases?"  Weak, I know!  Then, Salesforce posted a Service Cloud superbadge.... Before doing the superbadge, I had to complete all of the prerequisites - showing my total ignorance of service cloud!  The superbadge itself was not that bad, so I thought, "Hey, why not tackle a Service cloud certification?"  (Plus, it is scheduled to rain tomorrow, so I can not go fishing) The next day....


Intrigued?
Before we get to the "how," a huge Thank You is due to my great-grandmas from Illinois!  You are two of my most faithful readers - and this is how I spent the cash that you gave me for Christmas.  (I didn't have to sneak mom's credit card like I did last time!) 

From 0 to Certified....
In case you are curious or are also thinking about a Service Cloud Consultant Certification...
PS - I'm not a consultant nor do I use service cloud on a daily basis-  I just thought it would be a fun cert to have.  This attitude made for low stress test taking and preparation - which made it much easier than the "I need to pass this thing!" feelings that I had towards the Admin Cert.   The moral- relax! It is unlikely that the word will end if you do not pass the cert test the first time, but hopefully you will!

      Yes- and they are great! The practice tests were actually much more difficult than the real test. I did about 20% better on the real test that my best practice test.

      Thanks. Do you recommend the course or just the tests? I did the service cloud superbadge recently like you which helped brushing up my service cloud knowledge...

      Both. I read through the course / took a practice test then passed the cert. I decided to use focus on force early on Thursday, studied Thurs afternoon / Friday morning then took the cert on Friday. Caveat - I've done a ton of superbadges and a lot of the concepts are pretty similar.

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom! Tonight's challenge involves the creation of two processes.   Processes.  Have you guessed the theme of the photos that go along with the Trailhead - Process Automation Specialist Superbadge series?They are a few of my favorite day to day processes!  You, my amazing reader, get more than tips for a Salesforce Superbadge.  You also get personal insight into the life of a Trailhead Baby!  I hope that you feel inspired.

Security Superbadge -2

Challenge 2: Record-Level Security Settings I created the three user profiles last time, so the starting point tonight was the next tier of security - roles.  I set up the roles per the provided org chart, making sure to follow the opportunity restrictions from the directions. Next, I set up the required user and assigned her to the correct profile and role. Hint:   Use a real email address for Samantha Cordero.  You will need to login as Samantha in order to create an opportunity for her.  While you are at it, go ahead and login to Salesforce1 as Samantha. Once Salesforce1 is enabled, you can set up the appropriate permissions.  You may want to take take a peek at a Salesforce Knowledge Article .   Me - as a Project Manager. Next, I addressed the special role - Project Managers Project Managers require a role, permission set, and a  sharing rule.  Whew! For the final step, I set up the remaining sharing rules in     ...

Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it!  My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk.  He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup.  You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor.  It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge.  Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages.  This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax.  A few common errors: You can see this error and st...
