Sales Cloud Consultant Certification - Tips!





Hello friends,
It has been a while since I posted about a superbadge! Up next is either the Einstein Analytics Data Preparation badge or the Einstein Analytics and Discovery Insights Specialist... Any preference?  I started on the data preparation one a long time ago, but was frustrated by the picky syntax requirements and moved on to another project.

What has the Trailhead Baby been doing? Since you asked.... I learned to drive and tackled the Salesforce Sales Cloud Consultant Cert.  This was a surprisingly hard certification, even for someone who has 8+ superbadges.  If you are thinking about taking the test, there are a few topics to brush up on:
  • Territory Management
  • Multi-Currency (and advanced currency management)
  • Forecasts
  • Communities (Partner, Customer, etc)
Focusonforce has a stellar study guide and 4 full length practice tests! I studied...and studied...failed a few practice tests, then finally passed a practice test and decided to go for the real thing.  If you use the online proctoring option, camera angle can be difficult, so make sure to have a few books stacked on your chair so that the proctor can see your whole laptop and testing area.  (The look on the proctor's face when he saw that a 2 year old would be taking the test = priceless)

    Whenever a company decides to hire an outside consultancy firm or consultant, it will be necessary to sign a consultancy agreement before such a hiring takes place. The company may decide to hire these consultants on a temporary basis for the duration of a particular project or programme.

Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 5

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. Process Builder sketch Last night, I drew a rough sketch of my process: Was it pretty?  No. Did it help?  Yes! The sketch allowed me to organize all of the instructions into a reasonable order before I started clicking.  It also removed the approval steps from Process Builder and highlighted (with *'s) the prerequisite items to building my process. * Email Alerts I needed the Email Alerts set up before I could create either the process or ...

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

A confession - I know next to nothing about service cloud.  While I was excited that a new superbadge was available, it made me a little nervous that I had to do all of the prerequisites and tackle new things like macros.  New things - new year - let's get started! (Right after I finish guitar practice) If you are also a service cloud novice, the Omni-Channel Basics is a crucial prerequisite even though it is not officially required. Challenge 1 App Appearance  This, like all superbadges, requires a careful read through the instructions prior to any clicking.  I found it helpful to take a separate notebook and write down the steps that I would need for each challenge step - for example -  My rough notes for challenge 1: Create 2 profiles  Tweak service Console 3 new items on utility bar Allow access for new profiles Create User  Beware - After editing the service console, you might have to edit the new profiles.  I found i...

Lightning Experience Specialist Superbadge - 8

The best present? Santa says that I am getting a little brother in April! Let's import some data!  It's simple to mass delete the records if there are inserted incorrectly - and you have me to help!  The goal with this post is to move beyond the "how" of data import and explain the "why."  The challenge makes more sense when you think about the relationships between the objects.  I'll explain more below. First: A confession I, the Trailhead Baby, am not a perfect Salesforce admin.  Even though I completed this entire Superbadge in 2017, I still messed up the data import badly enough that I had to mass delete all of my records and start over.   Quick tip: It may help to delete the existing data before you start the import.  This way, when you extract recordID's, you only extract the ID's of the records that you have already imported vs. the records that were already in the Trailhead Playground by default. You can use many da...
