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)

    There are many features of Salesforce Sales Cloud including knowledge based technology that gives support through chats, calls, live agents, emails, search engines and others to help the client resolve their query promptly.

    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.

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 4,5,6,7

Part of doing the Service Cloud Specialist superbadge is trying new things, so I am putting up picture of new things that I've tried recently.  One of my favorite new things this week was taking a shower with my whole block collection.  Mom put me in the shower, and I sneaked out to grab the block bin and dumped it in.  I'm concerned to share photos because of the slight nudity, however, I can assure you that it was a glorious adventure.  Instead, I'll share my favorite Saturday new thing- walking to the coffee shop for a sprinkle donut!  Back to the superbadge... Challenge 4 Case Routing If you haven't taken the Onmi Channel module yet, now is a good time! I kept that particular module open one on screen while I walked through this step.  It is hard to give many hints about this step without giving away too many details - so - the best advice is to read through the challenge and label each step with the corresponding Salesforce term.  (IE - "The channel, Sto

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 it necessary to click "edit&quo
