Roadmap to learn Salesforce

With the expectation of 18 million job opportunities to be created worldwide by 2028, Salesforce has emerged as one of the most appealing career prospects.

Amidst the abundance of free and paid resources, selecting the ideal path for learning Salesforce can be a daunting task.

Before you start learning Salesforce, it's important to ask a question to yourself whether you want to become a Salesforce Admin, Salesforce Developer or take any other role.

To get better clarity, you can ask the following questions:

• Do you like solving problems or coding?
• Do I like solving problems and dealing with information?
• Am I good at talking to others and working together?
• What are my long-term career goals?

Once you understand your strengths, it will help you select the right career path and kickstart a rewarding career in Salesforce.

Learn the Basics

• Create a free Salesforce developer edition account and start exploring the platform.
• Get your hands dirty on Trailhead, Salesforce's own free learning platform.
• It offers various modules organized into trails focusing on specific topics. You can earn digital badges and points as recognition of completed modules.
• It also offers access to a helpful community of learners and experts. If you have questions or get stuck, you can reach out to the community and often find those queries answered there.

Choose the right Career Path

• Once you are familiar with the platform choose the track that matches what you like and what you're good at.
• The good part is as you learn more and get better at Salesforce, you can switch to a different track that suits your skills and interests even more.

Develop your skills

• Once you select a career path for yourself, you'll need to develop specific skills to excel in your career in that particular direction.
• Apart from the trailhead, there are multiple resources which you can leverage and upgrade your skills.
• Always have a focus on implementing whatever you learn in the free Salesforce developer org.

Networking is the Key

• Building a network is really important for your professional growth.
• Join the local Salesforce user groups in your cities. This is a way to meet other people who use Salesforce and learn from them.

• Crafting an impressive LinkedIn profile is akin to developing your online resume. It serves as a platform to demonstrate your proficiency in Salesforce and facilitates connections with like-minded professionals in the industry.
• Think of it as a digital business card that can significantly enhance your visibility among potential employers and fellow Salesforce enthusiasts.

Give back to the Community

• As you become more experienced with Salesforce, you can help the Salesforce community by guiding others, writing articles, or delivering sessions at community group events.
• Sharing what you know not only benefits others but also strengthens your own skills and knowledge.
