Periscope all the things!

We want all Salesforce Admins to have fun while we are at the world tour stops so we tried to periscope as many sessions as possible. If you follow me (@mikegerholdt), Gillian (@gmadill), Kris Lande (@KrisLande), or Sarah Franklin (@swbjoyce) on twitter you can view the live videos. Our periscope videos from New York have expired- they only last 24 hours- but I promise we will be doing more at upcoming events. And if you listen to the podcast, Gillian and I will be LIVE periscoping upcoming interviews.

Amazing stories!

Every tour stop has amazing stories from Admins and New York city has some #AwesomeAdmins! Linda Hou (left) was on our podcast back in December, since then Linda has worked diligently on her yearly habit of getting Salesforce Certified and proudly announced she has her Admin certification! Way to go Linda!

Robin Stephani (right) was a brand new Admin. She decided to spend her day in the admin zone and left me with this advice- “Thank you! It was such great advice to stay in the Admin Zone today!” I want to be sure to thank all of our customer presenters and volunteers who made the Admin zone possible.

 

Let’s keep the conversation going!
