Happy New Year, Salesforce Admins!
As we start our new year’s resolutions – new diets, new exercise plans, new habits, new practices – let’s take a moment and think about how to make 2017 a year when we become even more awesome Admins. What better way to do that than by getting inspired by stories from some real Admins?
In this round of Admin Stories we learn that sometimes, the best motivation to take on a challenge is being told that you can’t do it. That was how Mary Tagler got fired up to become a Salesforce Admin, leading her to a satisfying role where now she gets to see people use what she built every day. We also learn about the power of the community in Carlos Frias’ story, who was drawn to Salesforce because of the passion he saw other Admins had for connecting with each other. Our first Admin Story from the UK is Louise Lockie, who found Salesforce reluctantly, but then embraced the challenge of being an Admin which unlocked endless possibilities for her career.
These stories from Mary, Carlos, and Louise will help you kick off 2017 with some new ideas about what’s possible for you in your career. We’d love to know what goals you are setting for yourself this year, so please share them with us @salesforceadmns. Make 2017 the year of you becoming and even more awesome Admin!
