Fun Fact:
I’ve played percussion instruments for 25 years, and always wanted to be a professional drummer.
Our company started to use Salesforce more and more, and needed a skilled Admin. I was a sales representative, but the company saw that I was skilled with technology and that I had great business acumen, so they asked me to take on the role of Salesforce Admin. I’m very happy that I got this opportunity because I enjoy working on such a wonderful platform.
I love the moment when I solve a problem. There is such an amazing feeling of accomplishment because I’ve found a way to satisfy my users using the platform. I also love sharing these moments with the Salesforce community, and I try to meet and connect with people in the community to find answers to more problems and get best practices. The more problems I get to solve, the better Admin I become.
You have to be patient. Your users are not as familiar with Salesforce as you, so they may ask you the same questions many times.

Take the time to understand how your users use Salesforce in their jobs, and make sure that you are solving problems in ways that fit their needs.
