Essential Habits for Salesforce Admins Just Got Bigger and Better

Editor’s note: Essential Habits for Salesforce Admins has been refreshed and is now available on Trailhead. Now you can review the core responsibilities and essential habits you need to grow your admin career in the new Essential Habits for Salesforce Admins badge.

Essential Habits for New Admins has been a long-standing resource for #AwesomeAdmins everywhere. You may have seen it on stages at World Tours or Dreamforce. You can also watch it on any given Friday at 9:30 am PT on Trailhead Live. Why, you may ask, do we continue to run this session? Because developing strong habits to support your admin career is vital to your success! And now, we’re thrilled to share… Essential Habits for New Admins is expanding to include four new Trailhead Live episodes!

Three things you should know

1. No matter where you are in your journey as an Admin, the Essential Habits for Salesforce Admins episodes will become a valuable tool in your toolbelt both for your own learning and for sharing with others to help them along.
2. Second, if you’ve watched Essential Habits for New Admins already this year, you know that there are four core responsibilities all Salesforce Admins share: User Management, Data Management, Security, and Actionable Analytics. In the original session, we cover each responsibility in a few slides, then show you a few habits you can do to ensure you’re upholding these responsibilities. Now you can go deep into each core responsibility by watching the respective episode.  We’ll equip you with actionable habits you can adopt weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually to ensure that you can confidently accomplish everything.
3. And finally, this series doesn’t have a “beginning” or “end,” — you can’t view them “out of order.” We designed these to be viewed in whatever order you need, dive in where you need!
