It was about a year ago that Mark Slayton wrote about Salesforce Global variables, it’s a great post and if you haven’t read it already I want you to add it to your reading list. Last week I was doing some work on the org that Jared and I use to manage the podcast- yes […]
From now on I’m going to refer to SXSW as “Nerd Spring Break”. This year was filled with great conversations, a ton of learning, and enlightenment. As a blogger and podcaster there were a ton of people to connect with and as a Salesforce Admin there were many lessons to learn and new technology advancements […]
As a Single Salesforce admin for my org, I wear many hats. I’m the admin, the developer, the business analyst, and the consultant. But my role is part of Sales Operations, so I’m also a data guy, a communications guy, and overall a support guy. But did I also mention the life I live outside […]

This past week I compiled a ton of materials to help get users up to speed fast with Salesforce. It was a lot of the basic stuff, but for me it was a good review of features that I probably forgot or took for granted. As I was combing through some previous training materials I […]
This year I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jared Miller to rethink what it means to be a successful Salesforce Admin and what habits Admins should be following. Our approach was a bit different than in previous years, rather than just adding more habits we took a look at the habits I had proposed […]
Shortly before Dreamforce 2013, Salesforce announced that it will launch a new certification verification page on certification.salesforce.com.
