As Salesforce has grown exponentially over the years, the ecosystem we have created has become much bigger than Salesforce itself. We estimate that Salesforce and its ecosystem of customers and partners will create 1 million jobs and generate $272 billion in GDP impact globally by 2018.
Through this growth within the ecosystem new careers have become possible. There are now business analysts, implementation consultants, developers and admins that have built their career on the Salesforce platform — and have been amazingly successful in the process.
While these positions have made lots of people from all walks of life successful, the positions are still relatively new within the traditional job market. And sometimes hard to explain to people outside of the space!
Looking at the Salesforce Admin role specifically, professionals are not only pioneering successful careers as Admins, they are redefining what it means to be an admin! A Salesforce Administrator is a business leader, deeply knowledgeable about how their company operates, intertwined in making all departments successful through process automations, and thus, integral to running a smooth & lean business.
Salesforce Admins work hard to fight inefficiency and champion productivity. They create awesome tools on any device – like easy to use dashboards, intelligent workflows and apps for any project.
Admins keep Salesforce users trained and educated, solve complicated business problems and keep projects moving forward. A Salesforce Admin delivers creative solutions – making Salesforce users happier and the business smarter!
