From Journalist to Salesforce Expert: A 90-Day Roadmap for Career Changers

Introduction

When I graduated with a degree in journalism, I never imagined I'd end up as a Salesforce consultant. But here I am, years later, running Clear Concise Consulting and helping businesses transform their operations with Salesforce. My journey from writing headlines to configuring Salesforce wasn't straightforward, but it taught me valuable lessons about career pivots and the power of perseverance.

If you're considering a career change into the Salesforce ecosystem, you're in the right place. The demand for Salesforce professionals is booming, and the skills you've developed in your current career – whether it's attention to detail, problem-solving, or communication – are more valuable than you might think.

This guide will walk you through a 90-day roadmap to transition into a Salesforce career. It's based on my own experience and the strategies I've seen work for countless others. Remember, everyone's journey is unique, but this roadmap will give you a solid foundation to build upon.
