Salesforce is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that allows businesses and non-profits to manage virtually anything about their customers and donors, respectively.

I am a certified administrator which means I can automate complex business processes, create reports, dashboards, fields and objects, and train users to be successful inputting data into and gathering data from Salesforce.

Not only have I worked as a Salesforce Administrator for over 9 years, I completed the training modules and passed the certification test. To maintain the certification, every administrator needs to pass tests on new features three times a year.

The training modules are very thorough and are conducted in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning covering topics like organization and users settings, data security and back-up, workflow/process building, data modeling, management and analytics, layouts and records types, import/export tools, and the App Exchange where applications created by developers are offered and can be installed in the CRM.

While Salesforce comes with standard objects/tabs like contacts and accounts and standard fields in those objects like name and address, often companies need to customize their instance to make it unique to them. That’s where a Salesforce Administrator is very useful. Imagine if a company wants to track events it holds and the attendees. A Salesforce Administrator can create those custom objects and fields and the reports and dashboards to measure the results.

Non-profits can use Salesforce to track donations and donors. But what if a donor wants to split his donation among various offerings? A Salesforce Administrator can access the App Exchange to look for an application that does what isn’t built into Salesforce natively. I have installed the Cloud for Good Donation Split App in a client’s Salesforce instance to split a single donation into various offerings so they don’t have to enter separate donations.

In a nutshell, you can rely on someone who is Salesforce certified to listen to your needs and understand how to build your Salesforce instance to meet those needs.
