Description
Have you heard of Salesforce, but are unclear what it is, how it works, or what it can do for your career?This course is for you! IDC reports that the Salesforce Economy, powered by AI, will create a net gain of 11.6 million jobs and $2.02 TRILLION in Business Revenues between 2022 and 2028.In this course, I walk you through what Salesforce is, their various cloud offerings and career options.You'll learn how to get started learning Salesforce, as well as sharing a myriad of free Salesforce account versions you can sign up for and keep.With the advances of AI and Salesforce's recently released Agentforce, now is the time to learn Salesforce and start a Salesforce career. Get your journey started today.There's a pronounced skills gap in the marketplace. Employers struggle to find the right skills and potential employees don't have the right skills sets that are in demand. Salesforce and AI skills combined make for a perfect combination to help you fill the skills gap and increase your relevance in the marketplace.The power of the Salesforce platform is in giving you the ability to not only create enterprise level applications with clicks instead of code, but to also now leverage the power of Generative AI. This AI power can transform organizations and is causing us to collectively rethink how work is done, and by whom. There's a rise in agentic AI, namely agents which take action on our behalf.Understanding the fundamentals of the Salesforce platform and how work is done is key in order to then automate and delegate that work to AI. And with Marc Benioff's stated goal of having a billion Agentforce agents deployed on the Salesforce platform by the end of 2025, that means that someone will need to configure those billion agents! Why not you? Why not now?
