Salesforce.com Community Groups: An Undersold Gem

For over 15 years we have been collectively working in Information Technology and helping companies and people grow their business and careers by connecting people with their best options in the market. Data Journeys focus in on the area of Salesforce.com and Marketing Automation. The Salesforce Ecosystem is like no other out there. We have…

We have attended many of the main Salesforce events which are extremely informative and help you see the direction Salesforce is going. This includes new improvements and break-out sessions that are on specific areas of interest. Companies know about these events for they are well publicised by Salesforce online and in the news.

Salesforce is a great platform with many a reason to choose it. However, Salesforce also has an undersold gem of a reason to sign up for the platform and also to help move your career in that direction: Salesforce Community Groups.

For 2 years our Director, Tony Kvatch helped organise the Sydney Salesforce User Group and watched it grow from a few people in attendance to well over a 100. It has continued to grow since that time and more recently has had events with over 250 people. In fact, there are now groups in each state in Australia (User Groups, Developer Groups, Pardot Groups, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Groups etc.).

These groups are extremely informative beyond the main events and are held on a more regular basis. User Group events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane that we have attended and are useful not only for Salesforce Administrators and Salesforce Developers, but also people who manage the platform, are users or are stakeholders in decision making positions. The simple message is working together as a community we can create great ideas and solutions on the platform.

The reason for this is the topics and the presenters; some from Salesforce about new features, some from Developers with more technical presentations, some from organisations showing what they have done with the platform to improve their business, some from software vendors with integrated App demos and some left of field future technology general presentations. The organisers love the platform and if this blend of presenters is maintained the user groups will continue to be extremely useful for all to attend. Whilst also being another reason to choose Salesforce for your business and your career.

Data Journeys has sponsored the most recent of these community events in Brisbane and Melbourne (providing the coffee and food). We are 100% focused on finding the Salesforce talent companies need and helping people find the best Salesforce.com or Marketing Automation career option. Whether it be a Salesforce Admin or Developer, Consultant or Project Manager skilled in Sales or Service Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Pardot, we have the direct contact in part through our involvement in these events.
