In the light of diversifying and learning new skills, I went searching for a digital skill to try my hand on. I'm not crazy about coding and design which is the current trend in Nigeria, so I don't know if I would like it or not. I decided to check for other skills that would immediately catch my attention and I found one, Salesforce.
I had stumbled on a tech training website and took the quiz I found on it. It asked questions about my interests and the results showed that I am more CRM inclined, hence, the salesforce course. It's actually right up my alley as I've previously worked in CRM capacities before and I've done a short course on CRM.
What Is Salesforce?
Salesforce is a big American company that has one of the best Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms. Anyone looking to manage an organization's customer and sales data can learn Salesforce. As long as they have an interest, there are many resources available online to learn with.
The site I had taken the quiz on had a charge of $600 for the Salesforce software course and I was thrown off. Although, they did say the course came with added resources and an opportunity to be connected with several employers.
I didn't think it'd be that expensive and it seemed like a rip-off (actually, it isn't). I checked the official Salesforce site and the fee was about $400 but that's sort of a learn on your own approach. There is also a free training option which doesn't offer as much as the real deal but is a good start.
I registered for free training already and if I like it, I might actually consider paying the $600 eventually for the hands-on, practical course. I'm excited about learning how to use this software and make a transition into tech without having to go through the coding route. There are other routes I'm interested in like digital marketing, but this, in particular, is familiar territory for me and I'm ready to get my brain working.
