I'd recommend that someone already have their Salesforce Admin certification, and at least a few years of working either in-house somewhere using Salesforce, or as a consultant/analyst on another platform (transferring those consultant skills, now to Salesforce). Other folks that have found success are those who have industry experience (like pharmaceuticals) and are transferring that experience via consulting.

Having a Salesforce Administrator certification is not a prerequisite for the course, but I strongly recommend having it or another specialized certification (like Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist, for example) just to start differentiating yourself as a consultant. You also may want to become an official Salesforce partner at some point, and having a baseline Salesforce Administrator certification is the first step in this. 

I've found the content has been most valuable for the folks already in business - concepts like profitability vs. cash flow are hard to comprehend unless you've been in business a while. You’ll also be able to immediately implement practical strategies that will impact your day to day work, profitability and general joy in running your business. The course typically has a mix of folks with those just starting out and those who have been in business multiple years and want proactive coaching and a community of peers.

Course sections are unlocked weekly to keep things manageable. You’ll receive an email notifying you when your next section is available, including downloads. If you need early access to a specific course section or download you can let me know and I’ll unlock it for you, or if you’re in a hurry you might consider the All Access Pass. You’ll also want to join the twice-monthly coaching calls where I will do a deep-dive and workshop specific questions that come up in the community. Finally, there is a Slack community that is a great place to connect and ask supportive peers questions that come up.

For folks who need quicker access to the course materials, I offer an All Access Pass membership. You’ll get a discount for paying up front, and you’ll still have 4 months of access to the course materials, coaching calls and exclusive community.

Yes. Currently participants can enroll at any time. We may move to enrollment only during certain periods, so if you’re considering timing on this, I suggest enrolling now while I’ve still got an open enrollment.

My intention is to foster the diversity of businesses in the Salesforce economy - particularly women, people of color, veteran and military spouses, LGBTQ+, geographic diversity. The community of course participants and alumni are committed to supporting each other. Some of our course participants don’t qualify in any diversity metric, yet are committed to being an ally to others in this space. If you’re unsure, reach out.

This course is an investment in yourself. It’s not for everyone. But I’ve found that folks who are committed to this work do find that they are able to reap significant value, as one participant said “more than she could ever pay” both in increased rates,  new contracts and renewed focus.

Many consultants start their journey by doing part-time or side projects while continuing to work at their full-time job. It’s a good way to start building momentum before making the leap to working on your own. You’re welcome to join if you’re in the planning phase.
