Microsoft Dynamics is not really a single solution. I guess you're referring to Microsoft Dynamics CE formerly known as Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Otherwise, I'd say the Dynamics suite is only second to SAP in terms popularity amongst business solutions.

So I've been reading about Salesforce and many nairalanders are recommending getting a skill there. Well, I went to their trailhead and decided to learn about Salesforce admin. The course was not quite complicated as I understood the few contents I read.
My problem now is, what exactly is Salesforce as a company? After acquiring a certificate, will it only be eligible for me to work on Salesforce? Is it like a platform? Like can a company not registered with Salesforce employ me? I'm confused please help.

E dey clearly stated there say na CRM i dey talk but you sha like plenty talk

WoundedLamb:


You said it's more popular than Dynamics. You may have an idea of what you're saying, no doubt. But to an uninformed, it's a misleading statement.

No offense intended. I only wanted to clarify it for the readers' benefit that Salesforce can't be more popular than Dynamics.

Sorry.

Of course, you can. Did you work with an instructor? I am asking cause if you're asking questions like what is Salesforce as a company, where is it used, etc. after acquiring an admin certificate in one of the most widely used CRM in the world, then I'm afraid even your certificate might not take you very far. Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to undermine your efforts. But the Tech industry is skill oriented and from all indications, you need more skills/knowledge than you've gotten.

Nevertheless, you're on the right path. It's a business solution. As an admin, you can work in any organization that uses the CRM to manage thier customers or as a consultant in a Salesforce partner organization that deploys the system for other client organizations.

penzino:
with sales force certification, u can work anywhere in the world. Just do more research. U go smile. I am trying as much as possible to earn even one certification from sales force, but the thing no be here o

tensazangetsu20:

Baabu320:
My brother let me give you this straight advice. Gather money and go and learn that shit. If you no learn sales force kindly learn SAP.

I live in abroad and I must tell you they are hot cakes here. Last year I got an offer as SAP S/4 HANA Admin but na language disqualified me cuz I will be dealing with SAP customers and my Deutsch is not perfect.

Are you still reading my story abi you don Dey learn am?
No Dull am bro.

WizkidNews:

I haven't acquired it yet sir, just a few glances

WizkidNews:

Which one is technically possible here in Nigeria?

hustla:



What do you mean by elsewhere? Different companies use it and its more popular than Microsoft's Dyanamics sef


Salesforce is like Microsoft dynamics, a CRM solution

It can be used as a platform where ticketing platforms reside, customer tracking, support etc

Check LinkedIn and watch YouTube, you'll understand it better

Developer jobs for salesforce pays more though

bet9ja:


The answer is YES and NO.

Salesforce is a cloud-based customer relationship management software and also provides a complementary suite of enterprise applications focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application. To simplify this grammar, Salesforce is a software that allows company to manage their business flows in one place. Salesforce makes it easier to generate leads, manage, and route them to sales teams, payment, customer retention, etc. Meaning, you can model all your company business flows on Salesforce.

After acquiring a certificate, will it only be eligible for me to work on Salesforce?:

Salesforce has a career pathway which is clearly defined on their website -

Administrator certification (administrator, advanced administrator)
Developer certification (platform developer I, platform developer II, commerce cloud)
Technical architect
Consultant certifications
Pardot expert (consultant, specialist)
App builder
Marketer certifications
Implementation experts/consultants certifications -.

However, your employability depends on the hiring company, they may signify that an experience in salesforce is a plus, and having a certificate will put you ahead of your competitors.

Like can a company not registered with Salesforce employ me?

Salesforce brand is very strong. It is known to be a market leader in various CRM and platform categories, Looking at the way the salesforce is broadening its offerings ranging from marketing, sales, services & community under one roof. Bringing together various other platforms through integration using custom built APIS or connecting using a middleware like MuleSoft (recently acquired company), Artificial intelligence & ML - Einstein bots/predictive scoring, Reporting in wave analytics, IOT cloud, Health cloud, financial services cloud etc, Lightning field services (for reps out on the client site) are just a few to name.

Please check this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2021/04/01/why-its-important-to-learn-salesforce-in-2021/?sh=33fd3e3415b6

Some organisation may reject you if you are over-skilled, while others will definitely go for you if you are the only one with an advance certificate among the candidates.
