Salesforce Basics for Marketers Bootcamp

Learn the Salesforce features and functions that empower better collaboration between sales and marketing.

The days of admins working exclusively in their marketing automation platform like Account Engagement are quickly coming to an end. As Salesforce continues to grow and provide more features to connect your martech, Salesforce skills are becoming essential for all digital marketers.

This course will explore key areas of Salesforce including data architecture, security, sales processes, reports, dashboards, and the main features you need to master to be successful. You’ll build your skills through live instruction and hands-on exercises and come away with a solid understanding of capabilities and how they can be leveraged to improve your digital marketing efforts.
