Editor's Notes
Gratitude runs deep in this community because it’s all about helping each other succeed
And so many amazing successes have started in settings like this
So thanks for taking the time to join us today!
We’re lucky that Salesforce puts customers (which they call Trailblazers) at the center of everything
And even their top executives recognize the Trailblazer Community as the driving force
That’s why they’re so invested in our success and have fostered this thriving global community
A community that is grounded in Salesforce’s values
Where we can communicate openly, help each other be better at work and in life
Influence how Salesforce innovates
And build incredible relationships within a beautifully diverse global community where everyone is welcome
You’ll often hear people say they doubted the magic of this community could be true when they first started
But as they get more engaged it becomes a lifestyle
Because of this amazing combination of learning, connecting, having tons of fun and giving back together
Everyone is welcome and there’s a community adventure for every type
From 24X7 answers and chatter group collaboration to an amazing bunch of Ohana fun on Twitter
And of course giving back
Many community members get started by simply finding help in the Answers forum
When you get stuck, search the forum to see if your question has already been answered
If not, ask and you’ll get a super quick response, likely from community leaders like the ones you see here on this leaderboard
There are also 1000s of Chatter groups about a ton of topics
Anybody can start a group and make it public or private; and the collaboration is amazing
This is Gemma Emmett - she’s passionate about building confidence for all aspiring Salesforce architects through Ladies Be Architects, the movement she founded whilst on her own Journey to Certified Technical Architect.
And Salesforce runs 20+ Customer Success Chatter Groups too
These are awesome resources for getting started, release readiness, and core products, and a great place to engage directly with the Customer Success team, product managers and of course peers
Salesforce MVPs are nominated by the community for their incredible above-and-beyond contributions
Everyone should follow and connect with these awesome people -- they’ll help you learn so much and make amazing connections
Salesforce really invests in helping them be great for our sake, and they’re
also the voice of the community to executives and product leaders
We’re lucky to have X Community Groups here in <City/Area>
We have 900+ Community Groups around the world
To help Trailblazers meet peers, learn together and build amazing networks
They’re led by people like ME
We volunteer our time to organize these groups because we love to see people succeed ←-THIS should be authentically YOU - think about it and make it yours :)
And the amazing stories of people’s lives changing abound...one great one is Zac Otero - he was working in a rapidly declining manufacturing role, googled tech jobs and decided to learn Salesforce...he spent months learning on his own, but it was when he walked into his first Community Group Meeting that everything started to change. He’s the first to say hearing other people’s best practices and ideas is what made everything start to click. And he met his mentor there too...she then became his boss in his first admin role a few months later.
We’re lucky to have X Community Groups here in <City/Area>
Make the WHY and WIIFM (what’s in it for me) super clear here :)
This is a great place to tell your own local Zac Otero story!!! You can even have someone join you for a couple minutes.
And because we just can’t get enough of the community group goodness, we have Community Conferences too!
These are 1-2 day events planned and hosted with lots of love by Community Group Leaders
It all started years ago when Eric Dreshfield was frustrated he couldn’t go to Dreamforce, so he decided to create his own - now known as MidWest Dreamin’
They’re such awesome learning and networking experiences, lots of community members have even started to plan vacations around them
You don’t have to wait long or go too far to see this for yourself…
