EAM DELTA - 2 Meeting Summary
Meeting Date: January 17, 2026Duration: 160 minutesInstructor: Opeyemi (Godwin Mbah)
🎯 Key Takeaways
1. Communication & Confidence Are Critical
To succeed in hiring and Salesforce administration, you must develop strong communication skills. You'll need to explain technical concepts in simple language before showcasing what you can do. Start building these habits now through active participation in class.
2. What is Salesforce?
Salesforce is the world's #1 cloud-based CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform. It helps companies manage:
- Sales, marketing, and customer support in one place
- Customer relationships and data across all departments
- Business processes through customization
Think of it as a digital twin of your company—a virtual reflection of all departments working together.
3. Role of a Salesforce Administrator
As an admin, you are the facilitator and maintainer of the Salesforce platform. Your responsibilities include:
- Managing users and permissions
- Customizing and configuring the system
- Creating reports and dashboards
- Training users on new features
- Troubleshooting issues
- Ensuring data security and platform maintenance
Important: Admins work in the backend and only interact with customers indirectly through supporting sales reps and other users.
4. Support Center is Your Resource
- Use the Support Center (not private messages) for all issues
- Always attach screenshots and detailed descriptions
- Issues are monitored 24/7 by instructors
- This creates a shared knowledge base that helps everyone
5. Trailhead vs. Developer Org
- Trailhead: Salesforce's official free learning platform (text-based modules)
- Developer Org (Dev Org): Your free practical environment where you build, test, and practice
- Trailhead Playground: Same as Dev Org, used for completing Salesforce challenges
All are completely FREE—no payment required.
6. Learning Approach: Be Proactive
- Complete classroom lessons before attending class
- Study the relevant Trailhead modules after each classroom topic
- Share your progress in the community (helps instructors track your growth)
- Repetition = Mastery
7. Platform Progression Roadmap
- Team Delta (Beginners): Fundamentals, User Management, Data Security
- Team Gamma (Intermediate): Data Model, Advanced Security
- Team Alpha (Advanced): Senior-level topics
- Move at your own pace—faster learners can progress to higher teams immediately
