Today, we will help you discover what it\u2019s like being a Salesforce apprentice and what a standard week looks like in the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Meetings, meetings and more meetings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A daily part of business is attending meetings, whether they are for internal purposes or for customers, I\u2019ve experienced a few over the past week. An important part of every morning is the team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.productplan.com\/glossary\/scrum-meeting\/\">SCRUM<\/a> meeting. This is where we explain what we achieved the day prior and what goals are for the day ahead. I find this important because it helps to keep the team in sync and provides a motivational factor when you\u2019ve had a particularly productive day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past month I have had the opportunity to shadow customer calls, which has been a great experience, allowing me to gain more insight and navigate customer expectations. Fast forward to this week, I have attended a variety of customer meetings that have required my input. For example, I needed to determine how a potential customer would like to see their meta-data within a demo and this required a conversation which I felt confident enough to manage on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Planning and Projects<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favourite advice that I have received during my apprenticeship so far is <em>\u201cto treat yourself like a project\u201d. <\/em>Every week my colleagues Paul, Jessica and I have weekly reflection meetings to discuss my progress and set goals for the week ahead. As part of this, I was tasked with creating a GANNT chart of an 18-month plan detailing the deliverables against my apprenticeship. This has helped me to develop my planning skills which I have now used against a live customer project this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main projects I have been working on this week is a new system for a serviced office provider. Referencing back to planning, I have used my developed skills to plan a demo. From taking the time to plan effectively, I now know exactly what is required within each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Managing Month One<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of my apprenticeship, I am required to complete a certain number of e-learning modules and Trailhead trails. Trailhead is an online learning platform for Salesforce users that explains how you can use everything across the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the knowledge that I have acquired as part of my first month of e-learning includes, business &amp; strategy analysis as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/home\">Trailhead <\/a>Trailmixes on <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/content\/learn\/modules\/lex_implementation_user_setup_mgmt\">User Setup<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/content\/learn\/trails\/identity\">Security and Access<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A month into the Salesforce Apprentice role, I can recognise that no two weeks are the same as the role is so varied which keeps every new piece of knowledge and learning exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Owl see you later&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charlotte<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from our first introduction with Charlotte, we\u2019re back with another Apprentice Hoot blog.
