Presented in the comedic style of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You Might Be a Redneck”, this session explores the daily life of a Salesforce Administrator, with the challenges of having to deal with users, managers and family members who don’t understand your job, and so much more. It’s 75% comedy and 100% educational.

solved

Trailhead, Twitter & the Trailblazer Community
