In our final episode of this season, we continue to focus on how to successfully implement Salesforce, and discuss the role of consulting partners in your implementation.

In episode 5, we continue with the second part of our series. This block of episodes is going to focus on businesses that have implemented Salesforce and are at varying stages of their Salesforce journey – we’ll discuss how they’ve gone about their implementation, challenges they’ve faced and recommendations for other businesses implementing Salesforce/going through digital transformation. In this specific episode, we’ll find out more about CALM and their experience with Salesforce.

We're back with episode 4 of the Blazing a Trail podcast.

A series of conversations with Salesforce professionals who have inspirational stories on their journey’s within the Salesforce ecosystem; brought to you by Lawrence Harvey – Technology Recruitment Specialists, and hosted by our dedicated Salesforce recruitment expert, Zak Harvey.

On this episode of the ‘Blazing A Trail’ podcast, I speak with Magdalena Borek – Sales Operations Analyst at GoCardless and a recent joiner to the Salesforce ecosystem.

I’m often asked by people looking to transition into a Salesforce career, where do I start? What resources can I use to help me? How do I get a Salesforce job with no experience? With Magdalena, I cover all of this and more, as someone who has recently gone through this journey and is 4 months into her first Salesforce role. 

After an extensive career in the healthcare industry (specifically nursing), Magdalena decided she wanted a radical shift in direction and stumbled across Salesforce via her partner. She soon fell in love with Salesforce through Trailhead and became determined to gain badges and certifications, with the intention of then securing a dedicated Salesforce role.

Circa 18 months since first discovering Trailhead, Magdalena has passed her probation period as a Salesforce Administrator at GoCardless and is keen to start designing and building her own Salesforce solutions to support her users.

The second episode of the ‘Blazing A Trail’ podcast, features Guy Farrer Fisher, Director at PwC and member of the esteemed Salesforce Certified Technical Architect group.

Over the last 8+ years, Guy has been delivering a number of complex Salesforce projects, both directly for customers and in a consulting environment, before more recently using his skills across technology more broadly. 

Back in 2020, Guy became one of the youngest (if not the youngest ever), Salesforce CTAs - all without going to university!

In this episode, we discuss the early stages of his career, his end-to-end CTA journey and the impact he’s now having across other technologies post CTA.
