In today's episode, we’re joined by Martin Vyskocil, a Salesforce CTA and Associate Partner at IBM in the UK. Martin talks us through his early career, how he came from a non-I.T. background initially and explains how working in different sales support manager roles has actually benefited him in his Salesforce career.

Martin explains how he first came to work in I.T., why he felt the company gave him the opportunity to take on a leadership role at the time, and what he first made of Salesforce when his company moved to the platform from Oracle.

Having spent a number of years with one company, Martin shares what attracted him to the consulting space and how working for Salesforce compared to working with more recent Salesforce partners.

Finally, Martin opens up on his CTA journey, how it played out, and how he tackled health and scheduling challenges along the way, leading him to be in Review Board preparation mode for a considerable period of time. He reflects on what this meant for his mental health, what it felt like to finally pass, and goals that are important to him now.

We hope you enjoy the episode and you can connect with Martin on his LinkedIn page.
