Salesforce salaries are a hot topic. Salesforce professionals are in high demand in a variety of fields thanks to the growing Salesforce eco-system. 



How much does a Salesforce professional make? Find out how to improve your salary, how to increase your earning potential, and what factors will affect it.  Salary differences between professionals can be attributed to a variety of factors.

• Experience
• Certifications
• Generalists vs. Specialists
• Location

The following factors will be discussed in this guide:

1. Experience. You should expect a higher salary as your experience and responsibilities increase. It is your experience with projects that will take precedence over any other factor, particularly if your experience extends across multiple Salesforce products.
2. Certifications. Certifications prove to your employers that you know what you are talking about – they are a milestone in your career. It is possible to use certifications as leverage if you desire a senior role within your company, or if you are seeking employment elsewhere.
3. Generalists vs. Specialists. Make sure you choose the right specialization, and you could find yourself in high demand.  
4. Location. As a result of the differences in living costs between countries and within countries, salaries are affected by location. 
5.  

What is the average role specific salary in my area?
Want to know the average salary range for a specific Salesforce role. Contact us today and speak to one of our Steadman brown consultants. We are happy to guide you on potential salaries and key variables impacting how much money you could earn!

 
Asking for a raise?
The company needs to understand the value you bring to the organization when you're asking for a higher salary. Speaking about your accomplishments can be difficult, especially if you're not used to doing so. 

Preparing an elevator pitch is a great way to practice. To persuade your boss to raise your pay, you can use this short, concise summary of your skills and experience.

In preparing your elevator pitch, remember to provide examples of how your contribution has benefited the company. You will be able to demonstrate to your boss how valuable you are to the company.
It is important to know how much you make now and what other people in your position make. You will be able to get a better idea of how much you should ask for.

You may need to negotiate with your boss if he or she is not immediately receptive to the idea of a raise. You should discuss how much you would like to receive and be willing to compromise.

Another day, and yet another Salesforce product is released. Introducing Salesforce Easy.

Salesforce Easy is a new product designed to target new companies, who are yet to experience the power of the Salesforce platform.

Everyone knows that implementing a brand-new CRM tool is an expensive venture. Implementing Salesforce is certainly no exception to that. Now if you’re a small business the cost of implementing Salesforce and hiring a Salesforce professional to configure and develop the platform can spiral very quickly. It's also challenging to measure ROI quickly too. As a small business, this is a dangerous predicament to find yourself in, and pushes customers towards alternative CRM platforms. 

Fortunately, Salesforce Easy bridges that gap. For the first time ever, Salesforce are promoting a self-implemented product, rather than recommending hiring a Salesforce Professional, or working with a Registered Salesforce Partner.
Salesforce Easy allows companies to quickly implement Salesforce, hook it up to existing tools, and start to leverage the power of the Global Leader in CRM. 
Salesforce Easy is a simplified experience for companies, focusing on 3 key areas.

• Easy to increase productivity, allowing simple integrations with major tools such as Slack, Google and Office 365. 
• Easy to Save Time, by harnessing the power of Salesforce to follow up and automate core sales functions and processes. This will enable your team to spend more time, serving your customers.
• Easy to Cut Costs, by allowing your business to run on one single platform, removing the need for multiple systems across business functions.

This is a clever move from Salesforce. For so long they've been seen as the Enterprise leader in CRM, they’ve always been overlooked by smaller customers, who favour the cheaper, simple set-up and agility that other CRM’s like MailChimp, ZenDesk, Zoho and HubSpot offer.

Now Salesforce are cashing in on this huge market, with a product that covers the major areas of sales, marketing, and service, but targeting a previously unreachable market audience.Salesforce are well aware that these customers will reach two stages quickly.

1. Salesforce's efficiency and intuitiveness will have them looking to purchase additional products and licenses. 
2. Salesforce licensees will eventually reach platform limitations and need to upgrade to higher editions in order to satisfy business demands.

Both hurdles will create long-term Salesforce customers, who prior to Salesforce Easy, may have been lost to other CRM providers. An exciting time for everyone, except Salesforce's competitors!
