[Ep 066] From the Assembly Line to Salesforce Solution Engineer

Most Salesforce implementations are scoped for the users a company has today - then the business grows, and the platform becomes the constraint. 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗻, a Solution Engineer at Salesforce, joins 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸: 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 with a better blueprint: build to grow, earn trust at every level of the business, and treat go-live as the starting line.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

• Why “build to grow, not for the now” is the heart of scalable architecture - designing for the service and marketing teams you haven’t onboarded yet
• How a Solution Engineer actually works a deal: discovery, reverse demos, and why looping in the implementation partner early makes the handoff clean
• Why people buy into people, not just great software - and how trust at the business-unit level, not only the C-suite, decides whether users adopt the system
  
  
  

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

Salesforce admins, architects, consultants, and delivery leads who own a platform beyond go-live - and veterans or career-changers looking for proof the ecosystem has room for their story.
