We All Queued Up

Even if a person today wanted to start a revolution, the only way to organize is through social media, which the people in control control.

And we all queued up to accept the terms and conditions. Blindly.

Salesforce Is Running An Agentforce Use Case Competition - My Entry &amp; Encouraging You To Build (Best Way To Actually Try AF)

Hey!

There is a contest being run by Salesforce that you can read more about here - named #AgentforceInAction

They want videos of under 5 minutes showing real use cases of Agentforce.

You can watch my video to see what I came up with.

I liked the fact that they gave access to a Agentforce demo org that is actually pretty powerful once you enable all the Einstein/Data Cloud stuff.

There is so much that can be improved and simplified about AF in my opinion, but if it is here to stay we may as well learn to use it.

Happy to hear feedback on my video as well :)

Have a nice weekend all!

If You Have 5 Minutes Take The Salesforce Community Survey - They Are Asking The Right Questions

I am happy with the focus of the questions asked in the Trailblazer Community Survey, found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TZ3ZCD9

The more of us that provide our thoughts, the better (hopefully) Salesforce can steer their activity.

They are asking the right questions in my opinion - and showing that they are at least in tune with our reality and feelings.

There are enough of us here on Reddit daily that share our opinions, now we can actually make them heard where they need to be heard.

Let's not let the opportunity slip :)

New Security Requirements - Sharing Our Guidance To Clients &amp; Welcoming Your Feedback!

Hey everyone!

With the new security issue, our team has put together a short slideshow we are starting to share with our clients.

I am making it available for everyone here to refer to for themselves and we are also happy to have feedback if anything we prepared is not 100% accurate.

This is a change we can all help each other navigate!

Another thing we have been doing is submitting support tickets for every client asking for a 90 day extension for enforcement.

I encourage you to do the same!

Aggressive Thugs Active At Intersection

Near the Castelo there is an aggressive guy blocking passage at threat of violence, sitting in a chair backwards. Unrolled cigarette in his ear.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Uc6Lzbhbh42wvoe18?g_st=ac

Complete tool that accosted me while I was vibing a few minutes ago.

Then his much heftier friend came along and also physically prevented me from going down the street.

I left the confrontation quickly, but it's a real problem.

No law enforcement in sight.

12 years of experience and this still is a frequent challenge!

Anyone else?

One of my devs just had to fix a similar issue and it inspired this meme.

I can't count how often in the last 12 years I have made the wrong choice on what feels like it should be pretty dang easy hahahah

It's like a syntax brain teaser sometimes!

What do you to when your pet interrupts you?

As I'm starting to use the app upon waking up, my dog is interpreting the signs of me getting up to make the bed and sitting as the start of the day.

So in the first minutes she puts her head in my hands, paws at me.

I'm treating it as just another sensation to feel, not giving her active attention, and moving on.

She seems to clue in after about a minute, and at the end I find her laying down almost relaxed because of my peacefulness. I then give her lots of love.

What do you do?

Do you isolate (if I did she might make more house longer)?

Do you restart after they leave you alone?

Thanks for the advice!

My Latest Entrepreneur Article Is Live! How I Built a 6-Figure Solo Agency For Free

This article talks about my suggested method for building your Agency Sales Flywheel.

The steps, in brief, are:

  1. Define a clear ideal client and design a transformative client journey (your niche)
  2. Validate your niche with past clients by seeking advice, not pitching (this will lead to your first clients)
  3. Deliver oversized value to your initial clients and share their success with the world
  4. Use that success to build more momentum and find new clients
  5. Refine your transformative journey and bring more success to every client

Would love to hear your thoughts on this process!

I tried Setup with Agentforce and it did ok.

I just tried Setup with Agentforce, and am pleasantly surprised despite facing a few hiccups.

The setup process is self-guiding, and the documentation found on Salesforce Help is pretty clear.

Building metadata (objects and fields) is incredibly smooth, and I love that the agent actually thinks about how it should document the objects and fields with descriptions and help text.

However, I was unable to get it to create a validation rule despite the fact it did a great job of understanding and creating the VR formula.

And, it seems because the org I tested in does not have Data Cloud, I was unable to have it create any flows.

But in both of the issues I faced, it did a good job of trying to give manual instructions to get the task finished.

Overall, for the first days of it existing, I am pretty pleased with the tool.

Have any of you tried it yet?

It says it is free but that it also consumes Data Cloud credits, so mixed message there. Anyone have a clear answer on the actual parts that ARE free?
