Hey David,

I know this question is slightly off topic, but I have a strong sales management and CRM (non-SF) background. I am trying to make myself as marketable as possible and think learning CPQ is a good route.

What is the outlook for CPQ Specialists? I’ve also heard this is a TOUGH exam for those that don’t have CPQ experience.

    Not too familiar with that area sorry! I know it’s not that popular of a module right now, but could be a good growth bet.
