The problem with Trailhead

September 17, 2020

Trailhead has made it so easy for anyone to learn Salesforce.

People all over the world are flocking to the Salesforce industry in hopes of earning a piece of the $150,000 average Salesforce salary.

But despite an unprecedented amount of learning that has taken the industry by storm through Trailhead, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among Salesforce students. Check out this video to learn the unintended consequences of Trailhead and what I recommend doing instead!

Thank you for the fresh content!

As of yesterday, I have 1 down and 5 to go on my 6 cert goal!

Is there a better way to practice configuring features from the exam guide than working through the Trailhead Trailmix that correlates to the cert exam I am pursuing?

I’m following your Ultimate Salesforce Certifications Guide, and the Trailmixes to me seem to be the best way to check off your first bullet point regarding practice configuring features under “Study for Understanding”. Would so appreciate your perspective as I work to allocate my time on education most efficiently and effectively. Thank you!
