Wave. No, um, Analytics Cloud. Ugh, I mean Einstein Analytics. No, wait, Tableau CRM. ARGH. CRM Analytics. That's it! Sometimes the biggest motivation to get the next cert is to nail that paper on the wall before Salesforce decides to change the product name (again).

I have no stickers on my laptop. Or water bottles. Or anything. It's not that I think they're juvenille for professionals. It's just that I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to peel the sticker off the backing without shredding the dang thing. #stickerChallenged

I went to take my Salesforce CPQ Specialist Cert last week. They turned me away at the door because my "Legal First Name" in Kryterion did not match my government issued IDs. Gimme a break, I've taken 8 prior exams there THIS YEAR! 1/3

We joke during check in, "How many exams do you have to take?" "I don't know, they keep making more!" I wish they could have at least given me a warning, "We'll let you in this time, but get that name fixed before your next exam." People. Policies. Red tape. Meh. 2/3

Salesforce was pretty quick about turning around the name change request in Kryterion (thank you!). I guess I should be happy about getting an extra week to study. Meh. I'll be happy when this cert is in the rear-view mirror! Reschedule is tomorrow. LET's GOOOOOO! 3/3

Thinking Salesforce CPQ "Twin Fields" should have been named "Object Mapping Fields". Don't get cute, name it what it is.

Today I'm reviewing all my notes taken while studying and preparing for tomorrow's CPQ Specialist cert exam. So many notes! And since I use CPQ so seldomly (and not for at least a year), it's the exam I am the least confident for. But I have learned a TON. Silver Lining?
