How a beginner should start with Sales-force Learning?

I have started using Salesforce in my new company but for now the use is very basic- feeding/pulling out customer database. I want to learn full-fledged Saelsfroce and excel in it, I am from non-developer/non-coding background. I have started learning the Salesforce Admin modules viaTrail Head.
It will be great if somebody can guide me since Salesforce is huge and I want to go step-by-step and learn each and every component of Salesforce applications. What could be the best way? What should I follow excatly?
Thank you

Salesforce is a top-class software company who provide software solutions on the cloud that has completely changed the delivery and using the process of business software. It has an excellent and simpler interface to use and the great thing about it is it doesn’t require installation anything like a database server or application server.

There are various ways available to learn Salesforce no matter if you want to learn development or administrator concepts. Below are the exact processes you should follow to learn Salesforce ineffective manner:
  • First, start focusing on learning the basics; we can say an overview of Salesforce. You cannot be a good apex programmer until or unless you do not know the concepts apart from code clearly. There are free resources available there for the same.
  • Secondly, start learning and practicing java. There are tons of good books available to learn both cores as well as advance java.
  • After you are clear with both the above-mentioned concepts, then it’s time to move ahead. It’s time to learn Apex. Start off with a simple Hello World Trigger. Then move on to SOQL. After learning it, combine apex and SOQL. After learning these both as a whole, it’s time to move to Governor Limits, batch Apex, Visualforce, etc.
Well, there are various effective ways to learn Salesforce without even breaking your bank. Some of them are listed below: Both online, as well as classroom course candidates, are treated equally. Above all, practice is the key. Keep learning!

Salesforce can be easily learned with the help of Trailhead as there is full explanation of each module also once you are familiar with modules search for case studies and try implementing them.

I would say one of the best things to start learning salesforce is to first know about salesforce completely, What is Salesforce, why do we use CRM and what are the features of Salesforce which makes it number #1 CRM solution.

Learning from simple topics  to complex topics is the best way for the beginners But they don't know which is simple and which is complex topic. So the trainer way of teaching will affect beginners a lot. I personally suggest crs info solutions where trainer has more than 12 years experience giving a lot of real-time examples.They supply daily assignments and useful video recording along with live salesforce training (https://www.crsinfosolutions.com/what-is-the-salesforce-course-fee-in-hyderabad/)which help the beginners to revise those topics.

I have joined in CRS info solutions for salesforce admin+ developer course, it is online course, not a classroom course. I have 2 years gap due to personal issues, so I thought to start my career with salesforce. I will have more time so I thought to learn from home, so I have chosen online course. I have attended to CRS demo class and then they invited to free classes also which are really helpful for me. In the beginning I don't know anything about salesforce but after attending few sample classes all my doubts are cleared. So it's better to attend their free sessions to understand the course very well. Then everything will be practical and they provide assignments daily, which are very good. I preferred morning batch which was so fresh to start every day and support is very good from the trainer and team Praneeth and priya. I would say CRS is the best institute for salesforce online course. Salesforce Training Australia (https://www.crsinfosolutions.com/salesforce-training-australia)

My take on this is just starting your journey with a trailhead first.
First, complete the admin trail mix module and then go for the developer trail mix.
Invest time and money on at least 2 certifications.
Trailhead is the best and easy way to learn if you believe in the self-learning process and is free of cost and you can explore more by reading blogs on the internet.
But You are the one who can invest money and need the trainer to help you with the journey then I will suggest you contact Sudhanshu Jain sir on LinkedIn. He is the great trainer for salesforce.

It totally depends on you, but most important is start taking action .Don't wait for a long time to analyze things.

Trailhead is the best platform to start your Salesforce journey. And it is also helpful for professionals who want to advance their careers in Salesforce. Once you complete the Trailhead modules, join an online course and give practice exams. Apart from this if you want to learn something new then the power bi training (https://www.igmguru.com/data-science-bi/power-bi-certification-training/) has been prepared for beginners to help them understand the basic concepts of Power BI.

Congratulations on starting your Salesforce learning journey! As a beginner, Trailhead is a great place to start as it provides a structured learning path. Here are some steps you can follow to learn Salesforce:
  1. Start with the Salesforce Admin Beginner trail on Trailhead - This trail covers the basics of Salesforce, including navigating the platform, managing users and data, and customizing the interface.
  2. Practice what you learn by creating a free Salesforce Developer account - This will give you a sandbox environment to experiment with the platform and try out different features.
  3. Focus on one area of Salesforce at a time - Salesforce has many products, so it's important to focus on a specific area, such as Sales Cloud or Service Cloud. This will allow you to go deeper into that area and gain expertise.
  4. Join the Salesforce Trailblazer community - This is a great way to connect with other Salesforce users and experts, learn from their experiences, and ask questions.
  5. Consider getting certified - Salesforce offers a range of certifications for different roles and products. Getting certified can help you demonstrate your skills and knowledge to potential employers.
Remember, learning Salesforce is a continuous process, and it takes time and effort. Don't be afraid to ask questions, practice what you learn, and keep going. Good luck on your Salesforce learning journey!
