Salesforce is packed with features, but becoming a great Salesforce Admin isn't about knowing every feature—it's about using the right ones effectively.
Here are five practical tips that can improve your daily workflow.
- Understand the Data Model First
Before creating Flows or Validation Rules, understand how your objects and relationships are structured.
A strong data model makes automation easier to build and maintain.
- Keep Automation Simple
Avoid creating multiple Flows for the same process.
Whenever possible:
Reuse existing automation.
Keep logic easy to understand.
Document complex business rules.
Simple automation is easier to troubleshoot.
- Use Reports Before Exporting Data
Many admins export records to Excel unnecessarily.
Salesforce Reports and Dashboards can answer many business questions without leaving the platform.
- Learn Basic SOQL
Even if you don't write Apex, basic SOQL can help you:
Find records faster
Validate data
Troubleshoot issues
Work better with developers
It's a valuable skill for every Admin.
- Keep Learning
Salesforce releases new features three times each year.
Spend time exploring Release Notes, Trailhead, and trusted learning resources to stay current.
Continuous learning is one of the best investments you can make in your Salesforce career.
