It’s funny (or maybe sad) to think about, but after 13 years of school and another 4 years of college, I had no blueprint for how to build a successful career as I started out in the real world. Sure, I could rattle off extravagant mathematical equations or maybe entertain […]
0011500001cnVrp Look familiar? www.na7.salesforce.com/0011500001cnVrp How about now? The beloved 15-character ID. It’s easy to copy and paste, takes you straight to the record you’re looking for, can be pulled into reports, and is used in a myriad of other ways.

Imagine you’ve built a product. People ooh and ahh over how beautiful it is. And not only that, but then there’s a product launch. The whole company is aware and ready for it. Marketing is steadily cranking out pieces to introduce this new beauty to the world. The sales team is […]
