Salesperson to Citizen Developer in 3 (or more) Easy Steps

It has been said that “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.”

In the world of Sales, one of the biggest pain points is manual processes.....but most people in Sales roles don't believe they have the technical skillset or tools to be able to do anything about it.

With Power Platform, the ability for business users to take productivity into their own hands is now available. In order to gain adoption, there are 3 key elements required: excitement, enablement, and evangelization. Things that don't typically come to mind when you think of traditional IT departments.

During this discussion, we will touch base on some simple Power Automate flow examples, which can easily feed into your CRM deployment, such as Dynamics or Salesforce, and can make an extremely positive impact to your Sales organizations. These flows have the ability to trigger both an extremely valuable partnership and gain significant momentum with your organizations Citizen Development initiatives.

Target Audience: Sales Professionals/Citizen Developers and Technical Teams looking to support Sales Organizations.

My First Power App (aka: The Power of Community)

Power Apps can be intimidating for a lot of Business Users since it has more of a "coding" look and feel than the other Power Platform Products....that was the case for me.

But sometimes a scenario presents itself that requires you to finally try that thing you've been avoiding. When that does happen, where do you even start?

Through the story of My First Power App, learn how you can overcome your own learning hurdle and bring an amazing product to life through the Power of Community!

Bringing your Automation Dreams to Life

As an organization builds enthusiasm around what Power Automate can do for them, business users will begin to identify processes they know can be more efficient....and many times they will come to YOU to have them build it.

What if instead, we used their outreach to provide them a roadmap to their idea and gave them the tools and confidence to try building it out themselves?

All of this is possible if you ask the right questions.

In this presentation we will review a framework that will allow you to guide business users from vague idea inception to being an active build partner in Workflow Automation.
