Who are the CRM Analytics Ambassadors?

Tableau Ambassadors teach and share while fostering a positive and supportive space within the community. They give credit where credit is due, and prioritize inclusivity in everything they do. They shine the spotlight on new voices, innovative ideas, and make the communities around them better. Tableau Ambassadors serve in one of seven branches: Forums, User Groups, Academic, DataDev, Public, Social, and CRM Analytics.

Let’s dive into the CRM Analytics Ambassador branch

CRM Analytics Ambassadors are power users of the native analytics and AI solution for Salesforce. Most CRM Analytics Ambassadors have extensive backgrounds in administering and developing analytics products in the Salesforce 360 ecosystem. They love to share their expertise in this specialized platform by publishing blogs, hosting meetups, and participating in community projects. They also provide a bridge between the Salesforce Trailblazer Community and the Tableau Community.

The CRM Analytics Ambassador branch meets quarterly with product managers and community managers about the product’s latest release and roadmap. Together, they share how they’re using the product and identify areas of opportunity for the product. They also discuss opportunities to grow the CRM Analytics community and collaborate on meetups and the community’s Slack workspace.
