this also gives you an opportunity for two things one it's really getting the fundamentals of how to use marketing Cloud I've been in the marketing Cloud ecosystem for about 15 years way before it was marketing Cloud it was exact target and I started using it um to you know build my little emails and in a wizzy wig and you know using aim which was automated um interaction management and 15 years ago we didn't have any sort of boot camps or classes where you know that would give us this opportunity to truly get a deep dive and hear from experts on how to use um exact target which is marketing Cloud now so for me having this session and supporting it is extremely extremely important because it's an investment not only in you as an individual marketer but it's also an investment in your

question about the platform or if you have a question about the exam or questions about the session there's 119 people that can help you versus you feeling isolated or alone so that's you know that's

a list of handful helpful resources these are the uh best resources that are available which are provided by the Salesforce and the community and we'll also look at the how to how to log into the web assessor and how to book the ticket book the test so this is helpful for the first first time test takers so if you are taking the test for the first time and you don't know how to create the web assessor or how to log in and then register for an exam or reschedule so we do have we briefly touch up on how to book a test our availability of the practice test as well so you can take a practice test for the email specialist exam so we'll also look at that and very important is the maintenance of the certification once you get certified it's very important to maintain the certificate certification or else it will um it will expire so we'll also cover that and after that we'll look at the bootcamp schedule the speakers and uh the schedule we each day what topic is being covered and also we do have a list of upcoming sessions and the next steps this is like a homework for you you have to go back home and uh or check a few resources and be ready for the next session and who is a marketing Cloud uh email specialist so we do have different career paths in the marketing Cloud as well you can be a developer administrator data analyst architect product manager and so on so email specialist is a person who has experience using marketing Cloud specially with the email Studio like creating effective or emails using the content Builder and able to send the emails automate the process using Journey builders on automation studio and to Target specific audience you should also be able to learn how to segment the data import the data and to learn the effectiveness of each of the email sends or the campaigns one should be able to know how to create the reports and how to customize the report how to schedule or email them automatically and let the team know about how uh the email has been performing and so on they should be able to create solutions that make email marketing goals so for each campaign there may be a specific budget assigned so the um one of the goal of the marketer email marketer is to check the effectiveness of the each of the campaigns and see how the ROI is and how effective the campaigns are how it can be improved and so on and the person should also be familiar with product capabilities related to marketing email marketing report generation and data management and also we should be able to uh one one should be able to upskill um up whenever a new feature is released be ready to learn and then implement it and as per the exam as well or as in when new features are released they will also be covered you will get one or two questions related to the new features as well so you should be able to update yourself with all the new features and any other dates that are happening and here's the layout of the exam so just like any other Salesforce certification this this exam has 60 multiple choice questions and there are chances that five unscored questions will be added randomly so you wouldn't know which question will be unscored but you will have 65 questions sometimes and only 60 of them will be scored and the time allotted for this exam is only 90 minutes so be careful and manage your time well and if you are in doubt when you're doing the exam and if you're in doubt Mark the question you have the option underneath each question to mark it for later reference so mark it and you after you're all done with all the questions you can go back and look at the marked questions and re-analyze and change the answers or answer them at the later point of time so so you you can mark the questions and get back to that later and the passing score for this exam is 67 and upon completion of the exam the result will be displayed um if it is a pass or a fail and then uh the section level feedback so we will also look at the different sections that are covered in this exam so after the exam in the feedback or the sexual level score also will be displayed so let's say the insights and analytics so what is the score and if at all you are not able to clear the exam so where which section are you lacking in and which section you need to more refresh yourself so you can use that feedback and you can use it for the next three days and the registration fee is 200 dollars and if you need to retake it is hundred dollars and if you are in uh in a different country where the tax local tax rules are applicable then the tax is also added to this one and um you can take the exam either online or at on site so if you want to go through the site in person and take the exam in a proctored site then you can choose the on-site and choose the nearest location to you and if you want to take it uh online then uh you can select the time zone and then select the time and schedule the exam we'll also go over the process how you can schedule and the prerequisite for this email special certification is none only that you need to have six months of experience using marketing cloud and you are aware of the uh products and the associated tools that are specifically related to the emails you know email email creation process and the reporting the automation student Journey leaders and I highly recommend taking the course that is marketing 101 course that is available on the trailhead Academy it is a paid one but it has in the coverage of all the features and it can help you get started with the marketing cloud and um be ready for the certification as well and the exam has five sections and each section has a specific weightage and starting with the email marketing best practices it covers 10 of the exam so you can expect to get around like uh eight eight questions in this section and this section will cover about the best practices how to make effective emails how to include the deliverability and so on and the content creation and delivery takes up 24 of the exam and the subscriber and data management so it takes up 26 percent insights and analytics takes up 26 percent and we do have content uh creation and delivery and one more section which which takes up 26 percent of the exams so we have divided this section into two sessions let's say subscriber and data management which takes a huge major it's like one-fourth of the questions are covered on the subscriber on data management so we have two sessions dedicated on this section foreign looking at the topics that will be covered in each section in the email marketing but best practices we do uh we we look at how to create a effective email and how to create effective email programs for campaigns how they are doing um how can we improve the deliverability and how can we improve the subscriber acquisition and retention and the next section which takes 24 percent the content creation and delivery it's all about creating effective emails the deciding the sending process and using effectively using the tools when creating the email send and creating the email design so on and send settings how how uh how do we configure the send the delivery settings and so on just and marketing automation it covers a large part of the exam not only in the exam but in general as a market email Specialist or the administrator on a developer you should know about the automation so marketing cloud is the world's best automation marketing automation tool so it has inbuilt automation studio and journey Builder with all the advanced features so you should be able to create some automation signals to automations and create some activities in the automations and also be able to create Journeys and schedule them and you should also be able to decide which is the best option given in scenario you would go with the automations 2K solution or a journey data solution it's very important that you know the ins and outs of the automation studio and the journey Creator we do have two sessions one on automation studio and one on Journey Builder and the next important one is the subscriber and data management not just for the certification again this is in general for any marketer who is experienced in the marketing Cloud they need to know about the subscriber and data management what data is coming in what data is coming out how we get the data into the marketing cloud and how do we segment them how do we import them different ways to get the data in and the different segmentation tools that are available and if any problems arise how do we troubleshoot we also look at the contact model and the different tools that are available in the marketing cloud the insights and analytics the final one which helps us understand how the campaigns have been doing how the email has been doing and we do have some inbuilt reports and also there's a way to customize and you should be able to know which which report to use and how to customize it given a scenario so there are some capabilities to email the report or schedule it and make it to run every day at a particular time and automatically email it so you can configure customize the reports and for each email send you would be able to know the open rate the bounce rate and the click rate and everything so you should be able to figure out if asked for a particular measure you should be able to figure out where you can find it and how you can find it and this also includes the Einstein features the product recommendations um there are many uh Einstein features that are available in the marketing Cloud you should also be aware of all those features and how you can effectively utilize them and this is a list of all the resources that are available not including the blogs that we will be sharing with each session session after each session we'll be sharing the homework along with the helpful resources and this is like the high level resources where you can get information about the marketing cloud email specialist role and the certification in particular and we do have this exam guide available which talks about all the sections and all the topics that is covered and there is a very good train mix available on trailhead uh it covers all the uh when when someone is getting started with the marketing Cloud so it started it starts with all the beginner content to all the advanced content in the email Studio which helps you to prepare for the certification as well and when you're ready to take the certification and we want to test your knowledge and you want to see for yourself whether you're ready you want to go ahead and schedule the test you can uh take a practice test which is available on the web assessor so that is like it covers 20 questions and it helps you analyze uh where you stand so you can take this test and there's a lot of content available on the Salesforce helper so anything related to the marketing Cloud the

if you don't or if you're not up to date and if you don't complete the maintenance uh requirements like completing the module or completing um the challenges that are linked in there then uh the certification that you have done might expire so just be careful follow the uh due dates and try to finish that before the due dates and stay up to date with all the maintenance questions and Salesforce on the trailhead itself there's a maintenance schedule where you can see uh when is a particular exam has uh the schedule by the deadline so if let's say you have email specialist

checking Gilda's been jumping and answering some questions too um will the decks be shared via email they will be on a um they will be shared to the slack channels um I am is it possible to sign up for four I don't know what for it is and I see one question people asking if they have to pay to use slack you should not cost there's no cost to use slack you should be able to download the app yeah someone mentioned your desktop or mobile and be able to use it for free that's for the upgraded version that we are on now so that that's just six days away no so even that go after six days you should still be able to access the basic Slack so no worries so we you can access everything in there thank you so just really just really just to reiterate slack is free you should not be having to pay anything those are for updated thing um for upgrades you should not have to pay for that if you see only three channels please go to the channel section that I showed you earlier and click the plus sign and do a search for what you're looking for if you are still unable to find it um message me in the slack Channel and I will add you to the perspective channels that you're looking to read to be a part of some of them are locked to just particular speakers but um that's only a very very select few right and there's one question about the partner sign up so in order to follow these sessions you just need the trailhead account but bonus if you have the partner the partner learning Camp access so there's some course available on the email specialist you can use it as an additional Resource as well and take that course but um if you do not have the access to the pattern learning Camp you don't need to worry so we're going to cover everything in detail it's like 11 days of technical content and each session has 60 to 90 minutes of content in there so we are going to cover everything in detail so you can just follow this boot camp and the trailhead resources and all of the resources that we'll be sharing all right I'm looking for anyone thank you uh Christopher jumping and supporting us well for answering questions um all right I think we've answered pretty much all the questions we do have one that says for boot camp day five it was originally at 11 A.M but it's now saying 7 P.M correct yeah that's being changed that is correct so that has been changed so 7 P.M great um good job looking at that and please make sure you note that are there any homeworks besides trailheads so yes let's talk about this great question wonderful wonderful question so when you are being when there is a suggestion to look at the trailheads there's a way to succeed when you are um when you are taking when you're studying for these exams it is very important so say for instance we click on this one yes if completing the trailheads the modules are really good for you but please oh my gosh I don't want to have to sign in because then it's gonna just give me it's going to get me through everything please read the bottom the links all of the links are what is going to help you I'm trying to see if I can show you so these links here these resources there is that's where a lot of the details these are to give you a major overview of what you're studying and what you're going to be learning but a lot of the information that you're looking for is going to be within the links that of what you're studying so these things are going to take you to the um the help Pages for Salesforce marketing Cloud it's going to take you to to the more in-depth studies that you're looking for and that's going to really really help you a lot more with the um with passing these exams I also think fundamentally it will help prepare you for the next session yeah when I think about the lineup of speakers um a couple of them are four or five time MVPs they've been using the platform for as long you know for about as long as I have so when you go through these modules take notes and if you have questions in the next class you can certainly raise your hand and ask some of these you know speakers a question about something that you've just learned by reading the modules and going through the modules so I also think it's important that you know you really understand you know the basics but also fundamentally the concept of how all of this will you know work together absolutely agreed Gilda um so as you guys see so these the links that you see in the modules they will take you to things like the this help pay document and this is an opportunity for you to really read the documentation and understand marketing Cloud setup marketing Cloud glossary understanding what they mean especially for those who like go to just mention understanding the fundamentals what can spam stands for when someone says what a business unit what is a business unit this helps you to understand the glossary dictionary this helps you to under um this is this these help documents are really really good very very good help documents that are going to help you to pass the certification um and be a really big support to you so you there's a ton of content out there to help all of you guys pass as well as the support from your teachers and like Gilda said these are some MVPs golden hoodie Trailblazers who have made their names for all the um the experience that they have in the marketing cloud and you guys are in very good very good well known hands for these certifications uh with that I am done um so I just want to say thank you to you Gilda say thank you to JB for helping to put all of this together as well as to all of you guys for coming to tonight's session get all excited for this and hope uh definitely believe that this boot camp is going to help everyone please make use of this opportunity and we can't wait to see you again in the next session thanks everyone thank you
