Finally, you’ll do a cold email and voicemail case study.
Module 2
Salesforce
In module 2, you'll learn all about Salesforce. Salesforce is the market share leader in the Customer Relationship Management world. Salesforce and CRMs in general are built to track and analyze interactions with current and future customers. In this module, you'll learn about some of the most important objects in Salesforce including leads, opportunities, contacts, and accounts, and how they all relate to each other. Once you learn the fundamentals, be able to use a real Salesforce account and do a demo with a CSC proctor. At the end of the module you'll understand:
- Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, and Accounts and how they relate to each other
- How to Create new leads
- How to Convert leads to contacts, opportunities, and accounts
- How to Log calls
- How to Create new tasks


Module 3
Cold Calling Fellowship
It’s time to learn by doing! In this module, you’ll practice the day-to-day of an SDR and make some real-life cold calls. After watching some CSC-specific cold calling material, we’ll get you set up to make some cold calls. Don’t worry, it’s a lot easier than you think! While making your calls, you’ll also record the results in your very own CRM.
