I did!

Had a lot of success in 2022. 2023 has been tougher, as it's been for the whole Salesforce ecosphere.

In order to be successful, you need to have extensive expertise in a specialty. Nobody is going to contract out to a sales cloud consultant when they're a dime a dozen.

Just lean into a niche that's close to your expertise. Example: if you're very technical, look into becoming a CTA, Mulesoft certs, etc. If you're more functional, find a niche process or function (CPQ, Tableau, etc) that is aligned with your skills. If everyone was capable of being "one of a kind" at the same thing, then they wouldn't be one of a kind anymore! Haha

Send me a message, I know a recruiter that is an expert in providing contract pipelines to small shops and one man shops starting out
