Hi everyone! I am a new Salesforce Product Owner and I’m looking for tips on how to stand out and really make an impact for my team. My product is Sales Cloud and CPQ. I’m new to CPQ, so all I do right now is learn how the business uses CPQ in hopes of helping advance it but I don’t have enough knowledge at the moment to provide major insight like that.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

How did you become a product owner with no CPW experience? Sounds like a recipe for disaster

CPQ has a TON of nuance that you’ll only really grasp from experience.

SC1, thanks! Those are great tips! I’ve thought about doing that, I was just unsure on how to go about the meeting with them. Like big item questions that would get me started. Luckily I do have a great technical team that is very easy to communicate with. My biggest thing is I don’t want to feel like I am bothering them or wasting there time. That’s more so on me though because I don’t think they would feel that way lol

I’m interested in moving into product ownership too. How did you make the move with limited experience?

As for CPQ your best bet is to spin up a new playground in trailhead and get to work on configuration. Salesforce offers training geared towards the cert but you’ll
Learn a lot too.

I feel like my previous jobs set me up for a product owner role. I was never a set admin for one company. My first 16 months was with a consulting group and did admin work but also worked within projects and ended up doing my own consulting after my company contracted me out to a client.

Getting certified should help. Also being well reversed in leading practices for product ownership can be helpful.

Ideally I’d exit to industry in Product/Program manager role but I really needed out and this came up so I took it. And Im on H1B so I cant keep interviewing/accept a better offer if it comes up, once the transfer is initiated.
I can’t decide if Im happy or sad. I’m relieved for now.
