A fellow Salesforce consultant recently published a tool that allows you to generate a banner image with all your Salesforce credentials.

This includes the

  • Number of Trailhead badges completed
  • Number of Trailhead superbadges completed
  • Number of Salesforce certifications and accreditations
  • An image for each superbadge
  • An image for each certification

Here’s an example of the output.

Let’s put aside the reduced impact of certs for a moment. What value does this banner actually provide? Will people really be impressed by the number of blue and white heptagons?

This reminds me of my email Are you a 7x Salesforce Certified Consultant? 

The takeaway
While a banner like this may seem like a good idea, they don’t actually convey much to potential clients.

A much better approach would be to share a slogan, motto, or short explanation of what service or differentiator you provide.
