PARKER GUNNELL | salesforce consultant

What is your favorite thing about Salesforce?

I love how comprehensive Salesforce is. It allows any size of company to streamline their business and help delight their customers. It provides sales, service, and even financial support that can be tailored to each company’s specific needs. 

What client project have you worked on that you are most proud of?

I have been able to work with a company named KEPHD to help automate their processes in Salesforce. It has been amazing to see how simple automations can allow for better reporting, more accurate forecasting, and complete information for their customers.

What has your experience been with our company culture?

I have loved how the company’s culture is focused on growth. Everybody acknowledges that they are learning and do everything they can to help others learn. I have been stuck on problems before and as soon as I ask a question to the group, I have multiple answers to help me solve the problem.

What is your team like?

My team is my first point of contact when I need help. We work together to make sure we can deliver the best results to our clients. We also have a great time together and try our best to get to know each other outside of work.

What are some things you’ve noticed about our leadership team?

The leadership team’s focus is to help everyone develop into the consultant they want to be. They put our priorities fur and give everyone opportunities to strengthen their weaknesses and develop their talents.  

What have been your biggest accomplishments on our team?

My biggest accomplishment so far has been getting my Salesforce Admin certificate after only working with Salesforce for a couple of months. 

Who are some of your biggest inspirations within the company?

Spencer Lowe and Matt Brown have been great inspirations on my consulting journey, and they both had a role to play in helping me find my interest in Salesforce. Jonathan Peckham has also been an inspiration in helping me develop my skills both with Salesforce and consulting.

What kinds of resources have you taken advantage of while on our team?

The biggest resources I have taken advantage of are the other team members. They all have so much knowledge of different aspects of Salesforce and can quickly help me find a solution to my problem. 

Which benefits are your favorite and why?

My favorite benefit has been weekly lunches with the company. Not only do we get free lunch, but we also get to spend time getting to know whom we work with.

What’s the most unique part about working here?

The most unique part about working at SOLVD is the fully remote work. At first, I was worried about not getting to know my coworkers like at other companies that I have worked remotely for, but they have made it a priority to maintain inclusiveness and morale.

How have you grown professionally while on our team?

I have grown in many ways during my short time at SOLVD. I first developed my technical abilities with Salesforce. I have also developed my consulting and project management abilities while shadowing my managers and other teammates. Overall I have grown more in the past 3 months at SOLVD than I did in a year at any of my last jobs.

Testimonials

Our clients say

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!

Veronica Wong Director of Operations at Pathstream

SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.

Matt Benzaquen Sr Manager, Sales Strategy at Instabug

As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
