About 20 years ago, Blockbuster offered a “try before you buy” approach.

They allowed a customer to listen to a CD (yes, CD’s as in Compact Discs) before making a purchase.

It was a great model, as a customer could gain more clarity on what they were buying.

This model is applied to most services and products online now (streaming, shareware, etc.).

Sometime it’s just a sample, but enough to spark an interest.

Maybe this same approach can work for you.

By building out example Salesforce projects and solutions for potential employers to view and sample.

Providing a glimpse of what you can do, what you’ve learned, and how you’ve applied it.

It may lead to a phone call, an email inquiry, an interview and ultimately a job offer.

Companies often have resistance to making a hiring decision, so allow your work (not your resume alone) speak for itself and reduce their hiring reluctance.

You have a best-selling Top 40 hit to offer.

Potential employers need and want to listen, see, and experience it.

Create your hit!
