What is a Salesforce MVP?
The Salesforce MVP program was started in 2010 to annually recognize Trailblazer Community experts who go above and beyond to help others succeed in the Salesforce ecosystem. United by their passion for innovation and love for the Salesforce Platform, Salesforce MVPs embody three key characteristics that drive their success: expertise, leadership, and generosity.
- Expertise: Salesforce MVPs maintain a strong understanding of Salesforce products and are eager to share their expertise through answering questions, authoring blogs, and more.
- Leadership: Salesforce MVPs lead Trailblazer Community Groups, help underprivileged communities skill up on Trailhead—Salesforce’s free online learning platform, and participate in programs like Salesforce MVP Office Hours and Community Conferences. Leadership also encompasses professional presence and how you show up in the Trailblazer Community, both in person and online.
- Generosity: Salesforce MVPs are the ultimate connectors and mentors. In addition to maintaining their Salesforce knowledge, they’re always willing to share insights, ideas, and connections to help others succeed.
Currently, there are 250+ Salesforce MVPs across 31 countries worldwide. Meet the current Salesforce MVPs to learn what they’re up to!
Additionally, Salesforce MVPs who have been renewed for 5 consecutive years are recognized by being inducted into the Salesforce MVP Hall of Fame. This lifetime award celebrates exceptional Trailblazers who have driven monumental impact across Salesforce’s core values and serve as mentors to the next generation of Salesforce MVPs and the Trailblazer Community at large.
Nominations for the Salesforce MVP Class of 2024 are open now through Nov. 12, 2023, so nominate a Trailblazer now.
Learn from peers, build your Salesforce network, and give back to your local community.
