You may have noticed a snazzy piece of fashion more and more people are sporting. It\u2019s a soft, black, zip-up hooded sweater with the words \u2018Trailblazer\u2019 emblazoned on the front. If you see someone in a Trailblazer hoodie, you\u2019re looking at a person who is a leader, a transformer, an innovator.<\/p>\n

But what else defines a Trailblazer? If you\u2019re brand new to Salesforce or have never heard of our company, you might not know what a Trailblazer is, and what makes our community special. Let\u2019s take a look at what drives them and makes them so unique.<\/p>\n
