First newsletter, why?

I have ∼6.000 LinkedIn followers. I get similar requests on a daily basis:

• I want to start a SAP career, how can I do?

• I want to learn SAP, from where to start?

• What SAP courses do you recommend for beginner profiles like mine?

• I don’t have IT/tech background, any hope I can become SAP consultant?

So I decided to launch this newsletter for you. To share my knowledge, expertise, how I learnt and how I failed so you don’t make similar mistakes and become successful in your SAP journey.

At the university, one of my school mates told me "Walid, we should learn ERPs, especially SAP, it's the best. It does everything a company needs and it's very demanded in the job market".

I didn't care at that time but today I can't stop thinking about it: SAP is not only N.1 in ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning - software that helps companies in sales, accounting, purchasing etc.) but also leader of enterprise apps!

There are more than 44.000 companies using it. SAP consultant average salary is ∼100k$ and can go up to 229k$ (Glassdoor)

So YES it's definitely worth becoming SAP expert but how can one do it?

They don't usually teach SAP at "normal" schools. This was my problem when I graduated. I wanted to work in the SAP world but I had zero ERP knowledge. Companies rejected my internship application because of that. I guess it’s the same for you 🤷‍♂️

So HOW to become SAP expert for free?

In 2007, there were very few old books about SAP. I didn’t know what did SAP look like, neither if I had to learn technical or functional stuff etc.

Today (2023), you can find everything in the internet. You can learn skating on Youtube, cooking in TikTok! BUT there are too many things that you can never know whether you pick the right one. During my 1st internship, my manager told us: “As soon as we master technology, it becomes obsolete!” True story from the present: as soon as we learnt crypto, NFTs appeared and we got overwhelmed 😰

Same for SAP. It has more than 300 solutions and platforms. It keeps developing and acquiring stuff. But which one to pick and where to find relevant and new content??

In this newsletter I will give you the tricks to learn the most up to date and demanded SAP solutions in the market, without using your credit card using official SAP content !

It’s not a scam 😈 SAP trainings are expensive but for students and people seeking SAP jobs there are plenty of alternatives that don't require any investment.

That’s all for today ❤️.
