Part 1:Setting the Stage

Ah, the Salesforce ecosystem and AppExchange. Think of them as the grand ballroom of tech where you’re not just a guest but the star performer. Before you take the stage, however, you need to know your lines, your props, and which way the exit is (just in case). Before our show begins, we need to do a dress rehearsal.

First, we’ll embark on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Salesforce ecosystem and AppExchange, to familiarize ourselves with the spotlight and where not to step. Then, as you transform into the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partner you were destined to be, we’ll share secrets (shh!) on crafting apps that not only dazzle but also resonate with the audience... I mean, customers.

By the time the curtain falls on this part, you’ll have your performance mapped out, ready to receive a standing ovation on AppExchange.

Our setlist includes the following:

  • Chapter 1, Introduction to Salesforce Ecosystem and AppExchange
  • Chapter 2, Becoming an AppExchange Partner
