Salesforce AppExchange Success Blueprint

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
  • Chapter 3, Designing Customer-Centric Applications

I got around to reviewing Jakub's book this weekend, and it is a *very* comprehensive 300 pages of end-to-end knowledge and guidance on the entire journey. From ideation and planning, to development, security review, and marketing an app listing.I've been a guest on Jakub's AI podcast, and look forward to future iterations of this book as the goal posts move towards GPT-driven development and dialogue-based CRM-AI systems. Jakub seems primed to redefine how PDOs approach future AppExchange AI apps.

I have been reading the "Salesforce AppExchange Success Blueprint" for the past days and it's really awesome. I’m very impressed with the level of detail, the step by step approach and the wide range of topics the book covers, from ideation to marketing, including best practices and strategies. I highly recommend it to ALL Salesforce professionals working with ISVs, not only in the engineering department but in product management as well.Really amazing work!

Buildings apps for the Salesforce App Exchange requires a specialized skill set vs building a custom solution for a single customer. This book can help guide you through designing and delivering scalable solutions on the App Exchange.

This guide is essential for anyone looking to publish an app on the Salesforce AppExchange. It's the most thorough guide that I've seen on the topic and Jakub does a great job of laying out some foundational information about the Salesforce Platform and Ecosystem and then builds on top of that with practical guidance on the steps to become an AppExchange partner and then develop and publish an app. It also covers some longer term topics, like managing technical debt and gathering analytics about the performance of your app, which aren't always covered in a lot of other guides. The guidance in this book is also based on Jakub's own experience, which helps to add a personal touch to his writing and also makes it really enjoyable to read.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
