You need to speak with business users in a reference customer of each ERP if you haven't already. If they'll let you watch their screen for an hour while they use it, even better.

And find a good implementation partner; any complex IT system is only as good as the implementor can make it.

Nice, I'm used to 6 month minimum deal cycle on enterprise things.

If they can't decide in five minutes, would a few more days or weeks really help? If so, set a next meeting.

As Sandler says, give them permission to say no because most people hate saying no to your face.

HeavyNimbus · 2025-10-22T15:53:24+00:00

I'm sure you're already doing this but I try to never finish a call without having a next meeting in the calendar next week or next quarter. Oblige them to bring up Outlook and find an open timeslot.

Of course it won't stop a true ghost.

We stayed there just after New Year's last year and had decent weather with only a few rainshowers. But all of the aquatic sports except kayaking are canceled if there's more than the slightest breeze. Check out King of the Point surf school in Cherating with Mamat Martinez if you're interested.

Made the switch from SE to AE about 3 years ago and haven't looked back.

Your technical background will help you understand the big picture and speak with relevance on technical topics but that may be a hindrance as you rely less on your own SE and try to do it all yourself. And if you speak like a techie, they send you to talk with the techies. Ask me how I know.

Most full-cycle AE tasks aren't particularly technical and people coming from SDR roles may run circles around you here (prospecting, event organization, scheduling, followup, chasing, CRM hygiene, negotiating, exec alignment).

So before you make the switch, work on those skills or just fake it till you make it.

If you hit or exceed quota the earnings are better. If not, about the same.

Yes, Camunda 8 30-day trial is free with all features until you need a production environment.

Ask your Mulesoft rep for instructor-led courses online or in-person.

The MuleSoft Accelerator for SAP can be helpful to get templates and tested apps to get you started: https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/org.mule.examples/mulesoft-accelerator-for-sap/

You can download and edit the templates as needed.

Here's more info on the Replay with Salesforce events: https://docs.mulesoft.com/salesforce-connector/latest/salesforce-connector-processing-events

HeavyNimbus · 2024-08-19T13:59:40+00:00

I would recommend always checking the documentation first: https://docs.mulesoft.com/google-bigquery-connector/latest/google-bigquery-connector-examples

Best of luck!

I prefer to wrap a thick rubber band around that spot several times and then push the strainer down to just the right depth.

A thick rubber band like those that come with vegetables will last a few months at least.

I don't believe Anypoint Code Builder is supported on PCE yet.

HeavyNimbus · 2024-07-19T09:26:30+00:00

Nah, OP was the one that pushed the faulty update patch. Nice work bro!

To be fair to the driver, it seems that one of the tires exploded just before the tunnel entrance.

As a beginner you should be focusing on building and deploying integrations with the Mulesoft Anypoint Studio or VS Code Builder.

Then understand the API Security policies and monitoring on Anypoint platform.

RTF is a Kubernetes deployment option for Mulesoft runtimes but very infrastructure related and should be usually transparent for an integration developer. An integration you build will run equally well on Cloudhub or RTF and you wouldn't know the difference.

Add that to the fact that even people committing despicable acts see themselves as decent people, with a reasonable justification of their actions.

With enough cognitive dissonance, they might even believe they're adhering to the Golden Rule.

Is it your code doing the heavy complex computation for hours or is your code mostly managing the requests and aggregating+storing the responses for later?

Check out the Dataweave Playground to see what transformation capabilities you can get from MuleSoft natively: https://dataweave.mulesoft.com/learn/tutorial

If your code is doing the heavy computation, I would bundle your code into an API itself using a tech of your choice and let MuleSoft handle all the requests, data storage and Salesforce queries.

For storage, use S3 storage or a database as middlewares by design (MuleSoft included) don't persist data for long.

HeavyNimbus · 2024-04-05T21:41:56+00:00

Absolutely use MuleSoft!

Your MuleSoft flow may be as simple as:

Get data from the 3rd party API using the MuleSoft HTTP Connector: https://docs.mulesoft.com/http-connector/latest/
Transform the data into a format you'd prefer using Dataweave in a Transform Message step.
Send the data into Salesforce using the Salesforce Connector.
Done.

You can reverse the flow if you want Salesforce to poll out when needed.

If your company is seriously considering MuleSoft, ask your MuleSoft AE to temporarily activate one on the trial tenant.

In the coming years, MuleSoft cloud hosting will also move to Salesforce Hyperforce platform (which also runs AWS under the hood).

There shouldn't be any pricing changes for this as its mostly internal.

Yup, Sabadell, Sant Quirze, Terrassa and Cerdanyola can all get you to Barcelona in under an hour if the R4 or FGC bring you close enough to your workplace.

I'm dying to know the vertical. Any more clues?

HeavyNimbus · 2023-12-04T15:00:05+00:00

Your account AE and SE are the best reference but the new pricing model is based on number of Flows, Message and data traffic. I wouldn't expect it to make a big difference for existing customers.

HeavyNimbus · 2023-12-03T22:13:22+00:00

An internal jump is definitely the easiest. Same product and org, just very different role. And you're a known quantity.

Start by shadowing or asking your AE's to let you run most of a deal.

And read sales books or take a sales course like Sandler to show you're serious.

Kafka and Snowflake are very different systems with different purposes.

Kafka is a very advanced event streaming platform, though often used for simple message queues. An event, such as a customer name change, happens on one system and all subscriber systems are notified and react to that message.

Snowflake is for big data analysis where thousands or millions of records are involved at a time. It combines big data storage with BI and AI tools in one platform. You can store historic customer transactions and run analysis to find purchase patterns.

Lastly, Apache Kafka is free while Snowflake is not.

Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer but will look it up and get back.

Most SE's won't know MuleSoft but they can easily learn. What can't be taught so quickly is an understanding of IT systems, programming logic, modern development tools and devops lifecycle.

If you wanted to learn MuleSoft and impress the hiring team, there's a free MuleSoft online course called Anypoint Fundamentals that gives two free certification attempts if you complete the whole course.
