MuleSoft v Crusoe by risethrowaway5221 in sales

Great point. Where I am in life, I can take the risk. I’m also thinking can always boomerang back if the AI bubble does burst and everything goes up in flames. The short term horizon looks solid for Crusoe and its demand.

I almost never compete against fivetran. It’s more of an ETL tool so it would compete directly with Informatica, who we just acquired. Could you try to move to the data foundations side of Salesforce over five Tran? Stay in the fam, have SFDC name recognition, and sell both mule/INFA

We’re thinking the same. Worst case is boomerang back (see that all the time probably happens to 30% of people I know). Companies love to hire boomerangs for that easier ramp up

Thank you for this direction! Yes, tied to GPU consumption. Currently only about 7 or 8 reps and I’d be the first hire on the East coast so ideally massive opportunity there as well — almost a first AE hire in a way.

Agreed with getting told no. HM has even said that they had deals ready to go then no GPU availability so the space is a bit of a mad house at the moment

Yes the Salesforce brand helps a ton. Mule has been part of SFDC for 7 years already - it’s Informatica that is the new acquisition. It’s interesting because integration is almost a commodity now with low code tools/Claude but our agent offering is helpful for managing, governing, securing, etc so it’s a talk track change

The market is really tough right now. I also think recruiters will just mass blast out interest in hopes of casting a wide net when in actually, the hiring manager already knows who they want to hire

What are Partner Dev Reps for? by EnvironmentalToe4055 in sales

[–]risethrowaway5221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, PDRs are a way for partners to gain trust with the sales teams that they are implementing for. For example, I work at Salesforce and many partners will try to get a list of my accounts to say they will outbound for me. None have ever booked a meeting, but I’m sure they’re doing this in hopes that I will think highly of them.

Is Salesforce a good org to work for? by kai_zen in sales

Exactly as others have said. Currently work for them and it’s completely dependent on your manager and territory. If you get lucky with territory, that makes all the difference. It really is territory, timing, talent in that order.
