Much has been made about the venture capital flooding the presales market and the increasing opportunity for tech companies to scale the presales operation through automation. But what exactly is the presales solution landscape, and is there really an emerging “Presales Tech Stack”? The answer is YES. And there are few people in the community more qualified to discuss it than guest speakers Kerry Sokalsky and Chris White. They have recently released the first ever Presales Buyers Guide, in which they have defined five subcategories of presales automation and tooling. Join them on June 23rd at 11am MT to talk about those categories, the problems they address, the benefits that companies are realizing, and help everyone make better sense of the emerging Presales Tech Stack and landscape.
