The value of presales professionals is typically well understood but often poorly quantified within the C-suite and the rest of the go-to-market organization. While presales attach rates on a given opportunity vary (the sales stage at which a presales enters into an opportunity and the time a presales professional contributes to the lifecycle of that sales opportunity), there is a clear force-multiplier effect from presales on the business. Here is a presales ROI calculator to help quantify your sales engineering team’s presales value to your business and what is possible if you could have access to your own presales tools that could up-level your game. Take five minutes to calculate your own ROI.
