Tweetable Quotes:
“Our focus is on demo automation because the demo and engaging sales engineers is one of those things that’s inherently difficult to scale and make really efficient. And so that’s why we focus there.” (03:21)
“Sales engineering has traditionally been looked at as a necessary evil rather than a strategic function. Marketing and sales are always looked at as strategic functions.” (06:20)
“This issue of qualification is such a problem because it steals time away from their most important deals.” (11:06)
“The premise of buyer enablement is you, as the seller, should be in charge of the buying process.” (17:37)
“One of the main things I would emphasize in sales, in general, is we focus a lot on financial ROI, which is great. I’d like to emphasize that we should be focusing on emotional ROI as well.” (22:13)
