The Presales take on data and analytics

Insights

We spoke with 6 senior leaders about the challenges and opportunities of using data and analytics to inform decisions for presales departments.

What are the 3 types of presales data?

  • Activity metrics: How many demos are we doing?
  • Outcome metrics: What is our win-rate?
  • Customer metrics: What did the customer care about on the call?

9 Presales data points you should be tracking

  • There is a lot of data presales teams need to track. Are you tracking the right data?
  • The most impactful data is presales’ revenue relationship and win rate impact. Or “outcome metrics.”
  • Activity data helps make sure presales are spending their time on the right activities. But tracking activity data is hard.

How to use new data to get a seat at the table

  • Demo Software provides presales teams with new buyer engagement data.
  • With non-traditional pre-sales KPIs, presales leaders are transforming how they speak with sales leadership.
  • Demostack’s Salesforce Integration makes it easier to marry sales and presales data.

Slice and dice data for insights

  • The more data you collect with purpose, the more you can slice and dice into valuable insights later.
  • Harbor tour demos are boring, but are they worth the investment of customization?

  • She showed that they increased win rate by more than 10% for her product.
