Scaling Presales Teams without Burning Out Your Best People with Ben Hills
Q: How do you differentiate between healthy high-performance and unsustainable overwork?
Healthy high-performance aligns with intrinsic motivation tied to meaningful outcomes, while unsustainable overwork often results from a lack of understanding of the work's significance.
Scaling Presales Teams without Burning Out Your Best People with Ben Hills
Q: What are some mistakes that you've seen companies do when trying to build under those scaling times?
The biggest misstep is thinking that headcount solves challenges. Often, shifting the way existing team members work is a better approach than just hiring more staff. Companies need to ensure they have a clear playbook for new hires to follow.
How Demo Automation and AI Are Transforming Presales with Nalin Senthamil
Q: What are some overlooked use cases for demo automation?
Demo automation can be highly beneficial for low-value deals where sales engineers do not need to be present and in high-value deals to manage multiple touchpoints efficiently.
