PreSales Unleashed | Sales Engineering im B2B Software Vertrieb

Why Solution Engineering Needs Its Own Operating System, with Edward Kandel (252)


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Edward Kandel, founder of Coform & Focal, to dig into why solution engineering often feels like a black box. We explore why the impact of SE teams remains elusive, how knowledge gets trapped, and what it takes to bring true visibility to PreSales and delivery. Edward shares his journey from investor to community builder and unveils how his projects are changing the way we measure and prove SE value. We also discuss the evolution of software sales toward consumption-based pricing and what that means for the future of our roles. If you want to understand where PreSales is heading and how to become indispensable in the age of AI-driven software, this episode is for you.
