DEMOFEST 2022 Keynote Panel - Demo Automation Category Creation
The PreSales profession seemed to go mad in 2021; all of a sudden analysts were creating new categories for the PreSales Tech stack and investors and VCs started piling cash into PreSales tools. I joined a busy panel with Chris White, Kerry Sokalsky, Dan Conway, Peter Cohan and Garin Hess, as host. Consensus sign-in required.

Why is the PreSales focus moving away from demos to influencing, advising, buyer coaching and thought leadership?
And most importantly, when did we become cool?
