I believe that Presales is an increasingly vital role in the sales process. More so, I believe the role of a Presales Consultant requires fluidity and adaptability to exceed our customer's expectations. Coupled with the need to keep up with the pace of technology growth and range of market solutions, there is no doubt in my mind that Presales is high performance role. This requires a special breed of highly technical and emotionally intelligent individuals whom I am proud to lead.Success, to us, means effectively helping our customers plan budgets and discover key business and technology outcomes. This results in the delivery of professional proposals, quality high level designs and thorough handovers to our top-class implementation and managed services teams to continue the best customer experience possible.Above all else, I see myself as being in service to my team, so that they may focus on being in service to our customers.
