Listen in to hear her five key questions to ask before launching any project, what KPIs presales and enablement can share, and what the career pathway between these roles can look like.

Susan Beal, Chief Customer Officer at Blue Yonder, joins us to discuss why presales teams need to think "beyond the sale" and work closely with CS to drive account growth, expansion, and ultimately a better client experience.

Today we tackle an important and difficult conversation. We were excited to welcome Lidia Vasileva on the show who if you don't know yet where HAVE you been!

Lidia shares her journey of growth into Presales from a more technical role, and how having a particularly creative mindset can be a boost to presales in the way problems are approached and solutions are presented. She's a champion of clarity and now even helps others tune their messaging to be more clear in business.

Both her roles have been in industries which are traditionally very male-dominated. The industry needs to be better at having the conversation about women in presales and not be scared of saying the wrong thing when trying to get it right.

So Adam and Mark get a dive into the conversation supported by Lidia - it's uncomfortable but it has to be, and there's no excuse for not trying to create a better world for everyone, whomever you are in our presales industry.

Continue the conversation on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/69409342 and connect with Lidia too! https://www.linkedin.com/in/lidia-vasileva/
