Introduction
At a time when CEOs are in a constant quest for growth, there is a promising but often overlooked opportunity available close to home: presales. In general sense presales is a simple process of probing about the target customers.
Presales requires a dedicated team of experts split into roughly two-thirds for technical activities (crafting solutions to customers’ problems) and one-third for commercial activities (managing deal qualification and bid). These activities have two to three times more impact on revenue generation than generating leads. Besides all these presales also helps in battling with contingencies like default in payment, bad debts, and fraudulent transactions. By knowing the financial status of the Company we can easily segregate between a Sound Financial Company and an unsound financial Company and accordingly with whom business relations can be extended.
