Pre-Sales Notes
My job as a presales rep is to:
1 Listen > listen to the customer to gain an understanding of their business touchpoints and/or help customer understand their business needs.
2. Understand > gain context around customer preferences and behaviors > understand OPPORTUNITY: where are improvements needed? what solution is a good fit for them?
3. ACT > test your understanding by acting on your insights in the moment. am I correct in my interpretation of their message?
4. Develop a budget that will make sense to customer fiscally. Requires strong communication skills: a delicate, sensible appoach. Big value here from technical pre-sales rep.

That is exactly the wrong way to go. need to slow down, be more thoughtful and accurately recommend best solution for customer.
