As we reflect on the challenges brought upon us in 2020, we’ve been inspired by the extreme resiliency demonstrated by humanity and the undeniable power of community. For Presales Collective (PSC), the silver lining of our year has been watching this global community of 8,500+ PreSales professionals come together in support of each other. Individuals across our profession are connecting like never before.
A hallmark year... thanks to you.
We continue to be humbled by the impact made by PreSales Collective members. This year, we have witnessed this community open doors to new opportunities, advise members through career transitions, drive deals forward through connections made, and help launch 11 WISE programs at various companies. The community support system has empowered many of us in PreSales to do more than they previously thought possible.
PreSales Collective is not possible without you. The energy and effort that you put into this community, into bettering yourself and those around you, will pay dividends for years to come. We want to thank you and everyone who has joined PreSales Collective this year. And a special thank you to those leading PSC programs and initiatives.
Looking Ahead to 2021 and Beyond!
We remain committed to our mission of elevating the role of PreSales within organizations worldwide, and in providing PreSales professionals with the resources, knowledge, network, and mentorship to develop impactful careers. In this new year, PreSales Collective (PSC) is offering more resources to drive this global community to new heights.
What’s Ahead
