Four years ago I was enlisted by Outreach to build the PreSales team.

I needed playbooks, frameworks, and best practices, beyond what I could draw from my previous experience. I tapped my network and spent hours searching the internet looking for literature, resources, and professional organizations that I could learn from. Aside from a couple books and out-dated blogs, I came up empty. Since I began my career in management consulting where there are a lot of resources and professional organizations that exist, I was certain the same would exist for PreSales - but I was wrong. It became clear to me that there is a large gap for education and professional development in our rapidly growing function of PreSales.

There are more than 500,000 PreSales professionals globally, yet no unifying organization has previously existed to support the growth and development of this group.

It's time to change that.
