[SE 1/∞] What do you think are the top 3 pitfalls for a SaaS Pre-Sales Engineer? For me: 1. Engaging into product demo without requirements validation 2. Following Sales team for every customer, including the first discovery!! 3. Everyone's favourite, taking up post-sales activities... And end up spending quality time on pre-sales activities

I think a big issue is also failing to fully understand the competition. You need to know what other solutions the client might be considering to effectively position your product.
