Executive Summary

Disjointed presales-to-support workflows routinely slow deal velocity and leak revenue: account executives, presales engineers, customer success and support teams in mid-market and enterprise B2B sellers wrestle with manual handoffs, stale context and duplicated effort—an ecosystem of roughly 18 million businesses spending about $5,000 annually on sales, presales and automation tooling yields a $90B addressable market. Sales and revenue operations teams already report that reps allocate a significant share of time to administrative tasks (commonly cited in the 20–30% range), and complex deals with multiple stakeholders magnify the cost of poor coordination. You could build an LLM-driven orchestration layer that automatically summarizes deals in natural language, drafts and personalizes outreach, recommends intelligent next actions, and enforces handoff SLAs through prebuilt API-first connectors to CRMs, engagement tools and ticketing systems—designed with human-in-the-loop controls, audit trails and data governance. Market timing is favorable: large language models materially reduce the engineering effort to generate useful summaries and personalization, API-first CRMs and open connectors lower integration friction, and centralized revenue operations teams are increasingly buying for cross-functional automation; our assessment of the opportunity scores the market 92/100 with revenue potential 88/100. This product can stand out by targeting the specific presales-to-support gap rather than rehashing CRM or outreach features: differentiate with transparent, explainable AI outputs tied to measurable outcomes (reduced handoff latency, uplifted win rates), enterprise-grade security/compliance, and turnkey vertical templates plus fast pilot workflows for revenue ops. Challenges are real — medium competition including entrenched CRM vendors, the need to prove ROI through pilots, and sensitive data governance — so early focus on a narrow segment (e.g., mid-market tech firms with 50–500 reps), strong integration partners, and conservative outcome pricing will be critical to win enterprise trust and scale.
