Build vs. Buy Guide

We built a PreSales platform, so that you don't have to.

CRM platforms were never designed with Sales Engineering in mind. Many of these solutions fall short when it comes to ease of activity tracking, properly representing the SE team’s impact on revenue, or quickly adapting to changes in the sales process.

Vivun provides PreSales with everything they need to scale their workflows, de-risk the forecast, and align Product with Sales, along with an AI-powered assistant for every sales engineer.

To get a fraction of the functionality you get from Vivun, you would have to invest 10 months of development with 4 full-time employees who typically work 2,080 hours per year at $100/hr— or over $700,000 in development costs. Does building something in-house truly cater to the nuanced demands of Sales Engineering?
