The problem it solves

Half your booked demos would have converted better on the self-serve trial — and your AEs know it before the intro slide.

Who it's for

Built for lead-driven businesses that want qualified leads, not just email addresses.

A short pre-demo assessment that replaces the raw 'book a demo' calendar. Enterprise-fit lands on an AE; the rest start a guided trial with a follow-up plan.

What you learn as the owner or team

Every submission becomes a scored lead in your dashboard.

  • Contact name, company, and role.
  • Score, band, and full answer set.
  • Recommended lane and the pre-read pack for that lane.
  • Source tag: pricing · docs · outbound · marketplace.
