Opine: Insights and strategies shaping modern presales growth

Stop switching tabs. Learn how Opine’s new open platform and MCP tools bring live, self-correcting product knowledge directly into your team's workflows.

Building enterprise AI isn't just about output; it requires a built-in infrastructure for scoring, tracking, and improving agent performance over time. The decision to build feels empowering due to total control, but quickly spirals into a full-time engineering commitment. Buying can feel like giving up control, but it offloads infrastructure overhead to a dedicated partner.

Opine SQL is a single SQL surface on top of your Opine data that lets RevOps, sales, and presales teams answer pipeline questions without constant CSV exports and spreadsheets. You can query pipeline, evaluations, accounts, tickets, and activity from the in‑product editor, via MCP‑connected AI clients like Claude or Cursor, or through a public API. An AI assistant, Opine SQL AI, turns plain‑English requests into SQL, so non‑technical users can generate and reuse queries. Teams then schedule exports of these queries to warehouses and tools, powering reports like weekly pipeline snapshots, risk feeds for SE leaders, and forecast models that blend Opine’s deal health signals with CRM and product usage data.

Presales stays invisible in QBRs because CRM never captures SE work. Here are the four metrics to track and how AI agents make them show up automatically.

What if losing a deal could still pay off? Opine Bets™ is here, and it's changing everything we thought we knew about pipeline management. Read the full announcement.

One of the fundamental phases of selling technical solutions is the Proof of Concept (POC), an evaluation process that brings together buyers and sellers for a series of tests to validate potential solutions. However, what often starts off as a simple process can quickly unravel into a web of complexity and confusion.

In today’s competitive sales environment, a strong technical win rate is crucial for closing deals and driving revenue. A technical win means the buyer’s team has validated your solution as the right fit, but it doesn’t guarantee the deal will close. So how can Sales Engineers (SEs) boost technical win rates and ensure those wins translate into signed contracts?

In enterprise sales, a Proof of Concept (POC) is the ultimate proving ground. It’s the opportunity for both buyer and seller to validate the solution in real-world scenarios. However, enterprise POCs come with their own set of challenges—multiple stakeholders, shifting priorities, and extensive timelines can derail even the most promising deals.
