Having been a VP at a Fortune 500 company, I can tell you that getting me as a corporate VP to pay $100k for a web tool was basically impossible. It gets sent to procurement, and by the time you are done, it’s hard to get anyone to pay more than $20k for a tool. And there’s never any extra budget for a six figure tool to make the troops happier (sadly). But. A solution? Solve my problem around billing? Around customer success? Around CPQ?
