What is the Fix the Sales Engineering Feedback Loop course about?

Technical sales teams run dozens of proofs of concept, but insights from the field rarely make it back to solution architects or product teams in time to influence the next deal. Feedback lives in emails, call notes, and slide comments , not in a living system. That means repeated mistakes, duplicated work, and delayed commercialization of winning technical approaches. The result: slower.
