SMB deals with technical co‑pilot coverage today. The other 95 run on the AE alone.

The gap — in your own words

Pulled from your team's own calls and channels — nothing here is our framing.
You've already named the problem. Repeatedly.

Coverage

“95 percent of those deals don't have the technical co-pilot coverage.”

Leah McTiernan · GVP, DocuSign. The vast majority of SMB pipeline moves with zero technical support.

AEs alone

“Most of those deals are account executives working independently with no technical solution consultative support.”

Shuba Ananthanarayanan · VP Product Management, DocuSign. Technical questions land on AEs who aren't equipped to answer them.

Overloaded support

The Genius Bar can't keep up.

Internal support channel · DocuSign. 500+ product questions a month pull SEs off customer-facing work to play help desk.

Fragmented stack

Knowledge lives everywhere and nowhere.

Across the GTM stack · DocuSign. Slack, Gemini, Gong, Drive, Notebook, ACE — 6+ disjointed tools mean inconsistent assets and stale answers.

What the gap costs, every quarter

No coverage isn't a saving. Leaving 95% uncovered isn't neutral.

It's a tax paid in slower deals, drained experts, and lost SMB revenue at volume.

A

Slow deal cycles

When a technical question stalls a deal, the AE waits — for an SE to free up, for a Genius Bar reply, for a doc that may be out of date. Days add up across thousands of SMB deals.

B

Drain expensive experts

Every one of the 500+ monthly questions is an SE pulled out of a high-value enterprise deal to answer something Ava could resolve in seconds.

C

Fragment the message

Six tools, no single source of truth. Value cases, stakeholder maps, and solution docs get rebuilt by hand — differently — on every deal.

D

Lose winnable deals

The deals most likely to slip are the ones nobody technical ever touched. At SMB volume, a few points of win rate is real revenue.

The fix, point for point

Hero is trained on your product like a new hire, then shows up on every deal at once.
Same pipeline. Different coverage.
