Program Built. Outcomes Measured.

Most organizations purchase Consensus to improve demo scalability. The highest-performing organizations use it to transform how buyers engage, how PreSales scales, and how revenue teams execute. Dustorm PreSales bridges the gap between platform deployment and measurable program outcomes.


Technology deployment is the easy part. Many organizations have Consensus. Few have a program.

Consensus Strategy & Program Ownership

Consensus Strategy & Program Ownership

Consensus Strategy & Program Ownership

A Consensus deployment without a defined owner becomes a tool nobody is accountable for. This pillar establishes the vision, sponsorship, and governance structure that turns a platform purchase into a managed program. It answers the questions that get skipped at launch: who owns this, what does success look like, and who reports on it.


What this looks like:

  • A documented program charter naming an owner and a cross-functional steering group (PreSales, Sales, Marketing, RevOps)
  • Success metrics defined before rollout, not retrofitted after adoption stalls
  • A scaling roadmap that shows leadership where the program goes in 6, 12, and 18 months

Center of Excellence (CoE) Design

Consensus Strategy & Program Ownership

Consensus Strategy & Program Ownership

A CoE is what separates a content library from a program. This pillar defines the roles, processes, and standards that govern how demos get built, who approves them, and how the library stays current instead of decaying into duplicate or outdated assets.


What this looks like:

  • A roles and responsibilities framework (who builds, who approves, who retires content)
  • An intake and prioritization process so demo requests don't bottleneck on one person
  • A standing measurement cadence that reviews program health on a fixed schedule, not ad hoc

Demo Automation Strategy

Adoption & Change Management

Adoption & Change Management

Not every demo should be automated, and not every automated demo belongs in every stage of the buyer journey. This pillar determines which demos to automate versus keep live, and maps Consensus into the stages where it actually moves a deal forward.


What this looks like:

  • A decision framework for automate-vs-live based on deal stage and stakeholder type
  • Mapping of demo assets to specific buyer journey moments (discovery, technical validation, executive review)
  •  Use of engagement data to identify which automated demos are influencing pipeline and those that are not enabling buyers

Adoption & Change Management

Adoption & Change Management

Adoption & Change Management

Technology deployment is the easy part. Adoption is the program. This pillar covers the field-facing work of getting Sales and PreSales to actually use what was built: training, internal champions, and accountability mechanisms that prevent a strong launch from becoming a slow fade.


What this looks like:

  • Identification and enablement of internal champions who model adoption for their peers
  • A rollout communication plan that doesn't rely on a single launch email
  • Ongoing utilization tracking with a defined response when adoption plateaus

PreSales Process Integration

PreSales Process Integration

PreSales Process Integration

A demo platform that sits outside the sales process becomes optional. This pillar embeds Consensus into how deals are actually run — not by prescribing how Sales and PreSales teams should operate, but by making Consensus the natural tool within whatever process already exists.


What this looks like:

  • Consensus touchpoints built into discovery and demo strategy so reps know when and how to deploy assets
  • Engagement data from Demolytics surfaced during forecasting calls and account reviews to sharpen deal strategy
  • Demo prep informed by what a prospect has already watched, skipped, or revisited — so live time is spent where it matters

Asset Portfolio Strategy

PreSales Process Integration

PreSales Process Integration

The right demo, for the right stakeholder, at the right moment. This pillar governs the deliberate build-out of a content library that serves real buyer variation — by industry, by role, by deal type — so the answer to "we need something more specific" is a governed process, not a one-off scramble.


What this looks like:

  • Stakeholder-specific asset mapping that distinguishes what an economic buyer needs to see from what a technical evaluator needs to validate
  • A framework for when and how industry-specific or customer-tailored content gets created, approved, reused, and retired
  • Content governance standards that prevent the library from growing into an unmanaged archive that nobody trusts

Enablement & Capability Building

Enablement & Capability Building

Enablement & Capability Building

Developing people, not just systems. This pillar builds the internal capability to run the program without ongoing dependency: coaching Consensus administrators, training program owners, and equipping PreSales and Sales teams to use the platform as part of how they sell.


What this looks like:

  • Direct coaching for whoever owns day-to-day Consensus administration
  • Train-the-trainer programs so capability scales without bottlenecking on one expert
  • Executive stakeholder education so leadership understands what the program does and why it matters

KPI & Program Health

Enablement & Capability Building

Enablement & Capability Building

Executive-level thinking applied to program outcomes. This pillar defines the metrics that connect Consensus activity to pipeline visibility, PreSales capacity, and revenue impact — framed in terms an executive sponsor can defend in a budget conversation.


What this looks like:

  • Consensus-Influenced Pipeline %: measuring how broadly the program is impacting revenue-stage opportunities
  • Demo Lag Time: a leading indicator of PreSales capacity strain and program adoption health 
  • SE-Influenced Opportunities: interpreted against the organization's specific coverage model — some teams optimize for fewer, larger engagements; others maximize SE visibility across the pipeline


Note: The full KPI framework is scoped per engagement; the above are common examples.

How Engagements Are Structured

These pillars are delivered through milestone-based engagements scoped and structured per organization. Every engagement begins with a diagnostic conversation to establish where the program stands, what the organization needs, and what success looks like before any work begins.


The three engagement tiers reflect scope and organizational complexity — not which services are accessible. A smaller program still gets governance, enablement, and measurement. A more complex program gets those same areas applied with greater depth, more stakeholders, and broader integration.

Diagnose

Diagnose

Diagnose

 A one-time diagnostic of an existing Consensus program. For organizations that already have Consensus deployed and need to know what's working, what's broken, and where to focus first. 


Typically 60 minutes live, findings delivered within 5 business days. 

Build

Diagnose

Diagnose

 A scoped foundation engagement covering program strategy, CoE design, governance, and demo automation decisions. Sized to the organization. 



Results in a governed program with a charter, defined owners, and a roadmap. 

Scale

Diagnose

Scale

 Full program activation for organizations with greater complexity, broader stakeholder environments, or broader cross-functional process alignment needs. 



Builds on BUILD deliverables with deeper PreSales process integration, asset portfolio governance, and a more comprehensive KPI framework. 

The gap is closeable. Let's talk.
