Is this why some orgs have "sales engineers?" People who can pick up the nuances of a client's question whether a company can actually do feature X?

- karmakaze 4y agoI got in 'trouble' a few times by giving alpha copies of a product in development to the sales engineers and when the customer saw particular new features wanted them and not any version without it. The trouble was caused when these events happened around release dates which back in the day of golden-mastered shrink-wrap software was a big deal to get right. Unfortunately as soon as the golden-master was declared, I and other devs had the capacity and creativity to do something truly remarkable that wasn't on the roadmap for the past 2 quarters.
