  <title>Visual CPQ &amp;amp; The Future of 3D Product Configuration with Erik Pilgrim</title>
  <description>In this episode, Frank Sohn sits down with&amp;amp;nbsp;Erik Pilgrim, Founder and CEO of&amp;amp;nbsp;RenderDraw, to explore how 3D visualization is transforming the complex world of CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote). Erik shares his journey from leading pre-sales and product teams in the SAP and Salesforce ecosystems to founding RenderDraw just as the world changed in early 2020. We dive deep into how RenderDraw acts as a powerful visualization and interaction layer for some of the world’s largest manufacturers and high-tech companies. They discuss:   The &amp;quot;Visual Gap&amp;quot; in CPQ:&amp;amp;nbsp;Why standard configurations often fall short for heavy industrial manufacturing and complex CAD-heavy assemblies.   Platform Agnosticism:&amp;amp;nbsp;While heavily rooted in the&amp;amp;nbsp;Salesforce&amp;amp;nbsp;ecosystem (including integrations with&amp;amp;nbsp;Agentforce), Erik explains how the market is shifting toward a CPQ-agnostic approach, with RenderDraw now supporting&amp;amp;nbsp;ServiceNow (Logik.ai)&amp;amp;nbsp;and&amp;amp;nbsp;Conga.   The Manufacturing Lifecycle:&amp;amp;nbsp;Moving beyond the quote to explore product discovery, digital twins, and spare parts reordering.   The AI Revolution:&amp;amp;nbsp;An inside look at&amp;amp;nbsp;Journeys, RenderDraw’s new standalone 3D + AI application designed for both humans and AI agents.   Implementation Realities:&amp;amp;nbsp;Why a &amp;quot;one-day setup&amp;quot; is a myth for enterprises, and how to build a visual solution that a standard Salesforce Admin can maintain.   Whether you are a Mid-Market leader or an Enterprise architect in industrial manufacturing or data centers, this episode provides a roadmap for leveraging spatial reasoning to close deals faster and improve the post-purchase experience.  🔗&amp;amp;nbsp;Learn more about RenderDraw at&amp;amp;nbsp;https://renderdraw.com/&amp;amp;nbsp;  📬&amp;amp;nbsp;Contact Erik&amp;amp;nbsp;on LinkedIn at&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikpilgrim/&amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
