4 Random Thoughts, 1 Tool, and 1 Quote
Some people fall into sales engineers. Others are helped into the role and some struggle for years knowing that the Sales Engineering role is the only role they want.
I fell into the role, Gareth Jones, this week’s podcast guest, was helped into the role, but still, we had to work hard to do the job that doesn’t really have a manual.
If you want to hear my conversation with Gareth, check it out here.
If you are looking to get a job, you should check out some of the tips I offer in my latest YouTube video.
Let’s dig into this a bit with the 4/1/1
4 Random Thoughts From Me:
1- If you’re looking to transition into any role, check if you’re current industry or company can support you with that. For example, the British Military Service Supported Gareth by providing him with a placement to get into Sales Engineering.
2- As Sales Engineers, our job is not to know every answer, but to know where to get answers to every question.
3- The best time to grow your network is now, whether you need it or not.
4- A resume does not get you a job, your connections will.
1 Tool:
It’s a 2-for-1 Special today as I know some are looking for jobs:
1- SENY Meetup with Chris White this March! – Great place to dig your well.
1 Quote:
“Dig the well before you are thirsty.” – Don’t know who. Probably someone much smarter than me.
