#87 Sales Engineering and Leadership

Sales Engineering is a weird role. You can get SE of the quarter today and be let go the next. But you can bounce back and become the Global Director of Sales Engineering at a direct competitor. So the conversation today covers a wide variety of topics. 

In this show we will discuss:

  • How Michael moved into a Sales Engineering role
  • What he learned about Salespeople after becoming an SE
  • Working with a lean team
  • How he became a Director
  • Challenges of a Director
  • Hiring and training SEs
  • Scaling an SE team
  • Attributes of a Great Sales Engineer
