This is so different than the way other people have explained sales engineer. Careerist and course careers make this career path seem so easy. I was looking to switch to this career path and although I'm a outgoing person and extroverted this seems like a lot more than I was told. Thanks for the info

I am also a tech sales guy. From my experience, I think key things are to understand your solution, clients view and industry. Those are foundamental to be a pro in tech sales. Additionally, a sharp mind to make a customized solution which balance client requirements and quotation meanwhile beat ur competitors badly on the ground. Lastly, the sounded skill on presentation including preparing a convincing document and brainwashing audience with your highlights and glamour. Anyway, comprehensive knowledge, competition belief and presentation skills are keys to be a pro in tech sales.
@KyleMilan3 жыл бұрын
Christopher - Thanks for the comment! The only think I would disagree with is the "brainwashing your audience with your highlights and glamour", I think people focus on that too much. Highlighting accomplishments is one thing, but I always recommend to do in context of the conversation.

Khaled - That's great that you're a natural. Do you have a high technical aptitude? Do you enjoy talking about technical things? There are 1K's of sales jobs you can get outside of Technical Sales, but if you know you want to be in a technical role then focus on an industry that you have a passion for and start to learn the technical side. I don't have an engineering degree and was able to make a significant career out of technical sales...I hope that gives you hope!

I have tried applying for sales jobs before. I noticed they always have this catch phase, "You can make up to X amount" and it's always a decent salary listed to draw people in. You go to the interview and it's either commission only so you aren't even guaranteed a paycheck or the hourly rate is so low you couldn't possibly live on it, support a family, or buy a house. Commission is icing on the cake and you can't rely on it because it is never consistent. If you have no cake (decent guaranteed salary) then the icing (commission is worthless). I have had interviews where my hourly rate would be 12 an hour and you can't live on that. They say if you meet your weekly goals, your monthly goals, and the office as a whole meets their goals too then you can make the living wage (60k to 100k) is usually the amount they say. They always focus on goals and commission and frown upon you asking too many question about the hourly rate. The amount you have to sell to make the decent livable wage is so hard to get to that in many cases it's unobtainable. I almost laughed when the interviewer told me I could make up to 80k if the office as a whole meets it's goal. That means my pay is based on what someone else does too so if they do bad I suffer. That is insane!! What I would expect from any sales position is 60k to 70k guaranteed salary with bonuses based on how much I sell. That way the base salary is a good foundation since the commission can't be relied upon. The Commission is just extra if I do good on top of my base pay. This is why I gave up on applying for sales jobs because they are mostly scams where you stay poor and others get rich off your hard work. So, I went to college, got some IT Certs, and now I have a great salary, with benefits, medial, sick pay, vacation. Most importantly, it is guaranteed income every week that only ever goes up when I get a raise or my yearly Xmas bonus.
@KyleMilan3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment. I would personally never take a commission only tech sales jobs and agree that most of those are scams. HOWEVER, there are a lot of great opportunities that start you off with a salary in the first year 60K-70K and then reduce salary in the 2nd year because high commission takes over. I'm comfortable with that.

I appreciated the many ideas you shared in this video...you gave me a lot to think about and chew on. But I have to say that many of things you described sales engineers having to do, and the way that sales engineers have to be, gave the profession a real slimy feel. Having worked with endless, countless salesmen and sales engineers over the last 25 years I can tell you that the guy who cold calls me almost NEVER gets an audience with me, and the guy who "follows up" with me 8 or 10 times instead of taking the hint after 2 or 3 follow-ups is on my crap list. Many (maybe all) of the skills you described are surely going to contribute to a person's success as a sales engineer, but many of the things you said they should be willing to do, I would NEVER want to do...not because I'm not willing to or able to, but because I would never want to be viewed or thought of in that sleazy used car salesmen way. Just my two cents coming from the other side of the sales engineer perspective....25 years of being the customer.
@KyleMilan3 жыл бұрын
Steve - I appreciate the feedback and comment brother! And I 100% agree that there are a lot of people that have your mindset, while there are also a lot of people that need the consistent follow up. From a sales perspective, you don't know what the person prefers so you have to error on the side of still trying to follow up with them. Even though you along with probably 50% of the "other people" don't like cold calls...again, we have to always try and see who picks up. I appreciate the comment! I think most people would view your "preference" as one buyers perspective, it most likely is about 25% - 35% of what "buyers" would prefer as well...I just teach people to go after the majority and never give up until someone says "no thanks". There is no "getting hints", you need to wait for them to confirm they aren't interested because; - Maybe they are annoyed - Maybe they forgot to contact you back - Maybe they never received your message - Maybe they already responded but it never left their outbox Too many "maybes", always go with the stance that you don't know anything unless they tell you something. I appreciate it! KM

45-65K?? I was being enticed into the SE world as an Engineer with the understanding that SE's make in excess of 100k / year. It also looks like (according to Google) the average salary for an SE is around 75-90k where some companies (Splunk being one) pays over 100K. How realistic is that 45-65 figure?
@KyleMilan3 жыл бұрын
Karsen - It all depends on experience and the company size. There are plenty of smaller industrial companies that are paying in the 45K - 65K range when someone has ZERO sales experience. There are also companies that will start someone in the 65K - 80K range with ZERO experience. They key word you used is "average" salary for an SE, there are highs and lows. I would agree that as an overall average it can be 75K - 90K. BUT, as I said in my video...a 22-24 year old fresh out of school with an engineering degree WILL NOT usually make the "average" of 75K - 90K as their first sales job. If you have industry experience, that can definitely increase the starting base pay. Yes, I know plenty of SE's that make $150K - $350K per year, but that includes commission. I hope that answers your question, if not then let me know!! Thanks for the comment!

Hey Kyle, great video! Super helpful in my search for a tech sales job. I am 0% engineering and all around great sales person. I’m also 20yrs old and have a strong track record for at&t. I was a top 5 seller in the nation in our account manager position outside of retail recently and consistently have been a top seller in my region/market in my two years here. I am in talks with people in the tech industry and recruiters for companies like Cisco. My current tc is $120k, what do you think are my chances of notching above $70k salary per year being this young & no degree but consistent top seller w/ references? Thanks!!!

You sucked the moment you made this a personality deal, I feel sales is a skill anybody can try, it’s a bummer I couldn’t even watch the whole video after that first point.

Sorry for the disappointment Winston. Personality is one aspect of the machine. Sales IS a skill anyone can "TRY"...but to be great you have to be able to handle things over the long haul which is where certain personality traits pay off. That doesn't mean that you can't develop those traits, it will just take you a little longer. If you job is to deal with people and some rejection all day...but you don't like talking to people, why would you want to do sales?
