Sales Talk with Francois Bourdeau
Francois Bourdeau has been working in the technology industry since 1999. In 2008, he made the transition to technical pre-sales and, after three years, moved into a pure sales role. In 2020 he and three other sales professionals started 5onFriday, a place for sales professionals to practice their pitch and receive feedback from other sales professionals.

They are employed by establishments that produce or provide technical goods and services, such as pharmaceutical companies, industrial equipment manufacturing companies, grain elevators, computer services firms, engineering firms and hydroelectric companies, or they may be self-employed technical sales specialists/agents who contract their services to other companies. Technical sales specialists who are supervisors are included in this unit group.
