    What Does a Great Solution Engineer Look Like?

    I’m always asked, “What does a great SE look like?” The problem is there isn’t one way to SE. Great SEs look like. The role is complex, and people do it differently.  So, let’s delve into the role's complexity and break it down through an evaluation form I created. I cover various aspects such as working with account managers, discovery, demos, proof of value, and technical know-how. I also emphasize the importance of customer relations and leadership skills. Finally, I have some news…   show notes: https://wethesalesengineers.com/show324

    Promote Yourself to The CEO of Your Life and Career

    Many of us let our careers happen to us. Imagine if a CEO of a company just LET whatever happens to his or her company happen. They would be fired immediately from their role. But we can go through our lives and careers without being intentional in how we want to live our lives.    Instead, if we look at our lives like a startup and we are the CEOs, we can then look at our salary as revenue, our skills as the products that we provide, and our time as the service, then we can look differently at our lives. We can make decisions on what to improve and how.

    Top 10 SE Mistakes that Drive AEs Crazy

    So I’ve been in sales for a while. A few years now, and I’ve worked with several SE either as a sales person, a mentor, or a coach. And we love to joke around and talk crap about salespeople. I mentioned this before but on my first week on the job, I traveled to a quarterly training for both SEs and Sales. We had a common training session (marketing slides) and when that session was over and we were about to split up, my manager (SE manager) stood up and said “SEs stay here, those who have a lobotomy go to the other room.” That’s how I was introduced to sales. It was a joke, and everyone laughed, but since then I knew I could make fun of salespeople because they do things that drive us crazy.  On the other hand, since I’ve been in sales there are things that SEs do that also drive me personally nuts. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen things that have made me so angry, I can see why AEs don’t want to bring SEs into meetings. Here are 12 things SEs do that drive salespeople crazy.
