Listening intently to their challenges helps me offer solutions that feel personalized and impactful. Communication: Whether it’s breaking down a technical concept for a non-technical audience or delivering a pitch to stakeholders, clear communication builds trust—and I make that a priority. Collaboration: I thrive in a team environment. From aligning with sales teams to partnering with product managers, I’m always looking for ways to work together to exceed expectations.

Adaptability: The sales engineering world moves fast, and I love keeping up. From mastering new technologies to adjusting strategies on the fly, I embrace change as an opportunity to grow. For me, sales engineering is about more than products—it’s about people. It’s about listening, problem-solving, and delivering value in ways that leave a lasting impact. I’m excited to bring these skills to a team that values both technical know-how and the human side of engineering. #SalesEngineering #SoftSkillsMatter #CustomerFocus #ProblemSolver

"You won't break the rules of Sales Engineering. There aren't any." Have you heard of those who join Sales Engineering later in their careers? They have staged gigs in Development, Professional Services, as Architects, or have been industry experts in big corporations. And then they join your team.  Your eyes widen when you see them work. Some colleagues shake their heads. Those new professionals do things differently. Not by the playbook.   Their discovery questions seem strange, but they are based on lateral thinking and experience and ring a different tone than the company's list. They give a demo at minute one in a prospecting call. A sin, you think. Where is the preparation? They do desk research and present an engagement plan to prospects. They lead the prospect, offer alternative paths forward. They reject running traditional PoCs.  Instead, the prospect has to implement the solution based on a real business case (no technical success criteria, no artificial, in some distant future, we-will-need-this-feature use cases). But still, they are successful.  Massively so. The Sales Engineer's success is born in their ability to differentiate. Decouple your value from the amount of knowledge you acquired! Knowledge is only part of the story. Your prospect doesn't purchase a tool from your company. They purchase it from you because they trust you and can't get you out of their mind. You are the differentiator. You are a Sales Engineer. There are no techniques, just heuristics. If it works, it's correct. Sales is chaos. Embrace it. #salesengineering #presales #provocativepointofview #pointofview #b2bsales
