I’m envious of the people who got into sales at a young age. Although I’m top of the leaderboard, I’m an entire decade behind in stacking commission checks, RSUs and ESPP. If you’re young, keep going or jump in now. Don’t wait or wonder what else is out there.
An underrated skill as a sales engineer is shedding technical detail from opp to opp. If you cling to intense & unique technical minutia you’ll invent problems that don’t exist in new opps. Don’t solve problems that don’t exist.
The biggest breakthrough AI will bring is the reflection on consciousness. Working as a sales engineer at an AI company has made me reflect on MY limitations in engineering speed & accuracy while developing relationships with people who’s job function my tool replaces.
Hyper localized sales teams will have a leg up in sales. Being able to stop in on a prospect will go a long way in commoditized sales strategy forced by sales ops AI. Every sales org will look for an edge and that’s where it’ll lie.
Lost a deal last week because the prospect asked a LLM to compare a large legacy competitor to our solution. We were on the wrong side of the prompts. Winds are changing in tech evals and I’m now experimenting with prompts attached to success criteria.
In poker, the bubble is the tense moment just before the payout threshold, where players tighten up, avoiding risk to secure a spot in the money. If you go the reverse, by instead playing looser you can set yourself up for a better post bubble position.

Had the urge to switch to the AE side, so instead I convinced my stay at home wife to take the plunge into an SDR role. Actively interviewing now and round two with a F500. I get to coach her and scratch the itch of AE. Don’t have to go down market and get a 80k pay bump.
If you want help non-technical prospects understand your product- coach youth sports. You will repeat things five times, demo and offer incentives for correct form. Yet, players will screw it up or misunderstand your point until one day they get it.
SE team numbers are a complete sham. Team numbers mask poor performance and discourage SEs from actively driving pipeline.
🤡: “but SEs don’t drive pipeline”
🐉: take your SE to partner and marketing events. Divide the room into tech prospects (wall flowers) and economic buyers…
Good looking = good pipeline
Good personality = good at selling/pitching
Smart = good qualification
Need two of the three for perennial club. All three and you’re a top 1% seller. Pair up the good looking girl with a good SE and that girl will cook.

Number one pet peeve of mine working with younger AEs is talking about their dog. Nobody cares, your dog sucks, prospects have kids and your dog story isn’t cute. Just talk about the weather.
Every new FY I to reflect on the future.
Do I still like selling? Yes
Do I like what I’m selling? Cyber gives me purpose
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Owner of an MSP
How do you get there? Good exit, partner relationships, find automation/AI focused products
Sales alpha for qualifying prospects. If a person can’t describe what they do in 30 seconds then it’s a bs job.
Start wide, narrow down, expand on impact.

Waste is higher. Spending down budgets in August and September are at least 10%. Furiously spent down money so the funds wouldn’t get reallocated and our budget wouldn’t decrease the next year. There should be a bonus on running a surplus for gov employees.

As a Sales Engineer with 11 years in the trenches in IT/Cyber, this is gold. Age of LLMs and notetaker blabbing garbage has made this worse. Shorten the email, bullet points are great and a BLUF statement at the top will get reads on mobile/reading panes scrolls.

FY25 officially in the books. Ended 171% for the half, 126% for the year. 2/3 of my AEs auto qualified for club, everyone over 100% attainment for the year. Monster year.
