Technical Sales & Sales Engineer Training - How To Get Your Technical Sales Engineer DREAM JOB

Struggling to land your DREAM JOB in technical sales and make it the fulfilling career you’ve always wanted? In this episode, we’re going to cover the main areas of focus and questions to ask yourself to make it in the industry: How to Get Your Technical Sales Engineer Dream Job Reflect on Your Current Role Look at it from all angles; how much have you gotten out of your position in the last several years? Measure your progress over time and see if you’re on track to your income goal. There’s no wrong time to make a change, whether it be to a competitor or a different industry. The crucial question to ask yourself is this - “is this position that is going to get me to my goals?” Assess Your Current Compensation What is your realistic expectation for base pay with your experience and in your area? Do you have a revenue-based commission? Don’t let your commission plan get too complicated; even something as simple as 2% commission on revenue can compound over time. You should be paid for the money you convinced the customer to spend. What will eventually drive you to your goal is a revenue-based commission plan that allows you to be rewarded, boost your confidence, and go the extra mile for your employer and client. Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile Use the same techniques to sell yourself, instead of just your company. Customize your profile headline to a relevant hook, for example, “Providing Corrugated Solutions to Medical and Aerospace Companies Throughout the US.” Itemize and highlight your career growth to spark interest. Having potential employers and clients coming to you instead of you searching for them is the ideal state. Build Your LinkedIn Network Identify and seek out your ideal employers from your target industry, and connect with the right people there such as CEOs, owners, VPs, sales, and marketing employees. Look at their circle of influence. Get to the point where your skills and connections are opening up opportunities - remember instead of selling your service, you are selling yourself. Explore LinkedIn Jobs If your LinkedIn profile is optimized, it will serve as your comprehensive resume. “Easy Apply” on some positions is a massive time saver - take advantage of it! On LinkedIn, employers are already looking for you while you are looking for them. If you’re engaging, networking, and sharing on the platform consistently, you will stand out to potential employers. Directly Message and Engage Don’t be afraid to connect with and directly message the CEOs, VPs, and anyone at the top of the company. Be strategic, don’t be engaging coldly without already having built out a persona and providing content of value. Remember the circles of influence. #salesengineerjob #howtogetasalesengineerjob #salesengineer __________ Subscribe For More Video Content : https://www.youtube.com/kylemilan Awesome Playlists : Content Marketing & Social Media : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdmOG7sUsCQzCW9lipIVtEtGJUn-mliFT Sales : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdmOG7sUsCQyeRMYZVnHKbeYT7fjeGhvN MFG Tribe TV : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdmOG7sUsCQxpP555FrTQaYpzlkeaqp0j __________ Say Hi on Social: LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylemilan/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/kylejmilan Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/KyleJMilan/ __________ Connect For Business: MFG Tribe: https://mfgtribe.com MFG Tribe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mfgtribe/ Technical Sales University: https://training.technicalsalesu.com/enroll Tech Sales U on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/techsalesu/
