Graduates and experienced IT professionals who want to mix their sales and technical backgrounds should learn more about sales engineer positions. Sales engineers, often called technical sales support workers, sell computer hardware, software, and services to end users of all sizes. Professionals who work as sales engineers first show potential clients how their company’s products and services are better or different from competing companies. While sales techniques are important toward selling products like computers and networking equipment, technical demonstrations are key to closing the deal. Sales engineers set up models or sample copies of their product, demonstrate the product’s usage to clients, and answer questions about technical issues.
Sales engineer positions are plentiful in the United Kingdom and Europe. While there are many positions for IT professionals to apply for, there is also increased competition and higher hiring standards for sales engineers. More and more UK and European graduates are coupling their interest in sales and technology, leaving universities for sales engineer positions throughout the continent. As well, companies are beginning to realize that it takes a special talent to function well as a sales engineer.
