They were the allies that enabled Andrew to change the presales process in his organization. Why? Because it&#8217;s better for them.\u00a0<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>2- I&#8217;ve never seen a salesperson go against their personal interest. If we can show them that it&#8217;s their best interest to get us involved early, allow us to join the discovery call, help them get to no faster, or even yes, they will take your advisement under consideration.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>3- Meeting people is one of the most important activities that you can do. Whether it&#8217;s in a business setting or a fun setting. I found my first job post university after 4 months of job search at a barbeque. Right now there are so many ways to meet people, but it&#8217;s getting harder to build real connections and relationships. So the focus should be on quality of connections vs the quantity.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>4- One of the SEs Andrew hired was a bartender. Goes to show that you don&#8217;t have to be one type of person with one set of experience (technical usually) to be a great SE.
