1- SEs come from all walks of life. Musician, MMA Fighter, Engineer, Retail Sales and so many more career paths into Sales Engineering. The challenge is getting coached by the managers and teammates. So when you\u2019re interviewing for jobs, make sure that they will be available for you and they are invested in your success.<\/span><\/p>\u00a0<\/p>
2- L.O.L.A: Listen, Observe, Learn, Assess is a great way to go through life. Getting better every day through LOLA would set you up for success vs remaining stagnant.<\/span><\/p>\u00a0<\/p>
3- Derrek mentioned having a feedback culture. Sometimes we don\u2019t need someone to provide verbal feedback. Someone\u2019s reaction, attitude, body language all provide indirect feedback, and if we observe and assess. Then we can learn.<\/span><\/p>\u00a0<\/p>
4- Be the best you can be at what you do. Be irreplaceable and then show the world. This will give you the ability to have candid conversations with your managers without fear of being replaced.<\/span><\/p><\/div>
