For example, early on in my career, after figuring out what the sales cycle is ( a year and a half into my career) I decided that SEs have no part of the qualification process. As I worked with different salespeople, saw their strengths and weaknesses, and talked to different SEs, my thoughts about the qualification of a deal as a Sales Engineer has changed.

I love books, but you cannot ask a question when reading a book, at least not to the author. That\u2019s why I love podcasts. I get to ask questions. A good podcaster asks not only the questions they want to ask but what the audience wants to be asked as well. But it\u2019s impossible to do that for all the questions. That\u2019s why, in addition to reading, listening to podcasts and other sources, you need to form your community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2- The community cannot be of people who all think alike either. That way, we will limit what we can learn. It has to be people who think differently than you.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3- Keeping an open mind is a very important aspect of learning. Knowing that you might be wrong and someone else might be right is hard on the ego, but needed in order to grow and get better.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4- Another aspect of learning is thinking. We can learn all we want, if we don\u2019t take time to think about it, it will never sink in. So we need to have some form of scheduled time to think about it. I like writing these 4\/1\/1s and youtube videos because it gives me a chance to think about what I\u2019m learning, and then offer it to you in hopefully the clearest manner possible.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h2 style=\"font-size: 25px;\">1 Tool:<\/h2><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Proper Mic<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BrWeXB\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Audio Technical 2100<\/span> <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(affiliate link) for a long time during the podcast or even customer meetings, and it would work for many people. It plugs straight into the computer and you\u2019re good to go. I have since purchased the Rode Wireless Mic because I like to move around on calls, but that is more of an overkill.
