What Does a Sales Engineer Do?
A sales engineer (or pre-sales consultant) partners with account executives on technical deals — running demos, answering architecture questions, scoping integrations and handling proofs of concept. They make the product credible to a technical buyer.
Demos and technical calls happen over video, so the role adapted fully to remote selling and pays well thanks to its rare mix of technical and commercial skill.
Key skills
- Technical product knowledge
- Demos & presentations
- Solution scoping
- Objection handling
- APIs & integrations
- Working with sales teams
