Sales Engineer

A Sales Engineer sells specialised products or services for a business or organisation. You’ll usually focus on a particular type of product, often a technologically specific item. Sales Engineers might provide information to potential customers, provide quotes and organise payment and delivery. You might liaise with current and former customers or develop relationships with potential new clients.

Sales Engineers should have strong technical knowledge and be able to communicate confidently with customers from a range of backgrounds. It’s important that you are organised and can manage the needs of several clients at one time. Sales Engineers should be able to manage their time well and prioritise tasks when necessary.
