  ABOUT THE  SALES ENGINEER MANAGER’S HANDBOOK

 

John Care and Chris Daly lay out the 3+1 rules of SE Leadership. A simple framework designed for everyone – from SEs thinking about moving into management to the newest of new SE Managers to a Global SE Vice President. This book is a fascinating blend of tactical and strategic advice based on 30+ years of experience and a dozen years of running SE-specific workshops. All designed to allow you to follow the 3+1 Rules: Develop And Serve Your People, Run Pre-Sales As A Business, and Serve Your Customers, all matched up with Rule #0, Manage Yourself.

It’s a familiar and often repeated story. You take a rock star Sales Engineer who is highly valued for their sales and business skills – and make them a manager because they are a great SE. With no regard for their possible leadership skills whatsoever. Perhaps they are pointed at a few online HR resources and take a mandatory “Managing Within The Law” session. Then they are released into the wild, and asked to manage, lead and motivate a team of Sales Engineers – each of whom performs the job differently than the newly minted manager used to do.
