ABOUT THE TRUSTED ADVISOR SALES ENGINEER
Sales and Pre Sales Engineering leaders worldwide have used the Trusted Advisor label hundreds of times over the past fifteen years. Yet it really doesn’t mean that much without a lot of explanation. You may be thinking about some of these questions right now. Becoming a Trusted Advisor is not as simple as it sounds, which is why so many organizations either never try or make a half-hearted effort. Trusted Advisor – two words, five syllables, and fifteen letters hide a massive complexity. For the first time, there is now a book specifically designed to start the individual Sales Engineer on the journey to becoming a Trusted Advisor.
Section One covers how to define and measure trust with your clients.
Section Two looks at the practical aspects of building trust through Discovery, Presentations, Demos, and all the other standard activities of a Sales Engineer.
Section Three examines how to get started and put it into practice for individuals and SE teams.
This book is not one of those tiny 40-page eBooks. Instead, it’s over 150 pages and 45,000 words of thoughts, ideas, best practices, and real life examples based on dozens of clients and thousands of students who have already taken the Trusted Advisor Sales Engineer workshop.
