Technical sales engineers provide clients with sales advice and support. They work on behalf of a range of industries including manufacturing, utilities and biomedical, providing technical knowledge to identify new business, negotiate contracts and review sales performance.
The role of technical sales engineers essentially involves translating and explaining highly complex technical information to customers and clients, focusing on revealing how a product or piece of equipment can solve specific problems. They therefore play an important role in the modern sales process. Technology has advanced in leaps and bounds in recent years, and continues to alter the ways we communicate and do business. But not everyone has the time or know-how to keep up with these advancements. The technical sales engineer is the person who stays abreast of the latest developments and breakthroughs, and who can pass this vital knowledge on to others.
Sometimes called systems engineers, pre-sales support, or field consultants, technical sales engineers act as the sales team's technical encyclopaedia during the sale of goods and services. They represent the technical aspects of the product and propose how these aspects can benefit the customer. Sales engineers must have a strong technical understanding of the complexities of what their company supplies together with excellent sales skills.
