While it's not easy, embracing discomfort is a surefire way to grow. The BEST sales professionals are continually pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones, like Chris.

From a wanna-be firefighter paramedic to an aspiring accountant, Chris had overseen multiple careers before pursuing the sales route. Starting his journey as a technical support trainer in the corporate world, he has now amassed considerable experience in the sales engineering industry, having worked with big corporates and start-ups alike.

The key to such an enthusiastic career, he believes, is the zest to continually learn and improve – and exploring spaces beyond his zone of genius. 

Chris joins us in this episode of the Elite Level Podcast to talk about all things sales engineering – what it is, what makes an exceptional sales engineer, how people make their way into the career, and the traits of extraordinary sales engineers. He also dives into the lessons + tips he wishes he knew when starting out, including the importance of keeping your ego aside, staying humble, and knowing when to speak and when not to speak.

Top-tier sales engineers, in his opinion, are people who drive business value in addition to being technically sound. They can communicate well with the stakeholders involved and lead a customer from dissatisfaction to satisfaction by charting out their needs exceptionally well.

To become an elite sales engineer, surround yourself with people better than you and choose discomfort. Explore spaces beyond your present comfort level, and you'll see your learning levels sky-rocket.

Take a step forward to your dream sales career with Alex and Chris in this episode of the Elite Level Podcast.
