Cyrus can you get an SE job taking the tech sales course with coursecareers or must use careerists program?
Are their any financial plans for careerist 4900 is pretty steep for me.
I'm a sales engineer and I actually have to sell. I do the demonstrations and I also have to close deals. Basically selling + tech demos
That's a powerful combination!
What company do you work for?sounds up my alley!
@@anthonyspencer6281 Johnson Controls!
@@anthonyspencer6281 I work for Johnson Controls! Under the York brand
This is not the full description of the role. The demonstration part is a very small aspect of being an SE . I'm currently a Sales Engineer and yes we do conduct demonstrations but you also have to do tons of testing on new products software, and firmwares, collaborating with Developers and designers weekly, clean and modify data, writing code when needed, and way more.
Absolutely, being a Sales Engineer involves a wide range of responsibilities beyond just demonstrations. It's a multifaceted role that requires technical expertise, collaboration, and continuous learning. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Hey ken, what is the path to becoming a sales engineer? I’m currently a junior studying industrial and systems engineering and would like to branch in to sales engineering. What’s advice could you give so I can develop my expertise, knowledge,and skills for sales engineering
They got you doing solutions architect work for free 💀
Sales Engineers also develop customized proof of concepts for these demos. This requires discovery, listening skills and the ability to be a good storyteller.
Absolutely, Sales Engineers play a crucial role in showcasing the value through customized proof of concepts.
A sales engineer is such a complex position. These guys are making it seem like it's a walk in the park. SE typically work 60-70 hours a week and are traveling alot. Very stressful on homelife and your work is never done. The money is great but to get to this position requires years of expertise in the field you're in along with business sense and people skills. This far from easy but can be very rewarding financially. Most sales engineers are single btw.
Are you a sales engineer I’m genuinely asking in highscool and I either want to be a sales engineer or get into cyber security.In multiple of his videos Cyrus the guy that you are critiquing sates that he works form home ,and that the company is lenient with his work hours ,and more benefits.My question is have you been a sales engineer cause your talking like you have experience.
@@nathankalonji1898 I was but switched to being a design engineer because I didn't like the lifestyle of a sales engineer. I'd much rather design the product than be the face of the company and have to sell it. If you get your master's degree and get into engineering management you can make between $120k-$140k a year and have a much more relaxed work schedule.
@@chad1234nesswhat is a design engineer? And engineering management?
After watching this, I went to the actual Boot Camp. Based on my credit, it would cost 899 out-of-pocket before I can pursue the Boot Camp. I am extremely interested, but now I am looking deeper into it based on the comments here. I am also in a 4 month relationship. Do you think it would work if I chose this line of career? Or would my person leave due to the work load?
A design engineer does exactly what's in the title. Help maintain and push forward the design process of the product that the company is creating.
Love the Energy! I Want to get in Tech Sales!
That's fantastic! Tech sales can be an exciting and rewarding career choice. Embrace the journey and go for it! Best of luck on your path to tech sales!
Bro you’re spreading half truths. Being an SE is more complex than this. At an enterprise company this is a small percentage of the job. The technical validation is extremely important and often encompass more than an entry level experience. I love what your overall intention of introducing tech to minorities but let’s not sell a false reality in exchange of you selling more courses.
Yes you can make 6 figures but it’s going to take more than a discovery call demo. After a demo, most complex sales cycles will have a POV (proof of value) or POC (proof of concept). That process alone is where you make your money and it’s a rigorous and longer process. You have to validate technical value according to their requirements.
Yeah and not to mention those demos can be highly stressful lol at least at my company, our SE was giving demos to high level execs (CIOs, CTOs and even CEOs at times) so you can’t just bullshit your way through it. I’ve lost plenty of deals on SEs who really don’t know anything beyond the product and weren’t able to answer questions outside of the HIGHLY scripted demo. Ideally you want to put in more leg work to ensure your general knowledge base is solid beyond just the product.
The interviewer is simplfying it too much in my opinion. A boot camp is great but its really hit or miss. To those thinking they can just shortcut into the tech industry with just bootcamp, dont be fooled. Many recruiters will see bootcamp as just a course, a boot camp is at your own pace and youre not under pressure to deliver like you would be at an internship, etc. I am very proud of this guy but i see too many videos that promote boot camps being the way into tech. Its a small percentage of people that actually make it into tech via bootcamp. Internships are still your best bet, practical work experience.
What technical skills should a aspiring SE have ?
@@jay2004rforget technical skills. Anyone with half a brain can get a Bachelors degree and learn technical skills quickly at your entry level job
What you need is to understand human psychology, social dynamics, being self-aware, ability to read people and their body language, and ability to communicate your ideas clearly and ask questions
@@FreeDingus okay are you a sales engineer ? And any books you can recommend to learn what you just mentioned ?
Like Vanna White.
She merely stood there and turned the letters.
I got a feeling there's a bit more to it.
Best job ever! I love being an SE!!!
SE life is the best!
And this is why 'Engineer' should be a protected title !!!
Interesting point! Thanks for watching!
Best explanation! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Cyrus that was a dope interview that you did with AO. I’m currently taking the Tech Sales course with Course Careers. Excited to finished and get a job with a Tech Company.
Appreciate that! Good luck and keep me posted.
@@techisthenewblack I definitely will keep you posted
Same. Cyrus is the Goat. I knew he was special when he interviewed Glen Henry. 🙌🏾 Stand up guy and Baltimore representative❤ that’s Cyrus
@@chrisham9 did u get job in tech?

🙌🏽
i’m actually signing up tomorrow. just had a call with them today. love the process and idea of it all and was prior in sales and now in IT so i feel like i’d be a great fit. I just want to know some more ways to get the jump on everything before i’m a part of the community. would there be a way to get in contact wether via linkedin or something??
Hey! Part of community of the bootcamp? What boot camp did you get?
@@techisthenewblack Community of sales engineers & going with careerist. i like the offer a lot and now just standing by for the next group to go through
He's fine with his poppie eyes
Can I do a software development bootcamp with QuickStart in hopes of going the SE route? Can someone please help me
Hey! I recommend Careerist it has 4-10 week courses like Sales Engineer & Manual QA Tester (avg job pays 85k - 115k). It’s virtual & 8pm - 1030pm Sun-Thur ET. They are not partnered with tech companies, but they fix your resume to industry standard & your LinkedIn. They also do interview coaching & provide really good interview cheat sheets.
I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too! North Americans only. Use this specific link to get the discount.

How is the job security as a sales engineer?
Hey! I answered that question in one of my FAQS Playlists.
Is there an online course or training to be a sales engineer if the person doesn't have a tech background.
Hey, so for myself and many friends of mine, the boot camp was all we needed. I don’t have any college experience or a degree. These boot camps give you the training, education, and help that you need. So a TECH SPECIFIC DEGREE CAN HELP, but it is unnecessary. As long as you do your part and the better you do your part, the faster they can help you break into tech.
I’ll send you 4 options that I generally recommend. It’s up to you to decide which is best for your goals and budget.
1. CourseCareers is self-paced. You can finish it in 3 weeks - 3 months. They offer tech sales roles with an avg entry salary of $65k - $95k. They are partnered with tech companies, so they’re able to help you get interviews with companies looking to hire their graduates. They also have paid internships (up to $21/hr) while you wait to get hired. They only offer courses for people in Canada & USA. They’re just $449 WITH MY DISCOUNT CODE: Cyrus50
Here's the link (direct.me/imjustcyrus)
2. Careerist has a variety of 4-10 week courses (avg job starts at 85k - 115k). It’s virtual & 8 pm - 10:30 pm Sun-Thur ET. They are not partnered with tech companies, but they fix your resume to industry standard, your LinkedIn and they assist you with finding the right tech companies to apply for interviews. They also do interview coaching & provide interview cheat sheets.
They’re $4,200, but I have a $300 discount link that you use with their sales too!
Here's the link (direct.me/imjustcyrus)
3. We've partnered with the best Cybersecurity program that’s been recommended by our community. It’s only $997 but use our discount code: Cyrus100 for $100 off!

Thanks for watching!
Big no . This guy is a rookie
Presales - product demo + Showcasing value proposition + Running POC + managing customer relationships + upsell crossell with current customers + Be a customer success by solving tech issues for customer post sales for KEY Customers along with partners... help on lead generation with events..
Thanks for the insights! Presales sounds like a dynamic role, covering everything from demos to customer success. Appreciate your expertise!
This guy is describing a demo dolly. If all you're doing is demoing, then why not just record a video and the sales guy play it?
Good point! A demo dolly might not be necessary for every situation. Recording a video could indeed be a more efficient way to showcase demos. It depends on the context and goals of the presentation.
Not for me
No problem, everyone has their preferences!
Whoa wrong. Technical and real life experience engineers the sale while the relationship is owned by the sales account owner.
You make a valid point about the sales process! It's a team effort.
They should not be called engineers but just sales representative😅 . I am an actual engineer who has designed systems and this is just offensive
I understand your perspective, but the term "Sales Engineer" refers to a specific role in tech sales that involves technical knowledge. It's not meant to diminish the work of traditional engineers, but rather highlight the unique skills needed in sales. Different fields have different job titles to specify distinct roles.
Sheer ignorance don't fall for this.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Lol “engineer” cringe. You’re a demo guy.
Lol I didn’t come up with the title buddy. If you go on LinkedIn and try to look up this position, you will find it under “Sales/Solutions Engineer.” I couldn’t care less what the title is, but at the end of the day…I make more than you do 🤷🏾♂️
@@techisthenewblack what the fuck is this response man? Lamest shit I’ve ever heard “I make more than you”
I’ve known product owners who do this during the demo call, not sure every company is gonna have a sales engineer.
You're right, not every company has sales engineers, but it's valuable when they do!
