Be an engineer first and a sales person second. Be your own critic, know your product inside out, even its flaws and acknowledge them when someone points to them. Show them you are willing to learn, because a long term equation is built on mutual trust.

2 Seek feedback and guidance

The second step to staying ahead of the curve is to seek feedback and guidance from others who can help you achieve your learning goals. This can include your peers, managers, mentors, coaches, trainers, or experts in your field. You can ask them for advice, recommendations, insights, or resources that can help you learn more effectively and efficiently. You can also ask them for constructive criticism, praise, or suggestions on how to improve your performance and skills. By seeking feedback and guidance, you can learn from the experience and expertise of others and avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.

Methodology of feedback is important here. Just a random survey won't help you. Talk to the people that you couldn't sell to, understand why. Talk to people who may never buy from you or your company, in addition to insight you may even gain a friend in the industry.

3 Experiment and practice

The third step to staying ahead of the curve is to experiment and practice with new technologies and processes that you want to learn or improve. You can do this by creating your own projects, scenarios, or challenges that allow you to apply what you have learned in a realistic and relevant context. You can also do this by participating in online courses, webinars, workshops, hackathons, or other learning events that offer hands-on opportunities to learn and practice new skills and tools. By experimenting and practicing, you can test your assumptions, discover new possibilities, and refine your techniques and approaches.

Sales Engineers can stay ahead by always learning about new technologies and trends. They can attend workshops, online events, and industry conferences to discover new tools and ways of working. Working closely with R&D teams or tech experts within their company also helps to understand what's coming next. They can also spend time studying on their own, using online resources and talking to others in the same field. By keeping up with all these changes, Sales Engineers can show customers the latest solutions and explain why these new technologies matter, keeping up in the fast-changing sales world.

4 Share and teach

The fourth step to staying ahead of the curve is to share and teach what you have learned with others who can benefit from your knowledge and skills. You can do this by creating content, such as blog posts, podcasts, videos, or presentations, that showcase your expertise and insights on new technologies and processes. You can also do this by mentoring, coaching, or training others who want to learn or improve their skills and knowledge in your field. By sharing and teaching, you can reinforce your learning, expand your network, and demonstrate your value and credibility.

Oh yes, teaching is the best learning, so always impart your knowledge with the ability to take criticism. Sales is not an objective but a process, each step involves understanding and ability to adjust. Think of it like driving an F1 car, your team is in your ear, your opponents are not always visible and you have to rely on both information given to you and what you see and feel.

You can do this by evaluating your progress and results against your learning goals and expectations. You can also do this by identifying your strengths and weaknesses, your successes and failures, your challenges and opportunities, and your lessons learned and best practices. By reviewing and reflecting, you can celebrate your achievements, acknowledge your gaps, and plan your next steps and actions.
