if you are sales or marketer in a technical field with strong technical background (technical education) , will you move to another non-technical sales/marketing job , using your pure sales and marketing experience?
Yes, I am doing it right now, I am an engineer who is developing a business in overseas transportation in Latin America, Sales techniques are usable in every line of work, but you have to adjust to the market
Some times yeas and some times no,
Yeas when we need a job,
No when we hade a job.
If it is higher position yes
No if it is a horizontal shift within he same organisation without any advantage like a key account or bigger sales volume
Sales with technical back ground are generally paid more. Do a long term planning and do not get carried on short term benefits.
why not?
Yes, it would be challenging to gain some experience in the FMCG sector, for instance, for someone who has gained enough experience in the services or solutions industry. If it is tangibly or intangibly rewarding, why not?
It is a specialty to sell B2B enterprise solutions/software, but it is another “craft” to effectively sell other products. Life is learning experience! It does, however, require a fairly generalist attitude/talent/training to do so.
Yes possible because sucess kills creativity in a daily routine works sometimes not always, non-techinical work one can be successful with experience.
The shape is not everything.There are many things we should considerate it in person.
