Shadowing Practice: Technical Sales Engineer Personality - Learn English Speaking with Video

personality type now i'm not going to sit here and say you have to be the most outgoing person in the room and rob ross sales and love selling and doing all that stuff and just everybody loves you and you're the loudest and you touch people the most when you talk to them you use your hands like i do

you do not have to be like that but your personality you cannot be quiet and you have to be willing to get in uncomfortable situations now a lot of technical sales people have an engineering

degree or are engineering minded now just um just going out there and saying a majority of engineers are somewhat quiet and reserved that will not work in sales you don't need to be the

quiet and reserved person now you don't have to be outspoken and loud and in your face

but you do have to be able to be confident when you're nervous you have to be able to push through that remain confident be willing to get that experience you have to be outgoing to the point where you're gonna you're basically talking to people every day whether it's on the phone

video conference call or in person you need to be able to talk if you hate talking on the phone if you hate talking to people this is not the job for you most likely that's not the case because otherwise you wouldn't want to get into sales it's not all about money while sales people do

typically make the most money in an organization and it's the highest paying department it's about being able to communicate clearly with people and not feeling uncomfortable when doing so because

if you're uncomfortable you're not going to enjoy it and if you don't enjoy you're not going to last a long time and when you wake up in the morning you're not going to be like let's go let's pound some pavement and knock on doors and i really want to push push push and try and get these sales done

and super motivated and you're going to send those emails and make those cold calls on stuff you're not going to want to you're just going to be like another day doing this i absolutely hate it so the personality it does matter it's not a huge thing to overcome as long as you're willing

to work through those insecurities or work through rejection then that's all that you need but if you hate talking to people if you hate talking on the phone this isn't going to be the right job for you

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
