Sales engineers sell a variety of complex scientific and technological products or services to businesses— including the latest information technology systems… manufacturing equipment… and scientific instruments, among others.
2
Like most salespeople, sales engineers try to interest clients in their products or services, negotiate prices, and complete sales.
3
But as trained engineers or scientists, they also have extensive technical knowledge of the products’ parts and functions and understand the scientific processes behind their products.
4
Sales engineers give technical presentations where they describe the benefits and competitive edge of their products, and explain how their product will solve a customer’s problem.
5
They may also work with clients to modify or customize a product to their needs.
6
Some work for the manufacturer of a product… while others work for independent sales firms.
7
Most sales engineers travel… whether locally within a small region… for weeks at a time across several states… or even internationally.
8
The job can be stressful since income and job security often depend directly on successful deals.
9
Engineers typically work full time and many work over 40 hours a week to meet client needs and achieve sales goals.
10
Sales engineers typically need a bachelor’s degree in engineering, though a science or business degree and technical knowledge may suffice.

For some positions, sales experience along with technical experience or training may be sufficient.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
