Whether you have the title or not, every job you have will require you to sell-- your thoughts, your ideas, your designs. And, when you are coming from a position grounded firmly in technology and logic, selling is a very consultative, collaborative and honorable endeavor. Come and hear why one former engineer bucked his former department head and went over to "the dark side" of sales and marketing, and how his engineering background was invaluable to that transformation!
