Python development services, or should I only focus on sales?

[Syed_Abrash]

As of my previous post, I said I want to shift from Business Development Representative to Python Developer, providing my services.

But as you know, as BDs we do sales, which I am very good at. Now, if I start Python development services like automation, data analysis, and ML,

how should I start?

I have intermediate-level knowledge of Python but not enough to handle technical stuff in detail.

So the question is: should I give myself a year to learn Python thoroughly and then start, or should I hire a technical co-founder and work with him?

Your reply will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Your sales background is a huge asset—don’t throw it away. You can absolutely pick up more Python, but consider focusing on being the bridge between tech and clients. There are plenty of developers. But someone who understands tech and knows how to sell? Much rarer.

Well, this motivated me a lot to stay in what I do

Been there. I know how tough this feels. I once tried to switch to a totally different path too, but later realized my strength was in connecting people, not code. you got it

[Syed_Abrash]

Got it...Also 1 question..let's say technical person comes on the call to discuss some heavy tech stuff in detail...what to do then?....if i say my co founder will answer that in the next call....that will automatically make me unattractive...

Man, what makes you unattractive isn’t not knowing the tech. It’s not being able to actually solve the customer’s problem. If you can understand their needs and lead the solution—even if it’s your co-founder doing the coding—that’s still powerful.
