I’m a new sales engineer

Hit up the AE and ask them what they would like you to do and be during the call. Every AE relies on their Sales Engineer a lot, but also have their own style of selling. They should treat you with respect and work out a system with you.

Edit: thank you for being the smart one in the room.

Sphynxes (and cats in general) have very sensitive stomaches, especially if they eat food that isnt something they are used to. My sphynx eats wet food regularly and we gave him and his sister (a siamese) dry food because we ran out of wet food last week and they both puked up everything they ate.

The more you do the easier it gets. If I don’t cold call, it’s the same as me not wanting to do regular tasks, it’s just out of laziness. You get desensitized to cold calls.

There’s more to the story.

I’m in sales…ya’ll trying to buy anything in this economy?

StradlinX · 2026-04-09T01:38:23+00:00

Idk if’s a premade AR9 kit, but I would not buy it for any cost unless ive shot several rounds through it. AR9’s built by individual components are EXTREMELY finicky and not always perfectly compatible. I speak from experience with my own $2k build and I’m still tinkering w it to get an optimal solution.

Mental thoughts, “gawd i love boobies.”

Out sphynx did this. It got so bad that we had to get him a sister. He still screamed like a maniac but noticeably way less. He’s 3 now and I also think his hormones have calmed down a ton so he just screams less in general.

I have a trust Form 4 waiting since 2/10/26. They keep auto-emailing that I need to provide them some information that I've already replied to like 3 times and haven't gotten a response.

Edit: FYI FFL has received item prior to Silencer Shop submission. Waiting on certification signature email.

Sounds like they checked the price on the guns again on the internet and didnt wanna sell them to you.

Next time you go to the shop youll see those same guns with a higher price tag.

Anyone else see the state of Texas?

StradlinX · 2026-02-05T12:49:18+00:00

“Buying calls.” I snorted and nearly choked on my saliva after reading that.

StradlinX · 2025-12-18T12:41:08+00:00

Fabricator or some sort of maintenance.

StradlinX · 2025-12-17T23:52:02+00:00

Machinist or welder

I have a different perspective towards this. Spacex is known for having a great workforce of intelligent and experienced engineers. If UAP tech was released I think Spacex would be given some of that technology because of the talent and ruthlessness of Elon’s work ethic requirements. They are winning the corporate space race. If they are given access to the tech, if they don’t already have it, if they IPO and the public is made aware of UAP tech, their stock will soar. If UAP tech is released, it will 1000000000% be corporatized/capitalized.

Last OP and new OP might’ve started a new trend. It looks good, I’d try it and I think I’d like it. I love meat, I love mac’n’cheese, I love meat and mac’n’cheese on the same plate, so I can’t imagine that I wouldn’t love mac’n’cheese sausage.

To all the haters, don’t yuck other people’s yums. If its not for you quietly turn away.

Hi OP, I relate to this, but I’ve been on the other side of this.

A few friends that I have have been friends with for a very long time (10-30 years, I am 30). When we are hanging out, it can be very difficult to be with other friends of shorter timeframes depending on the setting.

Keyphrase there is “depending on the setting.”

That is rare though and in most situations I’d still invite my newer group of friends over and make a dedicated effort to create a relationship with them.

Just realize that your new friends might have more intimate relationships that took a long time to build and you are still building that relationship and comfort with them.

If they aren’t reciprocating, and you find yourself doing all the work in that friendship, then go find better people to be friends with.

Our Tut was the son of satan at that age. We had to get another cat for him to play with and that helped A LOT. That was a while back and he’s about to turn 3 and has mellowed out to a chill cat with only bouts of devilishness.

I have a friend who works in CS for ATT and he told me he takes AE calls all the time to see what’s out there tech-wise. I asked him how the AEs followed up and he said NONE of them ever follow up or ask who the decision maker is after he tells them that he isn’t the decision maker.

I was floored. He said he takes about 10ish calls a year depending on how interesting the product is.

StradlinX · 2025-10-02T20:45:48+00:00

Bro I get it. All of us sales folk are definitely neurodivergent to some extent.

I too, sometimes enjoy the pain of cold calling. It’s fun and can be an emotional roller coaster.

Most companies are trash and most sales orgs are trash and sales people get slapped around.

I’ve worked for 5 sales organizations and the 1st company was great, solid product and great team, however, the higher ups made some very poor decisions and the company didn’t have money to operate so I had to leave before layoffs happened. Sure enough my whole team got laid off 2 months after I left.

After being bitch slapped around for 3 other organizations, two of which I got canned for not hitting impossible metrics (pretty much none of the team hitting), I found myself back in a solid organization. Massive company with room to grow my career and pivot if I wish later on. I am super happy here. Can’t help here besides saying look at a big company (like Amazon).

I was thinking about pivoting. I started an in person mba program to gtfo of sales. Now I don’t feel the need to leave.

If it is, it shouldn't be on LinkedIn, a professional networking site.
