A technical person who works with a customer considering a purchase of software, rather than a customer who has already purchased something they need to implement. Account Executives are not technical enough to answer whether or not a certain use case or enterprise architecture is compatible with the product in question, SE's are, and can mock up and present demos to show what the app might look like with the customer's branding and verbiage applied.

Sales engineering is a role in sales that combines technical knowledge with sales skills. Sales engineers work with potential customers to understand their technical requirements and provide solutions that meet those requirements using the company's products or services. They bridge the gap between technical teams and sales teams, helping to ensure that the sales process runs smoothly and the customer's needs are met. They may also provide training, product demonstrations, and technical support to customers.

My boss asked me what id like to do moving forward at work. The department im in has gone under many changes the past few months. I was really hoping the business would put me in a place they “need” me but instead it’s up to me…
My goal is to reach the top, climb the ladder and one day be CEO. I have a lot of outside influences that make this a possible venture.
I’m currently in sales but don’t know if the right path is to continue in.
What should I say to my boss, knowing I’m on right path?
