It really depends on the sales segment and market. The pace and day-to-day varies greatly from Commercial, Enterprise, Majors, SLED, FSI, Federal, etc. On the Commercial side, you're probably running multiple POVs in parallel and demoing several times per week. Majors on the othdr hand, you're leveraging specialists and PMs a lot with very few POVs. Zscaler SEs are expected to be highly technical problem solvers that can collaborate and build champions. Strong IT networking skills is extremely important, especially as Zscaler continues to disrupts core networking. You are the quarterback for all technical strategy and are expected to lead technical and often times business conversations.
