What’s the difference between a sales engineer and you’re typical SDR? I have an opportunity to get free sales engineer training at my job, which would qualify me for a potential position as a sales engineer.

The difference depends a lot on how the companies themselves define these roles. Hope this helps though: https://www.marketstar.com/impact-blog/managing-sales-reps-vs-sales-engineers

You gave me a link to the company I work for! Haha thanks.

Usually, Sales Engineers are the technical brains in the field. They're the AEs counterpart who really understand how the product works and they do Discovery Calls, demos and Proofs-of-Concept. SDRs set appointments.

Well, SDRs manage customer relationship. Sales engineers concentrate more on the technical side. If you are an introvert and loves to hover over your seat, then be a sales engineer.

Is there anyone here with a similar background? Any insights as far as opportunities an MBA could afford for someone like myself? Thank you
