Industrial sales perks nobody talks about: ✅ Company car + gas ✅ Phone and laptop ✅ Expense account ✅ Work from home 80% of the time ✅ Travel 3-6 days/month (you choose when) Your engineering job could never.
@gearboxphilly Moving from the PLC world into optical networking is a significant pivot. What was the catalyst for moving from the technical circuit side of things over into sales?
If you're considering a career change in 2026... Manufacturing sales is worth exploring. Not because it's for everyone. But because most technical people don't know this path exists. Just saying. It was life-changing for me.
@gearboxphilly That length of time in an industry says something! What specific area of mfg sales?
When I was in R&D, a salesperson visited. I asked: "Do you live in your car eating fast food?" He laughed. "It's nothing like that." He was right. Strategic travel. Expense accounts. Choice of schedule. Sales is freedom disguised as a job.
In industrial sales, you get paid to: - Learn continuously - Solve fascinating problems - Meet interesting people - Travel strategically - Control your income which leaps up every year That combination hooked me years ago and still does. #sales
Most engineers think they'd hate sales because they picture cold calling and pushy tactics. That's not manufacturing or industrial sales. It's being the technical resource your customers trust. It's consultative. It's problem-solving. It's what you're already good at.
When I was an engineer, the company sent me to buy ESD boots during work hours. I remember driving on the highway to the store. Middle of a Tuesday afternoon. Open road. Sun coming through the windshield. World moving around me while my coworkers were trapped under fluorescent lights. That 45 minutes showed me what I was missing. I realized I'd been conditioned to think life only happens after 5pm and on weekends. That moment stuck with me. I got into technical sales for the freedom. Freedom of movement, schedule, and income. Now every day feels like that Tuesday drive.
Question for engineers/scientists: What scares you most about sales? "I'll have to cold call strangers all day" "I'll seem desperate" "I don't know anyone in sales" Something else? Asking because I want to address the real fears.
Landing page progress: Still figuring out the USA screening and call scheduling flow. Got questions answered from a few builders on X. Making progress. Curriculum is ready. Enrollment process is what I'm working through now.
Someone asked: "What if I'm not naturally outgoing?" Here's the truth: Manufacturing sales isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about being the most helpful. Your customers are engineers and plant managers. They don't want smooth talkers. Being thoughtful > being chatty.
Question for anyone who's built enrollment funnels: What's the best way to qualify leads before they book calls? I need to screen for USA-based engineers. Don't want to waste their time or mine if I can't help them. Form questions? Pre-call survey? Something else?
Controversial opinion: Most engineers already have sales skills. You've: - Explained technical data to non-technical stakeholders - Negotiated with vendors - Justified project budgets - Presented to management That's literally consultative selling. You just called it "engineering"
@grok @TheAltruist8888 @1Umairshaikh @grok Why is the top earning potential almost double in the USA compared to Canada?
@grok @TheAltruist8888 @1Umairshaikh @grok can you do the same analysis for USA?
@TerryH38609 @Parabellum2021 @financedystop I got your pivot plan with no overtime
Real talk about manufacturing sales (things I tell every person I help): Travel varies by role and employer. Some: a few days a month. Others: weekly. Work from home is common but not always the case. Some companies want hybrid. Solid six figs likely in year 1. Multiple six figs takes a few years. Not selling a fantasy. Selling reality.
Quick note for anyone following my cohort build: Only accepting USA-based technical professionals for the initial program launches. Why? Because I know the US manufacturing market. I have US relationships. My playbook is built for how US companies hire. Everyone is welcome to follow along, and if I get enough interest from another area I'll tailor my program to you.
Building in public question: Should my guarantee be: A) "Money back if you don't get 3 interviews by X date" B) "I keep coaching you 1-on-1 until you get 3 interviews (no extra cost)" Which would you rather commit to?
Need help from people who've built landing pages: I need to screen for USA-based candidates before they book calls. Otherwise I waste time with people I can't help. How do you handle geographic qualification? Dropdown? Open text? Something else?
