      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    Him repeating Shanes name so much is actually a sales tactic because people love hearing their own name. After a while you get so use to repeating peoples name that it comes naturally.

    I think the key here is that Antoine had alot of technical experience to begin with. Learning complex technology, learning how to code and understanding the underlying infrastructure through the technology side and not just the business side in the beginning seems to be a winning formula. Technical skills + Selling skills will yield the best results.

    I just finished Course Careers and can highly recommend it. It's cheaper than a single college course but will teach you all the fundamentals of Business Development and help you get a job at the end.
    My personal goals are 6 figures while working part time and I know I can do it with this career.

      @@Hefdotcom elite jobs, paying more than 15x minimum wages, tend to go to people who attended certain schools. It's important to know this if you want to replicate his success.
      If someone doesn't disclose or discuss this and instead points you to a mentoring program, it should be met with some scrutiny.
      This isn't a personal critique of him. This is a general critique of anyone who says "you can do it too" but completely skips over a major achievement that prominent elite employers use to determine who gets the jobs.
      I don't think most people fundamentally understand that most of the top tech companies only hire from certain schools. Facebook is infamously most likely to hire from a core set of schools. Selling a mentoring program without disclosure of these statistical labor force economic realities on who actually gets the jobs, is suspicious at best.
      But everyone is out here on these RUclips streets selling their mentoring program. So maybe if everyone else does it, it's ok?
      I don't think so.

I really love front end developing as I’m currently studying many programming languages, but this sales engineer seems pretty interesting to me. I was thinking doing a boot camp on either career or even both but don’t know which to exactly go with. Is their a way to be a sales engineer, at the same time develop or program websites. I feel like having the knowledge for both would be helpful. I am also pursuing a BS degree in business management and would like to know if that’s a good idea for working in Tech.

    • @paigeawin
      @paigeawin Год назад +1

      I've had some substantial successes in advertising and marketing sales so I must underscore how much time, energy, flexibility, and nimble speediness is required. You're very talented to be able to develop the product(s) that you will hypothetically also be selling. When you add in a BS in business management, you're almost the entire operation! Which is good, as long as you don't mind working, or thinking about working, 'round the clock. And when you're almost the entire operation, you're also an entrepreneur.
      Whichever position you start with, knowing the product as deep as a developer would, will give you instant expert status in the eyes of your clients, which will only catapult your sales career. Smart clients/customers would rather give their business to a sales executive who can "hold their hands" in the sales/acquisition arena AND simultaneously in the products specs and functions arena, even if their price is higher. Good luck to you but it sounds like you will be more than fine. :)
