The reason I am writing is because I am being offered a job for selling
Pro-E software here in Canada.
I have plenty experience in technological sales (Software/IT /Telecom)
but have only limited experience in engineering and CAD software.
Some friends of mine taught me a bit of Autocad and 3D Studio Max a few
years ago but thats about it....
Do you think it is feasible for someone like me to be successful at this
job ?
I am willing to learn quite a bit about Product development and data
management etc. but I am feeling intimidated by this field.
So I would like to hear your opinion please ;-)
Thanks !

They're desperate.
They just want your established client base. (names and contacts)
I personally wouldn't trust someone lacking thorough knowledge of the
product they peddle and the field they peddle it to. With or without the
accompaniment of and applications enginier.
Either they recognise you as a skilfull professional and are confident they
bring you up to speed on the product or as I said in my first paragraph.
So If you want to make a go of it, you'd be advised to know your stuff
before you hit the road.
Expect to provide a lot of support to your clients.
Just look at all the posts in this forum (news group). I would think that
most of who post here do so because the support is not forthcomming from
the vendors.
Good support sells a lot better than a skilfully crafted sales pitch.
But then, you should already know that.

I had my doubts about this and think it is the case.
What happened to good old quality sales work?
As if being a experienced technical sales specialist with great
achievements isnt enough...
As far as knowledge goes, I have shown the ability to understand an
industry in very little time as I am already reading about basic 3D
modelling techniques and applications in the CAD/CAM as well as PDM and
PLM etc.
Time will tell but I know they havent given me an answer yet so they are
doing something in the background, probably waiting for the jackpot or
something...
Thanks !
