What does it take to be a Sales Engineer at Splunk?

• Curiosity: You tend to want to understand the why of a scenario as much as the what and typically use a range of skills to discover whether the first response to the question really describes the situation or its implications
• Sales-y and business savvy: You enjoy the chase and the thrill of the sales process. You also have the self-awareness to know or discover where you are in the sales process and have the sense of ownership to do the things in your control to drive a sale forwards.
• Customer Success: Selling is phenomenal, but customers being successful with your solutions is one of your main motivations.
• Technically Astute: Splunk Sales Engineers are detailed and have an appetite for up to date knowledge of the latest technologies and solutions.
• A communicator: You have an ability to use a wide range of communication styles to both demonstrate and convince prospects at all levels on the capabilities and value of solutions. You can tell a great story of how other customers achieved success. You communicate openly with your colleagues
• A people person and collaborator: You enjoy meeting new people, and you maintain and develop your network of colleagues, partners and contacts within your accounts. You’re unreserved, as you would feel comfortable introducing yourself to a new customer prospect and quickly build trust.
• Confident and driven: You have the confidence that comes from the knowledge that your product is rock solid, and the ability to transmit this confidence to a customer. If you're in it, you want to win it!
• A growth mindset: You look beyond the current opportunity towards the bigger picture that could exist within a prospect.
• Fun: Getting the job done and enjoying and generating fun doesn’t need to be mutually exclusive.
