Three tips for your technical sales engineer job ad
Explain how the variable part works and whether those rules stay stable. A sales engineer with a customer portfolio takes no risk on a scheme that changes every year.
Name the product family and the customers you sell to. Candidates look for a product they can stand behind.
Be clear about the region and the balance between road and office. How much time someone spends travelling weighs heavily in this role.
