This book is really a love story for Sales Engineers in
disguise. We follow the journey of our hero, Elias, as he meets his true love,
and simultaneously learns to love both his potential and himself. In
The Social Sales Engineer, author Patrick
Pissang uses an entertaining blend of philosophy, quantum mechanics, and pop
psychology; all mixed with tea, to guide us through the development of Elias
from a meek, timid, and self-doubting SE into a hero of his own making who wins
the girl, achieves fame and fortune, and saves the planet.
There is something of Elias in each of us, and that is the
beauty of the book. It probably won’t directly help you to give a better demo
or improve your PowerPoint pitches, yet it will help you in a journey (if you
take the first steps) to self-realization and potentially a bit more happiness,
innovation, and joy in your SE life. That’s not a bad return for under $20. Give
it a read!
