Belleflex Technologies is a Pennsylvania Manufacturer. They Specialize in precision engineering and manufacturing for critical applications. I worked for 9 months at Belleflex as an engineering coop. Over my time I got to be a part of and see the sales team in action. Each member of my team was a mechanical engineer. The salesmen would spend their time working on specially designing engineered solutions for customers. Our team worked very closely with each customer. In this context a salesman actually does a lot more than selling, including engineering consulting. Our customers loved the input and help we were able to offer and in some cases relied on our expertise. <\/span>

\n<\/span>In class we talked a lot about bad stereotypes of sales people. I think that technical sales is the purest version of what a salesman should be. The salesman helps the customer to identify problems and propose solutions, in this case literally design custom solutions. We can disprove the misconception that a customer needs to know what they need before working with a salesman. With custom engineering being an expected part of the experience, a customer relies on the salesman to tell them what they need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Belleflex our technical salesmen were the most successful.Customers kept coming back again and again. Once a trust relationship has been made customers are often willing to come back with bigger orders for important projects. Often being profitable on a first order with a new company was not the priority. First orders were a chance to build a relationship focused on helping the customer succeed. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
