Been interviewing for a few roles in that area. I will more than likely have to get a presentation soon. Do you like it? Any tips on what I can do to be successful in the final interview and ultimately in the role?

Not much context but I lead a team of sales engineers and other teams. Basically you need to focus 50% on your technical skills and 50% on your customer facing skills and the bigger picture of your role like the impact of your role on winning business, finding solutions using existing products or collaboration to find new ones.

I myself am not a sales engineers but most people on the team would probably say the yloke it because they're technical but they also enjoy working with customers.

I got a presentation interview next week for a sales engineer role. What do you see that impresses you or makes a successful presentation?
