Registered SE Coaches

Many SE/ TSR/ Presales professionals want coaching, be it 1-on-1 or in a group setting. Right now on LinkedIn, there are over 200,000 “sales coaches” shown. But who has specific experience in technical sales? Who has several years of management and/or coaching experience? And who supports the professional association for technical sales (NAASE)?

To answer these and other questions, NAASE has created our webpage for “Registered S.E. Coaches”. Members and other website viewers are able to simply review the various bios for these coaches that have sought registration. If you are interested in speaking to them, please contact said person directly. We have included links to communicate with them. If you have any questions on the process or criteria, please reach out to NAASE at info@sales-engineering.org.
Thank you

**Please check back often to see more SE Coaches, as we add them!**
