technical – you can read API docs without crying
systematic – you track your pipeline and follow through
human – you don’t lie to customers
urgent – you move fast because our customers do
independent – you get things done without being explicitly told
typist - you can write well and can explain complex ideas simply
scientist - be open to experimentation and learn from your failures
nice to have:
you’ve sold to developers before and know why they hate salespeople
