Customer travel requests are picking up. Have 6 customer visits in the next 3 weeks.
That said, I have told 3 sales reps this week, if your only allocating 30 minutes for my session, I will not be attending in person.
How does your deal work?
Are you a manufacturers rep?
Are the sales poeple your direct guys, dealers?
I am a sales engineer (software demos) for a software company.
Sales rep are direct guys, no VAR’s.
The sales rep confirms the meetings with customers, then the sales engineers have to figure out how to present all the features that meet customer requirements in the time allocated. In some cases, we get 30 minutes, but have 2 hours of content to show the customer.so you book your own time vs the sales guys booking you if you get to decide where you will and wont go.
DO you report up to a sales manager? Or engineering?
What kind of software?

I’m there in March and have to drive. Not looking forward to it and would rather fly.Vegas tomorrow for CES. But i'm driving instead of flying this time. I'm sure I'll be heading east in the next couple weeks though to visit customers.
I’m in the material handling business specializing in garment handling and work nation wide.Not sure why I follow this thread. but I do.
What do you guys do that you have to travel so much? What field are you in?
