Sales Professional – Seeking Technical Certification Direction?

by kyledchristian . Updated 14 years, 2 months ago

Greetings,

I am a career sales and account management professional (15 Years) looking to “shift” my career. My ultimate goal is to enter into a pre-sales/technical account management/Sales Engineer”ish” positon where I am not abondonaing my sales tenure and still working with sales people, but not chaseing the carrot so to speak.

I am taking this year off to go to school and have been advised to take MCITP, CCNA, and Networking + certificates to quickly get ramped and able to jump into this type of role.

I could REALLY use some career advice from someone as to what certificates would carry the greatest power in the shortest time frame. I don’t have 4 years to get my BA in Computer Science (Which I would love) and have been advised this would get my foot in the door. I have begun the Networking + studies and am progressing well but hitting major brain blocks on the MCITP Active Directory class!

– ANY advice would be much appreciated.
