Sales and technical depth, checked together.
A logo on a resume isn't proof. These questions are where we start.
“Walk me through your biggest PLC/SCADA deal: who the engineer was, who signed, and what almost killed it.”
“A line keeps faulting after a ControlLogix firmware update. How do you isolate it without stopping production?”
“How did you sell an Ignition or FactoryTalk upgrade to a plant manager who had no budget for it?”
“Tell me about a startup you commissioned. What broke, and how did you get it running?”
Then we check the numbers they carried, the buyers they sold to, and whether the engineers they worked with would work with them again.
